Keep at your R with D. Don't give up. I remember being 16 and wanting to be left alone! Hanging around my parents...oh my! What a horror! Then I "grew" up and became a woman. Loved hanging out with my Dad and my folks. Give it time.

This leaves me a bit baffled at your outlook. It is as simple as this: If you want to change, just do it. Don't ask around how to go about it. If you're fed up with your circumstances, then change. It just doesn't "elude" you...it is right there in front of you. Either make the leap or stay stuck.
As 25 has said here previously, you just need to apply those EE principles. It's worthless and useless if you don't apply them in actual practice.
