Might have just been kicked out of the house...

[MannyIsGod]

I'm not entirely sure if I am included in this, but I'll go a head and rephrase whatever I've said in this thread so how I feel about the whole scenerio is pretty clear:

I wish both of my parents weren't dead so I could have the opportunity to completely disrespect them in their own house, the house that they are kind enough to let my adult ass still live in, and then come and cry to an internet message board so all of the amateur psychologists can make a mountain out of nothing but a king-sized temper tantrum.

He has no clue what feeling all alone is, or being emotionally insecure and God knows whatever else until he no longer has his parents, so my constructive advice? Try having a little more respect for the people that have wiped your ty ass when no one else would, and apparently still do, and to THINK before you open your mouth. Your 18 years are up, so everything your're getting from them now is just a bonus ... how about appreciating that a little more?

Did his mom over-react? Maybe ... but her reaction would indicate to me that that wasn't an isolatated incident, but something that's been stewing for quite some time now. But, we don't have both sides of the story, so who knows.

Who says his parents haven't done some terrible to him? Who says they are deserving of what you're asking for? And saying he doesn't know how something feels is petty ridiculous and presumptuous. He may not know how YOU felt or feel due to your loss, but the mere notion that he hasn't felt the depth of an emotion simply because he hasn't gone through what you have is flat out ridiculous.

I've known plenty of people with ty parents and I've seen parents that are undeserving of any respect. Sometimes they just forgot to use a condom and that alone doesn't earn them anything.

Well at 20 years old you would think you would be ing smart enough to have left and started your own life if your parents had done some terrible to you.

If he is 20 years old and still playing Guitar Hero in their basement at 2:00 in the morning, I seriously doubt they are ty or abusive parents. And if they are, and he's quite old enough to GTFO and doesn't, then he's got no one to blame but himself. If he were only 16 or 17, or even 18 and still in high school, this would be a completely different story. But he's not.

I think it's also safe to assume that they are not abusive or ty parents because he didn't type that post with a pencil in his mouth, laying in traction in a hospital bed or from a jail cell for having raised his hand to his father. I'd say he's pretty damn lucky, actually.

I know we don't have both sides of the story, or maybe even a complete version of just one side. But I've read the OP several times and I just can't see where he is coming off as feeling "en led" or "spoiled"; he is very obviously distressed with the situation and freaked out about the bizarre turn of events. He knows he was wrong, no amount of dogpiling, badmouthing, or bashing is going to make it any clearer. Every person here, including the criticizers, know how easy it is for tempers to flare and for situations to escalate ridiculously. Within the dynamics of a family, it happens all the time at many different levels. But he's fortunate because it did happen within his family and not out in the street amongst indifferent strangers. A family is supposed to go thru things like this and recover/strengthen from it. If anything, MS is a bit immature; we've all been there. So apologize, heal, learn, move on and be stronger for it.

I completely agree. The anonymity of the internet can be fun to play around with from time to time, but it doesn't change the fact that there are actual people behind the screen names.

Like several others, my guess is that Sinister is likely in need of a little perspective, and I think it's perfectly acceptable to point that out in a constructive way. However, that hasn't been the goal of every response. Lots of folks are being assholes just for the sake of being an asshole, or because there aren't any real consequences for being an asshole on a message board. Which, in my opinion, is every bit as much of a move as scratching your face.

You gotta be effing kidding me!

Thanks!!!

I think most the folks here that are percieved as being ass holes, are most likely folks that are parents, and were raised by parents who didn't tollerate any disrespect from their kids.

IMO 20, is a bit old to be living at home, leaching of your parents, taking their without asking, and then having a conniption fit calling Mom a & shoving Dad. Then to run outside at 2 A.M. and scream " " as loud as he could, and scratch his face till it bled??? , it's time Deli-boy get out on his own, and realize there's more to life than cuttin' cheese and guitar heroes.

Sometimes there ARE consequences for being an asshole on a message board ...

So, then, am I to assume that the petty insults in your post are meant to be constructive and helpful?

Nope, but at least she wasn't scratching her face...

You know Funt, I'm not really in a mood to debate with you and your fancy five dollar words right now.

But yea, if it helps him to man-up and start taking care of himself and his , and quit being such a spoiled, whiny baby, then yeah what ever works.

I've found that calling someone a whiny baby is very seldom productive.

I think this is one of the first threads I ever read at ST...long before I started posting. Pretty sure it had a profound effect on the lengthy delay between joining and posting, too.
