Being a teenager is the toughest thing any of you will go through..well except for a divorce or death of a loved one.
Adults just do not remember how hard this time of life is for you.
They forget how important all of these things that you ask questions about are.
Parent do not have all the answers either..they just muddle through life..just like you.
I am as old as dirt..and still have some of the things that happen to you..happen to me.

I've had this problem for years. My parents and my sister always accuse me of talking too much and see nothing wrong with interrupting me in the middle or end of my sentences to tell me to shut up and that I talk too much. I respond by telling them that I was already done talking and that they should'nt assume I'm going to say more, and that it is rude to interrupt someone even if you don't care about what they are saying. At least if it's someone you care about, you should find a nicer way to tell them. They don't listen, they just keep telling me to be quiet when I try to tell them how I feel. I sometimes end up in tears, and then they tell me I'm being grumpy or silly. I'm 35 years old and I'm tired of being treated this way. How can I get them to listen? It's especially embarrassing when they do this in front of others, like my daughter, husband, other family and friends. I'm I partially to blame? Please help! (link)

Your family is rude...you should not speak untik a person is done. As far as interrupting you..how about you interrupt them..and then tell the ..hey HOW does that feel.
Your family may never give respect...families are just not known for giving us what we want. Usually they make us feel WORSE about ourselves.
That is why you seek VALIDATION form your duaghter and hubby.
Trust me YOUR family..hubby and girl.think your relatives are gaint B**B's too..do not worry what they think..THEY love you.
Ps limit your exposure to them..to me they seem to harm you more than they help you.

Your advice was understanding but I still feel that family is too important to just turn my back on. Thanks for siding with me, though.
