working class, mom is a fundie, dad is retarded (brain damage, Cerebral palsy, no thyroid, no colon, no asshole, in a wheelchair) I will be escaping so that I do not subject my children to the same kind of carnival of horrors childhood I endured, if I have any, and if I don't, I just would like to be happy.
religiously rapturous? sorry to hear of your fathers health. Well, ....at least we're fortunate to have a bright side
my parents are good people. we don't see eye to eye on everything, but i'm not so arrogant as to assume my views are somehow superior to theirs and that i can somehow teach them to see things the "right" way. it helps that i grew up and moved out of their house..
My parents never had their own views. They had their parents views (conservative), and tried their best to make sure I would never dare to think for myself. It didn't work. There is very little my father wouldn't have done to prevent me from developing values that were different from his.
Mother= Too kind for her own good, naive, the most genuinely good natured person I've ever known. Father= Has a serious martyr complex, the perpetual victim of the world. Pathetically diluted narcissist, he is one of the cruelest people I have ever known while being convinced he's the 'last good guy left on earth' I dealt with his verbal abuse for years, but now we don't speak because he tried to take it to a physical level and I will never forgive him for making me punch his fucking lights out. lol. I have daddy issues.
Parent's are business people, so they are rich and a tad pompous. But I love them, even though they don't understand me sometimes. As much as I love and respect them, I want to make myself. They try to offer things to me but it really gets in the way of learning about life for yourself. Ultimately, their view on life though, I think to them anyways, is to raise a happy and strong family. No kids in the family anymore, but we are still as thick as thieves, and that is what they feel is important in life. Really great people, end of the day. Wouldn't swap 'em for the world.
i thought about it but there is a lot drug content in my drawings i don't believe they'll understand. I don't want my parents to know that I'm currently doing drugs. They both think i stopped in 10th grade. ..........:hide:
