OP, how much are you currently spending on comics/non-essentials? It's cool to have hobbies. It's also cool to entertain yourself when you don't have a lot of money. But if you are spending more on things you don't need, this probably isn't the best time to do it. It doesn't mean you can't have nice things ever, and living in your parents' house doesn't mean you give up all autonomy (and really, the situation does sound very frustrating), but from their perspective, you're trampling all over their wishes. Which are probably very reasonable and natural to them, but not to you- and it doesn't sound like trying to get them to see your side of it would be very productive. "Their house, their rules" always sounds too simple to me, but- they are in the position of control here. You can't change that, you can't change them- the only thing you can change is how you react to it, and for as long as you still live with them, you can't really do as you want. They might be jerks, but it's in everyone's best interest to not aggravate each other. Unfortunately, the onus is on you to start. What does your internship entail/does it offer any leeway towards getting another job in the meantime, assuming something is available? How much do you do in the house, and is it possible to do something extra to show that you're willing to chip in and appreciate what your parents are doing for you? Even if you don't appreciate it, it's practical to at least pretend you do. I'd suggest a path of non-aggression myself- go along with as much as you can, as graciously as you can, while getting your things to a safe location. Do you have any friends in the area? And seriously consider if there's a time frame for moving out that you can put together. What are your future goals? What do you intend to do in the next year? The next five years, etc. Sometimes it can be easier to tolerate current annoyances, if you have something concrete to look forward to. And more for curiosity than anything: how did your brother rack up that much debt? I'd cut him off and let him deal with his own problems, really. Maybe by comparison you'll come off as the good child and won't be bothered as much. Just be more careful with the porn, geez. No parent wants to seethat.
