My mother and I have very bad issues when we live together. been arrested 2 times and im not even 19 yet, so granted i didnt turn out to be perfect. I was put on a very strict juvenile probation, then an adult probation at the same time. I was legally under guardianship of the legal system, they tried to tell me where i could and couldn't go. I hated every second of it, i got away with a lot and got in trouble for some. After my second time in jail, my mom wouldn't let me move back in, so while still in high school, i was sent to a homeless shelter for women.I lost everything that was important to me, a great job, an awesome boyfriend and most importantly my moms trust for me. it sucked, we fought all night sometimes. She would verbally abuse me and make me feel like shit sometimes. but she took lots of pills, so i just blamed it on that. but i know its not just that. it cant be,can it? C Is it possible for someone to be so angry and spiteful for no reasonable reason. Granted I did wrong, but never near what shes done to me. But, we are good now.Im living in my brand new,spacious VAN! its amazing, i will be traveling across country.... away from all my worries....
There's always a reason but too often we don't know what reason really is. Then you probably weren't the reason ... the real reason, or at least not the whole reason. When people become angry and spiteful ...as a way of life, it's usually because they feel hurt, mistreated by life and people, and it sticks. And it's hard to break out of that... to see and create a positive life again. It's always worth remembering that other people are just human too.
Unfortunately, you guys (kids) don't come with instruction manuals and we're not taught how to be parents in college. What we learn, we pick up from those around us. We make mistakes.
you remind me much of me! i also have problems with my mom, and i have a van as well and plan on traveling too, i wish you the best of luck!
that sucks. ive been there before even the arrested part. my mom is crazy psycho though so my family thought it would be best to take her out of our lives. ive been so much better without her in my life. but im happy for you and your van. your plan sounds like fun. i plan to do some traveling next year if college doesnt work out for me.
Yea sometimes the environment we are in just doesn't allow us to be prosperous. Good luck and be happy~
i have been in and out of her house for the past year and i just moved back out again tonite. she cut up my credit and told me to get the fuck out.so i did. we just cant live in the same house, we are great when im somewhere else and fight like cats and dogs when im there. i know she loves me, but ive told her many of times she is making me hate her, i dont want to but some of the things she does are unforgivable. i wish here was a switch i could just flip off when she starts to malfunction and go all crazy.but that would be TOO easy!
i've got same thing going on except it's with my dad not mom, been there done that with the cops thing, told him to fuck off, went out on the road, had a daughter of my own, who is now 2 years old, so i'm just hopeing that i can learn from the shit that i went through as a child and infilct as little of that as possible onto my child. the on the road thing was great, real eye opener, i found the rainbow family, people who loved me for who i am, not what they want me to be, or think i should do or become or whatever. you'll definately find your nitch in life sister and you'll find out when you're miles and miles away from your mom you'll miss her, but hey that's what cell phones and emails and myspace is for.
i know i just really wanted to leave to go travel on good terms with her.im glad you`ve learned how not to make the same mistakes as your parents did.i know eventually things will be alrite, but it just seems like miles away....
I went through the same crap with my dad. We are just now on speaking terms, though it aways relates to something pretty on the surface. It's weird, it's fine, it's life.
