I can not fucking believe this

[phalix]

I am strongly linked to my friends. I enjoy their company more than anything else, and as a result, spend as much time with them as possible. Unfortunately, nearly all of them live in other states, so the only way I can spend time with them is on Skype (and occasionally video games). Not to mention there's not a whole lot to do where I live.

So my

kindly remind him of all the friends you have and how going to college up here will put you closer to me/brian/tony/rochelle/various other people I'm sure.

I think your dad liked us?????? So maybe if you make a calm case about it and how where you're at NOW sure you spend a lot of time online but once you LEAVE you will be among friends...... maybe that'll help?

i told him something like that and he was like YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN WHEN YOU MOVE OUT AAAAAAAAAA

ironically by making me go to this rehab thing i have to cancel two separate trips to visit friends that i had planned

[fiztheancient]

i wasnt even aware there was internet rehab

this sucks but its really not too horrible. im sure you can convince your dad its not a good idea. try sitting down and talking with him. maybe work out some kind of deal like, youll go with him to more social gatherings or something so you dont have to go to this rehab thing?

im not sure how you and your dad spend time together so that might be a bad suggestion haha

[pr0stsh0cker]

wow retarded. Can you reschedule it to at least after AC?

[phalix]

unfortunately not. This is the only rehab session that ends before college starts.

Look, the only way you'll be able to get any leeway with your dad is if you sit down with him and talk to him reasonably and make a list beforehand as to why this you think this is a bad idea.

No crying, no yelling. No "but daaaaaad"

All your dad wants right now is the assurance that once things start getting hard (and they will) you won't cave and start using the Internet and video games as an escape.

I had a discussion with him last night. Not sure exactly how he feels right now, but he seems a little less determined than before.
