So, irresponsible actions that could have been prevented are OK, as long as it was "God's Plan"? Heh, I doubt it, but whatever...
ohh come on......... this is getting ridiculous. he tried to get so many females pregnant?????????? was he married to any of them??? he tried and tried??? and he is just 21 years old...... now he is with you and he got you pregnant, so once he thought he was sterile, now he thinks he is a super sperm god??? come on. thats called being lucky. not getting any of those girls pregnant.
so what if he isnt marriage? not everyone believes in the institution of marriage.. or that it is even half neccasary.
yeah I guess its also god's plan to have priests molest young kids too. doesnt necessarily make it right...... but hey, god planned for it to happen!
I am not giving you the reasons as to why i did drugs and drank I am just saying this is what i dealt with in life . You want the reasons why I did drugs and drank here they are...................................................................... I enjoyed being high I enjoyed getting drunk not an everyday thing These two things were my reality and my way of having fun. NOw you can officially say "sounds like what a drunk or druggie would say." So go sit on a nail.
yowza, this turned into a crazy thread I HATE it when people ask a question when they already have assumptions and refuse to listen to the reason/experiences/logic of another person's view point. So booze and alcohol aren't for you, dont' consume them, especially around kids. That's YOUR choice. You even said that there are exceptions to drinking/smoking around your children (around pg 3 I think). FallenFairy, you sound like a bloody strong woman - I'm quite frankly amazed that you lived through that abuse to be able to be in a healthy relationship, let alone feel safe enough in this world to bring a new life to it. and madcrappie - if you don't want to hear an opinion different than your own, don't ask the question.
you are just proving my point......... that kids who smoke pot and drink with their parents lead on into abnormal behaviour when they get older. you said earlier that if it wasnt for drugs you would probably be dead, and your psychiatrist couldnt help you cope, did you not??? so of course you are saying that drugs helped you through the bad situations, much like a drunk or druggie would say. dont take that back.
hey if I didnt want to hear an opinion, do you think I would have even started this thread?? It sounds to me that YOU people cant take the opinions of me. IM the one getting attacked here, not!?? for the opinions I have stated. I do drink. but I dont drink with my parents. I have smoked pot before, but never around my parents. I havent smoked pot regularly, and I havent done it in 6 months.
But you're condeming people without giving their stories a chance. You sound like (to me at least) that you're simply assuming drinking/smoking around your folks is damaging. I don't feel damaged from drinking with my mom. Yes, I am of legal age in my province now. But she'd let me drink wine/etc since I was 15ish, and I don't feel worse for it - I don't feel I have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. The only reason why my mom never smoked pot around me is because it's illegal, not because she feels it would be bad for me. Hell, second hand smoke from cigarettes is probably a lot more damaging for more people, and that never stopped her.
What about in Europe Ryan? Its pretty common culture for people over there to drink with their kids from a very young age. What's your take on that?
I don't give her story a chance....and that's because everyone has had their rough spots in life. No one's story is any different than anyone else's. We've all had fucked up times in our lives. My life certainly hasn't been a piece of cake, not even close...shit I'll have to deal with most of that stuff the rest of my life, but that hasn't ruined the person I am. I didn't get pregnant as a teenager because of it. I didn't let drugs and drinking run my life. *shrugs* No one's story is any more "special" or any different than anyone else's. If you think yours is worse, you're just trying to make people feel sorry for you.
go live in your fantasy world......... just face it. smoking pot with your parents leads to abnormal behaviour once you get older. you are just 19 yet....... now you are talking about health. smoking cigarettes is a whole different situation. Im talking about mentality and behaviour, not your health.
exactly. just because someone has had a rough time, doesnt give anyone an excuse or any kind of cop out. Everyone has a rough life. what about me who dealt with my alcoholic father??? I didnt go out and get anyone pregnant or kill anyone. I guess if I was a girl, and I got pregnant by the age of 18, I would have more sympathy and you people would say Im holding up well on my own because Im going through alot........ can no one take responsibility for their own actions???
