<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I will make this as brief as I can. I am 19 years old, a few months shy of 20. I have an incredible girlfriend whom I can see myself marrying down the road; I live in a southeastern state with my parents, as she does. Her father lives in Washington state, and has flown her and I out there twice to stay with him. Suffice it to say, I feel more at home there than where I currently am.

My parents have always been control-freaks, but not in the typical, angsty, young-adult-always-complaining way. My stepfather is verbally abusive and tries to dictate every aspect of my life, even refusing to allow me to use his weed-whacker to earn some extra money to alleviate my financial strain on them. I am a responsible kid, having never gotten in an ounce of trouble. I have a 3.6 GPA at a local university ( which I attend with no cost due to scholarships ), but this is the most pertinent part of my plea.

Both I and my girlfriend have no desire to stay here, and we have no passion for college education at this point. We are young and have yet to discover what we would like to pursue in the form of higher education. 

I apologize for how long this is; reading the rambling problems of a stranger can't be too interesting. BUT, moving on, my ladyfriend and I have thought to request of her father a huge favor - allowing us to move in with him. He is fairly well-off and also is a generous man, and so he would continue to pay for most bills, but we of course would pay for insurance, phone bills and any frivolous spending fancies that we indulge in.

As all young adults are destined to desire, we want to take a few months off from schooling and simply loaf about and work. However, I plan on enlisting in the military soon after. Doing that will be a boon for me, and will allow for so many more opportunities in life - including a chance at discounted college costs in the future.

All of this is long-winded, and I am sorry; but any advice will be much appreciated!
<bot>: No direction in life, 20 years old, horrible situation at parents' homes. May be able to pack up and move cross-country and begin anew. Halp.
