I need someone to lean on right now

Jun 29, 2004 04:13

I'm tired of all this shit. I'm tired of fighting with my parents, tired of my mom babying me. I'm taking care of my own problems now, like I usually do, though it looks like it's going to make me lose my mom and stepdad, and I know that won't be good for my sister, I wish I could do something about that. So what the hell should I do? As far as I ( Read more... )

they don't want to trust us dcsharlequin June 29 2004, 16:20:43 UTC
i'm in a similar situation w/regards to going to seattle: i KNOW everything will be taken cared of, and i have to go somewhere that week or so anyways, but my parents don't want to believe me about knowing how to travel right or something...and yes i know it pales in comparison, but it illustrates again that they don't want to trust us. b/c they've experienced more, b/c we haven't had the chance to yet, what-have-you, they don't want to believe that we could make decisions well enough on our own. are you the eldest? that may have something to do with it too...i know it does for me...

"I am here

you tears
i'll be there in a hurry when you call
friend are there to catch you when you fall
here's my shuolder you can lean on me."

I know the feeling. I tried to get myself emancipated when I was 16. If I'd known then how hard it would be now, even with their support, I'd have known I was retarded. But hey...living life the way we do, forwards, means we *can't* know ahead of time. And neither did they. If they try to tell you they made no mistakes, they're lying, worse than you've ever done. For some reason, parents try to hide the fact that they had a past. I think, personally, that if kids grew up knowing what their parents did wrong, we'd all get along better. That doesn't mean that their problems should be yours. There's NO good reason for your mom to force all her failed-marriage pain onto you. Her personal grudges against your father are her problem. It was her decision to marry him, not yours to be born to him. You're allowed to deal w/ him in the way that facilitates your relationship. You're allowed to deal w/ her in the way that facilitates that relationship. Obviously they couldn't find a way to relate to each other, and so neither will ( ... )
