Parents spazzin on me...

[Foskers]

OK...so this is going to be like..a mega long rant...but I gotta get it off my chest.
I am 18...parents been FORCING me to go to church ever since I was like...8. So they believe all holyness and god and jesus and all that BULLSHIT. I absolutely...fucking...HATE church. I am there every Wednesday and sunday morning and night. I see NOTHING but the same people there doing the same thing over and over again. I have yet to see any evidence of god or any miracles. Much less anything for myself.

I still live with my dad. I am a horrible spender and cannot save money for a car. (dad gave me one but the god damn thing broke down like..3 days later.) My employer, (I work house contsruction for 250$ a week...) has laid me off for the last two weeks...

My dad is also a police dispatcher and He recently found out about my smoking of the beloved plant. However he happens to be somewhat cool about it. All he said was that if he caught me holding any in his car or house that he would arrest me himself...though he never said anything about me smoking it.

Next day he tells my mom and she has BITCH FIT. She is so god damn protective that she won't even let my sisters who are 10 and 6 go outside to play without close close supervision. So she flips out on me and goes on with the rant of "your killing your brain and your so smart and you can do better with your life and yadda yadda yadda.." we've all heard this argument.

She then goes on to threaten to take me to jail. Saying that I openly admitted to smoking marijuana and even driving under it's influences. This bitch is so hell bent on making me into gods image and what she wants for me that she is willing to take her own son to jail!? She also said that she was going to have my dad's house watched for cars that should not be there late at night. She said that if any car was over there that they and their vehicle should be prepared to get searched. (They are divorced and all my friends and I are night owls. 1 am is like..our morning.) What kind of sick twisted bullshit is this? I hardly think this is what GOD would want. Much less shoving religion and all that SHIT down my throat. As we all know..forcing someone to do something only drives them further away. Apparently she missed that day.

I mean...I want to stay on good terms with my mom. I love her. She has done alot for me....but I can't take her and my dad's religious bullshit anymore...nor can I take her over protectiveness and ranting anymore. I gotta get out...no matter what the cost...

I am not like most people.
My income and job situation and living arrangements DO NOT directly effect my happiness and contentedness with my life. I can work a minimum wage job and be happy. NOBODY seems to get this. I don't have to make a certain amount of money to be happy. There is more important things in life than feeling good...

Let me hear some opinions...

I'm not sure but I think I may have posted this in the wrong forum...
Would this count as an experience?
Damnit...

If it really bugs you that much move out. Your 18, of legal age to basically leave If i remember correctly. They might and probally will cut off any money they might be giving you or write you out of the will, but you are of legal age to just leave.

[Foskers]

It's not that simple. Right now I got no car. No money. And no job that's worth a damn. Me and a friend are plotting to move into an apartment...But he is gone to chicago right now and I can't get things rolling without him. But when he gets back everything will be great. I am focusing on a car so i can get there...and he is going to get the place. When we both have jobs...paying for the place will be easy as hell...
I WANT TO MOVE OUT. But I can't right now...short of living under a bridge...Lol..

My opinion is that you have a lot of growing up to do as well as you need to show your parents some respect. It isn't their fault you don't know how to save money and as long as you are living with one of them you need to respect that. What do you think will happen to your dad if they bust you with weed in his house when he works for/with the police.

[DaPolarBear]

Hahaha, nice avatar BTW.

Aslong as your living under there roof and they are paying for you have to follow there rules... or atleast not get caught breaking them. but once you move out your basiclly free unless they like try and narc on you. But i doubt it. and since your 18 they can't legally try and stop you.

[Foskers]

Well...you think my parents are respecting me by shoving their god damn religion down my throat, Fakeboobsrule? I doubt it. I respect and love my parents as they have done alot for me and taught me alot. I would not be where I am now if not for some of the influences and direction they have given me. I AM thankful for what they are doing...but it seems like no help is in sight from this monotonous bullshit.

unno ur moms deffinatley overreacted tho

cuz thas bullshit they cant juss search it for no reason newayz

but ur best bet would be to move out ASAP

I took my kids to church with me every wednesday, and sunday,when I had them and if they had weed in the house and/or were driving while under the influence, I would have taken them to the police myself too. I will *NOT* put my livelyhood or my pension at risk by my kids doing something stoopid. FWIW, I did 22 years in the US Coast Guard (read this as FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT). Both of my kids survived, and are doing well....one is starting her senior year in college on a full ride scholarship, the other one just started college.

You have 2 choices..... you can grow up, quit whining, and learn to respect your parents, and their wishes while living under their roof, or you can move out and make your own way, while you still think you know everything.

It isn't what you want to hear, but then again, lifes a bitch then you die.

Let me hear some opinions...

Opinions? Alright. My opinions are as follows...


I see many flaws in that situation. Of course with your mother being uneducated about the facts (which is not really your fault, it's hers for blindly believeing in the Government), and then in you. Your father seems like a pretty cool guy. I actually wouldn't mind being stopped by him. He does have the right to arrest you if he catches you doing something wrong, and he would be right for that, because he is a cop. And if you possess or commit anything illegal in his presence, in his house, or in his car, that is in blatant disrespect for both him AND that law. I won't even begin to critique your Mother, because it's obvious as to what she really needs to do.


Now. Religion. I think you have failed to understand the concept. God will never directly do anything for you. That is why you have never experienced a "miracle." Has anything good happened to you, out of nowhere, due to the graciousness of others? Say, like your father buying you a car? THAT can be considered as a modern-day miracle from God. Or any other things, such as good luck, finding money, etc. But religion is not just about getting what you want, Religion is worship. Some people believe that if you truly worship His being, you will be allowed to pass through the Pearly Gates and into Heaven. Worship is something you do selflessly, that is why this concept is dieing out, because young people like you think it is pointless. Bringing me to believe that you are a little self-centered. Example: You say you bring in about $250 a week, and you live with your Dad, who is a police dispatcher. Now, they don't make a whole lot of money, yet he STILL bought you a car, which that right there saved YOU alot of money. Then you complained that is broke down. Now I know it is something to complain about, but it's nothing to attack your Father with, since you do bring in income, and you can fix it if you really want to. But apparently you don't, because you haven't saved any money. Being a "terrible spender" isn't an excuse in life to never get what you really want, because if you REALLY wanted your car fixed, you would save up.


I do have a suggestion for you. Since your father doesn't seem as thick-skulled as your mother, I suggest that you speak to him about you not feeling that Church and Holy worship is not for you. If he disputes, again make the point that you have been doing it for ten years, and you have come to the conclusion that is truly is not your place in life. Being as religious as you say, he should understand.
