I'm [frustrated with] my family

Post Reply New Topic

First off - No, I wasn't serious with the title.

I'm SOOOO sick of putting up with my horrible family. My mom gets really agitated whenever I try to talk to her about something. My dad is a selfish as*hole who sits on his ass in front of the TV all day every day. My brother calls me an as*hole because I don't respond to him trying to control me. And now, even my cat is trying to kill me.

If I'm going to have to LIVE with these people for 4 more years, I'm going to need a lot of pills to dope me up. What should I do?

DO NOT post a title like that if you are not serious. Not unless you want the mods or someone else mistaking it as real, and having the REAL authorities come to your door. I'm reporting this to the mods, so they can also inform you this is not to be taken lightly.

Kind of a shocking title, but ya family and the holidays can be a volatile mix, best thing for you is to keep yourself busy, and ignore them as best you can, sorry your not having a good time of it, but try to have a merry christmas for yourself.

Just curious, what did the cat do?

Sorry, didn't know...

She hates me. She runs away from me when I go near her. And if I do get near her, she bites me when I try to pet her/interact with her.

there's always the option of leaving. which will put some perspective on what you're in now. (i wouldn't.)

I'm in the same situation but I am older and feel more in control of my life. I don't feel as much controlled by family members anymore.

Just keep working towards having your own life and being in control over your own life. Let your family or someone in the family know what you are working towards.

My dad sits on his ass and watches television it seems like most of the time too. Since they are your parents, they should know what your situation is: Is it that school does not work for you? Is it that you have to find out what to do in the future? Do you need to work on social skills? Would you find out how to work on finding people around you who are more like you? It sounds like your parents are uncompatable with you: Like cat and mouse.

It's nice to know someone from "outside" can see that. My parents think it all traces back to me.

ah. . .violet_yoshi, the mods just edit the title.

The title caught my attention but wouldn't we be reading the post and realize the OP didn't mean literally kill, so why report it to authorities?



I remember how much my whole family used to bug me. They kept making messes and not cleaning up after themselves, they kept letting my brothers have lot of people over and make lot of noise and track in dirt and bam more messes to clean up and they get in my personal space.

There are better ways of getting attention. Also remember William Fruend?

Thanks much, Quatermass. I was wondering who William Freund was but was afraid to ask.

Lol. How does confronting them work out? I'd generally recommend putting as little emotional stake in them as possible. To the extent that you can at your age and situation, think of them as roommates. Don't go to them with problems. You do your thing, they do theirs.

His first sentence was a disclaimer, lighten up :-p

Oops, I posted as my mother by accident... the above post was mine. Getting some pills might not be a bad idea... also, your dad might be depressed. I can feel lazy people's pain. I've wanted nothing more than to lie in bed for months before my meds were switched.


Just use your family if you want to for 4 years and then get out.
