I couldn't just sit by and watch him spiral and deteriorate into some serious bad . As I told him, he is the one that made the decison to get shipped to Ohio by his continued bad actions and refusal to make changes.
I hope you are right.
Damn. I guess I got off lucky. We definitely butted heads but it never got bad.
It can easily happen when religion is involved :P
how many chances do you continue to give b4 you finally have enough?
My mother guilt tripped me into signing a $3,000 check over to her when I was 18 using the whole "I raised you and did this, that and whatever for your whole life" excuse. Found out later the money was used to cover her own debts. Then three years later I learn from my father and relatives on his side that the divorce was because she cheated on him and he was like this hoe. Something about being lied to your whole life just makes you instinctively angry. But you can't just quit your family like you can quit a job so I'll just be bitter and sarcastic toward her for eternity.
So yeah, I still deal with my mom but it's never me that dials her number. And when I get any of the "I'm old and need your help" phone calls 20 years from now, my response will be something along the lines of "cover $3,000 worth of my debts and we'll talk."
I posed the question because I hate hearing about kids disrespecting their parents these days. I've seen it in person. They have no problem telling their parents they hate them. I lost my mom 4 yrs ago. I would do anything to have her back with me. And since Mother's Day is coming up....well...you know.
Very interesting to hear other parent stories. Domestic abuse I can totally understand not wanting to have anything to do with that parent.
@ Joe....I hope things work out for you.
Just to be clear I do have fantastic parents and I thank God that I have them but even the best of parents can behave badly and cause riffs in the family. The bad part is that my Dad is always with my mother and can't do as much. When my mother left after our disagreement she said she wouldn't be coming back but as my Dad was leaving he turned to me and said "I love you, the kids and Pam" and don't you forget that. He hasn't seen us or his grand kids since that day. Being upset or angry with my mother doesn't mean I hate her or don't love her but I had to stand my ground, IMHO. I simply told her that if she couldn't respect my wife, as she demands we respect her in her home, then she shouldn't come around. Perhaps a harsh thing to say but I was never so proud of my Dad and so disappointed with my mom at the same time.
I lost my mother in Sept. 09 and things with my dad have never been the same. Seems my mother kept the family together. My dad has since remarried and I hardly see him anymore. Last time we argued was because he favors my daughter over my son and does not include him. He called my son a problem child and that maybe he would take him when he is older. He is only 3 and my daughter is 7. Then he told me that he really didn't want me to have more than one kid. I really don't need someone like that in my life or in my childeren's life. It is sad that my kids don't have a set of grandparents like I did. If my mother was still here none of this would be happening...Miss her everyday.
"Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord."
God bless
Everyone hates their parents at some point. It's called being an angsty teenager.
So, if your parents said worship Satan and murder a bunch of innocent people, doing so would please the Lord.
I put the big pink wound/dot on her face to preserve her anonymity. Sorry, but all you pervs will have to do w/o having her in your pleasure pics. If she wants her pic on here, then she can join ST.
There's pervs on ST?
My parents and I are on the outs too. It happened not too long ago. I was in the basement chilling with my friends and playing guitar hero. We ran out of energy drinks and decided to go on a caffeine run. I grabbed the keys to my parents minivan and they blew up. Yadda Yadda yadda I yelled as loud as I could and my girlfriend had to hold my hands because I kept scratching my face.
Been sleeping on friends couches ever since.
True story
So you yelled " " then proceeded to scratch your face???
So you don't know your dad either and were conceived in a public restroom. Nice/Sad depending upon how you look at it.
