Parents going too far!
Posted Sunday July 29 2007, 9:39 pm
my parents are literally forcing me to go places I don't want to go and do things I don't want to do. All the time. 24/7. I am seriously getting sick of it. My sister doesn't have to go anywhere she doesn't want to only because she doesn't want to.
Like now, for example. My family JUST got back from tubing in this river which was supposed to be only one hour long, but turned out to be six hours. Then we went to a family reunion which was seriously boring because I sat in the same place for 4 or 5 hours doing nothing.
And now, I am FORCED to get up early and FORCED to go to a water park all day with cousins that I don't even like, and FORCED to spend the night with them. No options.

Me, My dad, and his family

People it involves:
Me-teesha
my mom-tonja
my dad-daven sr.
my great uncle-Uncle Tony
my dad's brother-uncle tony
my dad's cousin-keith
Problem:
Uncle Tony invited me to stay at his house for the weekend. He said he wants to take me shopping. Of course I want to go. (not just for that reason)
My dad is an alcoholic. Everyone knows it, but they just don't know how he acts when he's drunk. Only my family does. (meaning me and my mom). Well, my mom finally decided to tell some of my dad's family. Well, my uncle tony. He told the rest of the family! That's why my Uncle Tony came down. I think the only reason he wants me to go spend the weekend at his house is to questi...

My Brotherr..
Posted Saturday July 28 2007, 10:26 pm
Me and My brother used to be so close, like, best friends. Then he made other friends, bad influences basically, he started stashing beer and smoking stuff. And totally forgot about me. He thinks I betrayed him, because I looked around in his room to find empty beer cans and stuff because my mom didn't believe me. But my mom didn't do anything, of course she thinks its just a "phase" but sometimes I cry because I see pictures around the house of me & him, and now he won't even look at me. Sometimes I day dream about like, if I killed myself, how he would feel. I mean , I don't think I would ever kil myself but since he doesn't smile I don't smile either. I don't know what to do, I just want him to like me again. What would you do?

About 5 years ago my brother Barry brought home a kid named Cory. Barry brought him home so he could work on the ranch with my family. He was just staying for 2 weeks but then ended up staying for 5 years. In this time my cousin (Bailey) who was 14 and Cory 24 started dating. They kept it secret, but it went on all the time. All this time Cory had become my brother. My brother Barry died 2 years ago from a drunk driver. He was 24. Bailee was 16 and Cory was 26 My whole family and Cory watched him die. Before we were told that Barry would not make it, Cory and Bailey were hugging and I saw them. She was crying and Cory was crying too. I gave Cory a hug and my cousin and I kept telling him he had to stay. We both knew my brother wasn't going ...

probably a stupid question
Posted Friday July 27 2007, 2:08 pm
No one understands me and I don't mean to talk about only myself. I don't want to come off as arrogant. I hate how everyone thinks I'm selfish [my mother mostly] but can't tell me why they think that. I want to ask them "what do i do that makes me seem selfish to you?" but I don't know how to say that. No one seems to see [except for a few people that have noticed my apparent "big heart", my grandmother and aunt] that I try so hard to make sure everybody's pleased, but I don't take time to do anything for myself, and I go along with what other people want or are doing because I want them to be happy. At home, my mother is planning on divorcing my father. I don't know the whole story, but she filed a domestic violence thi...

Cooking for myself

15/f
Just to clarify one thing:
I'm a vegetarian not because I want to lose weight but because I promote animal rights. And I plan on turning a vegan when I turn 18. [No one seems to know what goes on in the animal factories. It's living h*ll for the animals and we as people certainly do not need meat to survive.]
I basically run 2 miles in the morning and walk 2 extra miles and do some target toning exercises for 40min the morning or an hour of pilate [sp?] I need to lose weight because I have fat on my stomach and down below all the way to my calves. I need to watch my caloric intake, and to do this, I cook for myself most of the time, because 1. I'm the only vegetarian in the family 2. I can control ...

Grandpa in over head and needs out....
Posted Monday July 23 2007, 5:58 pm
A few years ago, my grandmother passed away after a long illness. My family was devastated,especially my grandfather. Some time passed and he met "Teri". She is 30 years younger than him,in fact she's 3 years younger than his youngest daughter. Teri does various drugs and has been in jail for larceny. While out on probation this past Christmas, she stole my grandpa's car and his ATM card. The car was recovered Around New Years, she stole more money from him (he forgave her) and wound up in jail somehow. Now my grandpa is tens of thousands of dollars in debt as he pays her bills off (which includes lawyers to get her out of jail),as well as his own. He makes very little money as it is. He's come to all of us for loans. We're a clo...
