Rant about my family and life


Nightfall

Where to start...

 

What you may not know is I cannot wait to get away from my family. I look forward to going to the community college to start my classes so I don't have to deal with them.

My older brother said I was the one being rude to the others, and they all blame my "extensive" time on the Internet. [sarcasm] Yet I love how they can do what they want on the Internet for hours while I can't, and how my older brother can be rude to the others (it feels like it's pointed mostly at me) after extensive time on the Internet and after talking to his girlfriend a lot, and he can basically get away with it.

 

I feel unappreciated in my family. I feel like everything I do, everything I say, is being monitored. I try to say something funny; it fails. My siblings do something else 'funny,' everyone laughs. I try to get help for a chore, and I get in trouble. My younger brother does the same, and all of a sudden, it's fine. I make a suggestion, I get shot down. Someone else suggests something similar, it's approved. Something happens, a few people are pissed, and thirty seconds to three minutes later, while I'm still chewing on what happened, everyone is fine and acting like it never happened.

 

The only things keeping me from telling my parents this are the fact that they might take away a lot from me if I bring this up, or I might get kicked out, and I have no place to go. I haven't been trained for hard times, which slightly pisses me off.

 

And after everyone is fine again, I start thinking it is me and I'm mentally challenged somehow, like I need psychological help. Maybe I do...

 

The point is this: I can be easily triggered into bad moods, yet no one sees this. No one in my family, that is. And then they make decisions that just piss me off more. I can't stand it. I look forward to getting away from them.

 

I feel lucky to at least have you guys. Some people who, I know I don't know them in person, appreciate what I do. Who comfort me when I feel like I'm falling apart. Who love me despite my faults. Who help in times of need...

 

I'm done. I'm off my soap box.

We'll be here as a community to help you out in whatever you need, we'll do our best to make you feel better :) Don't think of yourself as mentally challenged, it's just the circumstances around you that are making you feel that way... As time passes, you'll break free from all of this, and become something more than they have ever thought. They will regret all of the times that they treated you this way, because you will be something greater than all of them, I believe that is true :) Just put them aside for now, and as a community, we'll be here to help ya out :) and if there are people here that appreciate you for everything and who you are, there will always be people out there that you meet as well, that will feel the same :) If people who don't know you in person care about you this much... there will be a lot more out there that you'll me that will care about you :) Whenever you want to talk, send me a PM or to anyone, we're happy to be here for you ^^

This happened to me a couple times. And whenever it happened, my rebellious side comes out.

 

I say you conquer your fears and share all your concerns with your parents. Preferably on the day before you enter college.

If you don't raise the issue with them, nothing's gonna happen or change for you, and you're going to stay unhappy.

 

I row with my parents all the time and I, too, cannot wait to get out of my house, but I have a few years to go yet. However, if they're being unfair, you need to confront them. If they get angry, demand to know why they're angry. Don't let them shove you down. Yes, they may be your parents, but there are extents to that-if they start to disrespect you, you have every right to disrespect them.

 

I'm not saying be rude; be assertive. Let them know that you're not just going to get pushed around in a stern but polite manner.
