*sigh* Will it ever end?

[Wolfram22]

Let me start with this. I absolutely resent every member of my immediate family. I know that people say that a lot, but I am completely earnest about this. I resent them. My brother is constantly calling me vulgar names, my mom always takes his side in arguments, my dad used to yell at us all the time... That's hardly even the beginning too. I've just gotten so sick of it all. The only person in my life that I love is my girlfriend Katie. What makes things even worse is when I do something my parents see as wrong, they threaten to take away all avenues of communication with Katie. My computer that I bought, my cell phone that I bought, and the iPad that my school district gave me with instructions to not let anyone but myself touch. The closest I can come to being happy is when I'm away from my family and with Katie. I don't even get to see Katie every day either. We live thirty minutes away from each other and neither of us drive yet. We don't even go to the same school. I'm so sick of living a life that I hate. I just want to get away from my family. I can't stand being around them. I just can't take it any more. I'm so sick of all the crap my family gives me. I've tried talking to them about all this. All they ever say is "What did we do to you?" They all think that they are so blameless, that all they've ever done is try to make my life the best it can be. They are all so wrong. The only way I can actually describe the last six years of my life is as a living hell, and it's all because of them.

Well first off - Depending on where you live, if you have bought those items, they LEGALLY cannot take them away from you. But please note, when you start getting police involved and when you get your stuff back, chances are your parents will find other things to take away, or they may just kick you out of the house period. So really, the legal stuff is a game - and if you cant win it - don't play it.

Other than forcing your parents to give your stuff back when they take it away, there really isn't much else you can do.


The last thing I want to recommend is for you to write a big letter to your mom and dad. Let all your feelings out. Then, if you feel necessary give it to them. If they don't communicate back in a positive way, or don't communicate at all - then there really isn't much else to do but to ignore them and try to stay out of the house or in your room as much as possible.



Best wishes,
