-- Posted by duesxmachina at 4:51 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 every single member except the dog is medicated. my parents spend they're time in a dumb blue grass band instead of doing normal things. my brother is mildly autistic and very depressed, smells like shit all the time has no friends, my dad lets us walk all over him he has an anger problem (no alcohal required by the way!) and is a welcome mat. my mom is an overly nice manic depressive who is also aware she is, and uses it to her advantage in arguments. and me, i'm the only one who knows whats wrong! Why can't they be different goddamit. -- Posted by duesxmachina at 4:52 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 PLEASE someone reassure me that i won't end up like my parents!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Posted by tell me again at 4:53 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 People with problems can relate to each other and often end up in clusters.. or affect each other and bring each other down sometimes. But don't forget that they're still people, with their good points and their bad points and everything inbetween. So maybe knowing what's wrong isn't enough to solve things. And just try to help everything work as well as possible? -- Posted by tell me again at 4:54 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from duesxmachina at 4:52 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 PLEASE someone reassure me that i won't end up like my parents!!!!!!!!!!!!! You won't, if you are right in thinking that you have more insight than your parents. You aren't controlled by them, even if they affect you a great deal. -- Posted by duesxmachina at 4:56 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 i cant im so ashamed of them, just being around them makes me feel like crap. and no one else is weird in our family just us!! even our friends are pretty normal. im not kidding when i say each family member is depressed but take it out on EACH OTHER. they're too i don't know weird i guess to get help from other non fAMILY members. -- Posted by duesxmachina at 5:00 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 so no one else here has a dysfunctional family? wow. -- Posted by bopass at 5:07 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 you won't end up like your parents just stay off the drugs
