Ok, Can't Take It Anymore

[ladysilverice]

You know I got a questtion for you guys. How do you deal with a family that believes that

everything is your fault just because things aren't going the way they planned? Also what

do you do when they think they are perfect and you are the only imperfect one in the

family? I am going insane here!!!

That sounds exactly like my parents. The problem with my family is that (I love him to death but...) my older brother is the biggest momma's boy that ever lived. He never did anything wrong in his teenage years, so when I got there, I was the one that broke all the rules and pushed the boundaries. I turned goth in highschool just to piss them off. Ka-Ta will tell you, I wore nothing but black for my entire junior year.

My parents won't listen to a damn thing I say because they are always right. No if's and's or but's. My solution is I'm moving out. I've tried everything else, I just hope distance will make them finally see. If not, then I just won't visit too often and will put up with them when I do. I was hoping the distance in college would make a difference, but it hasn't. They still had their little strings that they could pull, like my insurance and dependence on them for money. So I'm cutting all those ties. That's my solution.

Sorry, Ryo. I understand exactly what you're going through. I guess when a parent is zealous like this, there really isn't much you CAN do. However, once I move out, I'm taking Elcoholic's advice and I'm gonna write them a letter detailing how I feel. I think they'll flip and be really pissed off for a while, but I just won't answer any calls from them for a while. With a letter they can re-read it over and over. So I don't just get to say it once, I get to say it over and over!
