[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 132684, member: 2672"] Something like the following sounds appropriate: Due to ideological differences in relation to religion, I became estranged from my controlling parents who withheld my student finance from me. To become financially independent and pay for my degree and student accommodation, I worked XX hours per week, often working late nights in bars. Due to the Covid lockdowns in 2020, my main source of income was lost and I had to defer my course for a year due to the inability (to pay the university fees/university accommodation/afford living as a student) [I]delete as appropriate.[/I] In addition to the financial struggles of not having independent access to my student finance, the situation was escalated by my parent’s unreasonable and controlling behaviour. This caused stress and anxiety, particularly as my parents would try to contact me via my university. By 20XX, I was able to resolve the matter and live independently. Subsequently my grades improved, as demonstrated with my MA Law results. The Head of the XXXX degree programme was aware of this situation, and if required can provide a reference to verify the circumstances and provide their insight on my academic performance. [/QUOTE]
