I'm not my family's answering service.  I'm not to blame if my mum's busy.  I'm not to blame that my dad's train is late.  So why the fuck am *I* the one who gets chewed out because I can't make my mum not busy, I can't make my dad's train come on time, and whatever else I did ( Read more... )

I have SO been there. So, okay... one of a million examples of this same scenario came when I got a notice from the housing department over the summer saying that they WILL NOT install my 2100 BTU AC unit. Well, who bought it? Not me. Nope. My dad decided to go and buy one over MEMORIAL DAY weekend - the weekend that I worked 9 hours on Saturday, Sunday and Monday and 4 hours on Friday. Yeah, I worked like 30 hours. So I wasn't there, but my mom supposedly wrote down the parameters and didn't stick to it. I told them that I was worried about it and neither of them believed me that it was cause for worry. So, we went on about it ( ... )

Thanks Gwen. *hugs*

Anyways, yeah, things like this are getting more and more frequent. My dad's distant, and my mum is so spaced out or busy that she doesn't do anything. Then, whatever malfunctions or goes wrong (yeah, I'm definitely to blame for the SHOOTING that caused the trains to be stopped tonight) is my fault. I don't pay enough attention, I forget things, I don't understand the importance of something, whatever.

Me too. I'm trying to make time to talk to my mum this weekend about school, but I don't know if that's going to happen due to homework and stuff and other things I have to do. But yeah, it's going to happen soon because I don't want to spend another three years dealing with this.

Well, I'm here if you need me, really. I think it helps to get honest feedback. I learned that this year. It is invaluable. And yeah, with my Dad, I am always making us late (HE IS) or something rediculous. My sister says that he doesn't even remember half the things that go on because he is just out there. He's more focused on work than us. My mom has only recently started to back me up. I think me going to get help from an outside source has made her realize that what he does is really unconstructive.

Yeah. =) Honest feedback helps, and so does feedback from people who are completely outside of the issue. Thanks again.
