Sometimes I wish my folks really understood me. No matter what I do, they always see it as me doing the wrong thing, or thinking I don’t know what I’m talking about. If I discuss money and Christmas presents, it doesn’t matter how many times I say I’m not discussing it to be selfish, they’re like, ‘You’re sounding pretty selfish’. Why can’t they learn to accept that they’re wrong and I’m right, and they don’t understand me as well as I understand myself? Why can’t they learn to treat me like how I WANT to be treated, which is with respect and not like I don’t know what I’m talking about or even doing. It drives me CRAZY how they always act like I need to be told stupidly obvious facts I’m already well aware of. They think they know best for me when it comes to my ADHD and my actions? HAH! They never even ask why I do whatever it is they see me doing. And when they do, they don’t listen and think I’m doing stuff for all the wrong reasons. Of course, I try talking to them, but more often than not they get pretty pissed at me, and wind up yelling at me. Recently my mom told me to not look at her Amazon stuff and to mind my own business, looking only at my OWN Amazon stuff. Recently I looked at the list, noting two items being gone. I went into my parents’ bedroom to ask why two items were missing, and you know what I got? A scolding. And the response that ‘I TOLD YOU NOT TO GO ONTO AMAZON’. I know VERY well she never said that. And not only did she unnecessarily yell at me, she ALSO didn’t answer my question. Oh, and a threat that she'd log out of Amazon so I couldn't look at any of my lists if I went onto it again.

Just goes to show maybe I should stop trying to get my parents to understand me, because THEY NEVER WILL. They’ll just think they know me soooooo well, when, in fact, they DON’T.
