Parents spazzin on me...

[Rabbit Lion]

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...

you seem to be just like me...thats pretty much how i feel.

dont you just hate it?

[Foskers]

I loathe it...but things are improving greatly...I suggest for now...you suck it up and be "nice" I just found out...if your parents beleive you to be being good and nice...they are more apt to give you more freedom and space. Not long til I get out of here...so I can be nice and polite for a month...

If smoking is "stoopid" as you said..then why are you on a forum board? You yourself are risking your pension by posting on this board....I understand why you took your kids to church now...I neglected to look at your name the first time around. God damn southern bible belt...
I live in alabama...I know how it is...

Consider what I have said so many times on here......

Don't put yourself in a position where somebody has to *DO* something about it. What you do in the privacy of *YOUR* own home is your business, and nobody elses. (yes I own my my own home)

Use your head, and a little common sense....it will keep you out of a hell of a lot of trouble. Now get yourself a little attitude adjustment, go back to school, and get yourself a real education so you can make a real living. Yes, most everybody starts pushing a broom unless they are born with a silver spoon in their mouth.

From what I see in your posts, you could stand a healthy dose of humility also. You have a lot of growing up and maturing to do yet.

Consider that anything that is worth having, is worth working for. Nobody is just going to hand you a living. Thats why they call it *EARNING* a living.

You apparently didn't read my posts close enough otherwise you would see that I have learned in the course of the last few hours that being nice and respectful is far more beneficial to me than rebellion. And you mean to tell me you never smoked in your parents house or did no acts of rebellion as a teen? Please...
I don't CARE what job or living I EEK out...as long as I live one and happy doing so...it doesn't matter what the fuck I do for a living...be it being Bill Gates assistant...or shaving elephants with a blowtorch for minimum wage. It's my prerogative and my life. I will do with it as I please. Who are you to judge what quote"real living" is? Just because I don't make a certain amount of money that nulls the rest of my life as not "real"!? What bullshit.
And as if you couldn't tell from my typing and grammatical skills and general vocabulary usage...I have no need nor use for school anymore as it was a complete bore for me. I knew everything they had to offer. So I dropped out. And for your information, I plan to get my GED and return to college possibly to earn a degree in computer/telecommunications. One of my friends is in line to become DIRECTOR of a local hospital and he wants to bring me in as an intern. I could be making upwards of 50,000 a year no problem... So if I WANTED your so called..."real Life" I could have it as easy as getting my GED and going to the local Junior College. Don't give me that bullshit. But what you and everyone else don't get is...maybe that's not what I want or need to be happy...There is more to life than having money and a successful career.

As far as them shoving religion down your throat you will soon learn that in life the only person's actions you control is yours. So you can tell her how you feel or move out. I'm not saying her forcing her beliefs on you is the right thing. Remember 2 wrongs don't make a right so showing her disrespect because you feel she is disrespecting you doesn't make it right.

Now here are some interesting quotes about money and living on your own.

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...

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..

I loathe it...but things are improving greatly...I suggest for now...you suck it up and be "nice" I just found out...if your parents beleive you to be being good and nice...they are more apt to give you more freedom and space. Not long til I get out of here...so I can be nice and polite for a month...

You don't want to live with your parents anymore and you are trying hard to move out but money is needed to do this. What you are saying and how you feel aren't congruent at all. Look at the first post of yours I quoted. A job, money, living arrangements, your happiness, they are ALL related. It isn't that much different than most people even though you don't see it. So get a job, save some money, move out, and you and your parents will be happier and probably get along much better.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

>>Please what??? No I *NEVER* smoked in my parents home.

>>So quit your whining and *DO* something. The only thing
>>standing in the way of you doing or being what you want to

Don't give me that bullshit. But what you and everyone else don't get is...maybe that's not what I want or need to be happy...There is more to life than having money and a successful career.

>>Your obviously not happy about your life, lack of money and

>>When you over 50 as I am, then tell me how you turned out.
>>Until then, have a nice life.

Sounds shaky. Sounds harebrained. Sounds like an eviction if you don't both get jobs... Job FIRST, then apartment.

Until then, your parents take care of you. Respect them.

You may be 18 but I don't hear the voice of maturity here.

No one can 'force' you to go to church. However, Jah will always be there for you one day if you choose to go. I believe instead of blaming God for your struggles, you should think about creation, how you came to be, embrace existence while you can

Their bars could not hold me
Force could not control me
They tried to keep me down
But Jah put I around

[silkyblue]

Honey,

Im sorry for your parents they are in a fog of dissolved dreams
we cant pick our fam
mine were toxic at times mine did stupid things with their free time I wouldve gave my eye teeth to be stoned as a child
it woulve helped get me through itall

things have a way of working out they [parents in general] worry about your wellbeing and peace of mind
they need to make sure your "safe"
we all need to know "we are safe"

Are they being totally honest with you? whats with the "lecture on every corner from both barrels"
talk, talk, talk
be honest, be yourself tell them how much you love them and their home

its good to fight, [non abusiveness please]
ya cant tell em they are ugly and old
they are gonna need your youth when they "get old"
tell em to be careful

"karma, simple karma":

Id continue to "hide the popcorn", smile, and say 'praise the lord' with the bible in your hand

its a 'brand new day' here on this beautiful Earth!

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
