-- Posted by Poeticpunker at 3:21 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 I am so upset with my family right now.   First is my mom.   I am learning to drive and the first car she throws me in is a manual.  GREAT!  Good judgement, mother, seeing as is I am extremely uncoordinated and of course, you screaming in my ear just makes me drive so much better!  Just like calling me a stupid bitch will calm me down.  Thanks Mom. Dad. Thanks.  You are going to miss my 18 birthday to go to Mrytle Beach.  Not like missing my 13th, 16th, and 17th was enough.  Did you even asked if I cared???  No, you just assume I'll be ok with it. My Sister I am SOOOO sorry I embrass you by not being a vapid bitch with no regard for others feelings like you.  God forbid I should be a free-thinking individual with some compassion. And yes, intelligence is over rated and I should try changing who I am to fit in with your social circle.  Telling me I should go die on a daily basis makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.   Ok...I am done. -- Posted by Baron Samedi at 3:22 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Your family sounds fun. -- Posted by revolutionoflove at 3:24 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 wow great fam. ( sarcasim) -- Posted by Ndskewll at 3:25 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 With your mom... try to be grateful that she's actually helping you; I know it's frustrating, because I'm in the same position. I'm getting her car that she used to drive, which is a 2001 Hyundai Elantra (stick-shift). I know what you mean about your dad. I only see my dad twice a year which is kind of tough, since he lives so far away. Maybe, you 2 could celebrate your birthday together after he gets back? And with your sister... I don't know quite what to say other than try to be the more mature one of the two when she wants to fight with you. I know how you feel, I have a 13-year-old sister that's the same way. -- Posted by Khadgar at 3:26 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Quote: from Poeticpunker at 3:21 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Dad. Thanks.

I am SOOOO sorry I [have] regard for others feelings Except, apparently, your dad's, given that YOU are getting upset that he doesn't want to inconvenience himself for YOU. Selfish, much? -- Posted by Neon Lights at 3:30 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Quote: from Baron Samedi at 3:22 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Your family sounds fun. agreed   -- Posted by Poeticpunker at 3:35 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Quote: from Khadgar at 6:26 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Quote: from Poeticpunker at 3:21 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Dad.

Selfish, much? I haven't told him. He needs the vacation and that is why I am venting here. Because I can't talk to anyone else about it. It just bothers me that he feel it necessary to have huge parties for my brother and sister's birthday and skip mine or not even acknowledge it. It makes me feel like I don't matter in the family. As for my sister, she thought it would be funny to harass someone whose mother just died. By saying stupid stuff like "Now you'll NEVER get nice clothes. Fashion sense died with your mom." I am just sick to death of dealing with this day in and out and not being able to vent at all. Emotions are looked down upon in my family. -- Posted by Khadgar at 3:37 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Quote: from Poeticpunker at 3:35 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 Emotions are looked down upon in my family. Emotions are the core of our humanity. It's always sad to hear about people who can't express them for whatever reason. -- Posted by RedNoir at 4:10 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 OK... your mom could actually be worse than mine lol. But your dad. You need to talk to him. or just fucking yell at him. Tell him he missed the important milestone b-day's 13 and 16, and now the one where you finally become an adult! If that wasn't enough, he's missing 3 b-days in a row! WOW!!! YOU NEED TO REALLY GO OFF ON HIM SO HE WILL OPEN HIS EYES. LIKE YELL AT HIM ALL THE POINTS I JUST MADE. MAYBE THEN HE WILL REALIZE -- Posted by humanivorous at 7:59 pm on Aug. 22, 2008 stupid bitch.. am i doing it right?
