No joke. About an hour after i posted the thread about my dog, my mother just went crazy. My parents are going through a messy time, which will probably end up in divorce very soon. And since my father is an airline pilot, and gone 4-5 days a week, a lot of her frustration is vented towards me and my brother while my father is gone. So, she started going off on me, and something inside of me snapped. So, i grabbed my keys and phone, and left. She told me never to come back, which was nice of her. :stickoutt

So...adeel, your watch (and mine for that matter) are still in my house, so it will have to wait a bit. I already had a bag packed in my car, just in case this happened, but I'm probably going to need the rest of my clothes and my computer pretty soon, so i'll sneak in the house when i know she won't be there.

I was going to move out at the end of the summer, when i went back to school, so this just expedited things a bit quicker. What sucks, is that i am supposed to hear from GSU's law school TODAY, since they mailed out their decisions on monday. Too bad I can't check my mail. :(

It's not that bad actually. The only thing that really ties myself to my parents is the fact that my father (whom i get along fine with) pays for my car insurance. But it's under his business name, and since i work for him, i don't think its a big deal. Other than that, I don't really need them. I won't be going back unless i get a VERY sincere apology from her, which probably won't happen.

Anyways. Anybody else ever had a similar experience? A lot of fun huh? :rolleyes

Geez, that really sucks. I am so sorry. Do you have a place to stay?? :(

Dude, that sucks. I haven't talked to my parents in years. No big loss when you look at the big picture. Just make sure you get all of your stuff!

Geez, that really sucks. I am so sorry. Do you have a place to stay?? :(

yeah. fortunately i do. I stayed with a friend at tech last night, and another friend has an extra room at his place. He wanted me to move in with his anyways, so i think i'll go ahead with it.

But no furniture FTL.

The only thing I'm scared of is that I'll go home and all my clothes have been torched, or in the fireplace. haha.

Well, at least you have somewhere to stay. And we don't have any extra furniture, or I'd sure offer. Maybe some people on here have some... Just don't accept a mattress from Matt. ;)

I don't blame you. If I had had to live at home one more year it would have come to that, but I am gone now and things are so much better.

Good luck.

Not funny anymore.

Matt

Wow, sorry to hear about that man, my mom is the same way. I guess I'm really fortunate to have such a great dad. GL dos Santos let me know if you need anything.

For the silver lining outlook: my step-father and I didn't get along AT ALL for years and years. I moved out and within a couple years we get along better now than we ever did.
Life can be funny like that.

Good luck Dos,

CW

Sorry to hear about that! Let me know if you need furniture. We were going to have a yard sale soon, but this is for a better cause. It wouldn't be much, but its yours if you need it.

dude this sucks for you...i get along with my father alot better than i do with my mother...but it use to be the other way around. I thought about running away but then came to my senses, started putting them in their place...whats the worst that could happen? she keeps yelling at you? she try to hit you? i'm confident if she does try you wont let that happen, my mom try to smack me recently (i was being a smartass as usual) and i stopped her hand in midair and said "dont" and that was the end of it. I am just dont agree with running away (literally) from my problems. But thats just my .02. I sincerly wish you the best in whatever course of action you take.

:) Sounds like you have had the same kind of week I've had. I'm sorry to hear about that. If I can help in any way, let me know.:)

Aren't mom's bitches? I had a big blow out with my mom this past October. I told her she isn't welcomed at my house anymore if she keeps acting and talking shit the way she does, but Dad is welcomed anytime. The next morning she demanded me to take her to a hotel. My parents live in Germany, so they came down for a vacation. My dad split the 2nd day he was here to go deer hunting in Augusta, so he left me with her. By day 3 we were already fighting. She bought me a little candy dish from Italy that was pure crystal. While we were yelling at each other, I chunked it at her while she walked down the stairs, but only after she went into my laundry room and closed the door. That's when shit got out of hand. She told my father that I threw it at her and I tried to kill her. She got my dad to turn on me. They left the next day and I haven't spoken to them since then. It's no big deal. I feel better that she isn't in my life anymore anyways. She is nothing but pure negativity. I wouldn't sweat it man. You're probably better off.

Wow! Come on guy's. Everyone has bad days. I am not trying to say that I know your situation but my Parents went through a divorce when I was 12 and we had a lot of tough years until I went into the Army 4 days after my 18th birthday. Now that I am 35 and have two kids of my own I can look back and see that most of the problems were caused by all of us. I am not trying to say that your Mother going off on you is right but if you can manage to keep a cool head instead of stomping out you might be able to make her see what she is doing. My Parents and I are very close now and I ma sure if I needed anything they would be there. I do know that trying to control your temper takes a lot of practice. Good luck, and you are very fortunate, from what I can see, to have friends like you do here.<br><bR>

damn, that sucks about he watch.


j/k. Let me know if I can help you out in anyway. Im sure you have my number.

True... but you have to get away before you start getting along better. Just being apart for a while helps a lot.

Matt

Dude that's awesome. I think you can go to law school for free if you are homeless.

For the record, I left home in high school. It's gonna happen eventually.

3 yrs, 2 months, and 1 day. Nov '88 to Jan '92. I was a 24C10 which meant I was an electronics/mechanical technician on the HAWK missle system (Surface to Air missle). I tell my kids I was a rocket scientist! I was stationed in Ft. Bliss, TX for AIT and permanent duty at Ft. Lewis, WA. Unfortunately I never got to go overseas.

Im an immigrant, that crap is instilled in me. Kinda how turtles know to move towards the ocean after they're born in the sand. Yeah, just like that.

Why would you do that if you suck at hockey? :dunno

haha... me and my bro have always had that as our s/n's

Things are working themselves out.

A friend at work has a 2 bed condo in midtown, and i moved in there today. The rent is going to be pretty cheap (cheaper than living as a student at gatech!). But since I don't have a bed yet, I'm staying at tech with a friend now.

I talked to my father, and he is supporting my "moving out".

I have enough money to tide myself over for a couple of weeks, so since I work at audi on the weekends, I'm just looking for something part/possibly fulltime during the week.

Anyways. Your words of encouragement (and the few PMs) were much appreciated.

I know the Audi guys (except ahsan ;) )wouldn't have shown any concern. :confused

I wish you luck man. I always got along a lot better w/ my mom than my dad. My mom was pretty hard on me and would go off the handle sometimes. After I got in college we learned she was bi-polar. It got so bad at one time that I thought my parents were gonna split up. Fortunately they worked through it all. She is a lot better now and we get along really well.

Hopefully you'll work it all out in time. Sounds like she is taking some of the frustration with your dad and his absence out on you. I never went to the airlines cuz I got too many friends that are divorced pilots. Maybe after they work out their issues it'll calm down.

Good luck either way.

I didnt read this entire thread..but family is all anyone could have in this world..when it comes down to it no matter how angry you might be at eachother...your family is the only thing that cares about you...love yourself..your family and everything will be good in your life. The thing I hate the most about american culture is how families are run and how people treat eachother..where is all the love?

Friends are far more important than families. You can pick your friends, but you're stuck with the losers in your family.

i disagree, you are either close to your family or you are not. i personally would pick my friends over my family any day.

You guys still havnt had to experience it yet but you will at some point in your life..family is always there for you.

Upper college age. But, that does not have anything to with it. In general, he's right. In general, Foreigners do seem to have both a higher regard for family, and respect for their elders. At least in my experience, based on a few friends I have had over the years.

American society tends to be more geographically and income/career mobile and more individualistic. I am the most important thing, so, don't get in my way. Mom, you're fired!

I actually think it is rare to find a good and whole family. Out of all of my friends back home, my family seemed to be the only normal and stable one in the bunch. Most everyones mom was Bi Polar but we didnt know what Bi polar was back then. Or the dad was just gone 99% of the time, drinking and avoiding the bi polar mom at home. After years of dating GF's, I never came across a single girl who didnt have family issues of some sorts. I would tell my mom "damn, my family is quite boring and calm compared to these nutcases"

I also wouldnt trade anything in the world for my family, always there and always a joy to see and visit.

It concerns me to date someone with family issues as I dont think they fully understand how important a tight family home can be. Makes me wonder how they will handle starting a family and keeping it together. If my wife etc kicked a child out or made them feel unwelcomed, they might be feeding the trees in the back yard. It would just be not happen. I would give my life for anyone in my family and I know they share the feeling.

Having lived in several foreign countries, I completely agree that other cultures have, generally speaking, closer family bonds. However, that does not in any way lead one to the conclusion that "You guys still havnt [sic] had to experience it yet but you will at some point in your life..family is always there for you." That is simply not a true statement in any way. It must be applied on a case-by-case, family-by-family basis, and in this culture, I think it is more common that family is not always there for you.

My friends, however, have rarely, if ever, let me down.

I have a good family, fatgirl doesnt. The law of averages...and the ideal gas law.

I am 22 turning 23..I guess american culture is different...most american girls that i have dated have had family issues of some sort too...but even if i was going based on this culture..i would still trust my family more than friends..the love one has for something that they excreted is much more than a made up love known as a friend.

It's a-mirror!! :rofl :rofl

Sorry back on topic, I agree with the Count, the culture here is alot more individualistic contrary to foreign countries, so kids here tend to rely less on parents. Here, you're pretty much suppose to be on your own after you turn 18 and parents teach you that young.

the love one has for something that they excreted
A lovely image by any measure.

I love my family too.

They're the only people I'd put my life on the line for. Every time im having a hard time with school I keep pushing on so that I can be successful to support them when Im older. They came here with nothing and worked their ass off for me and my brother. There were nights where they wouldn't eat and feed us instead. My parents really are my best friends. No matter what I've done in my life or how many times I've dissappointed them (I cant wait to show them my nipples during the cruise :stickoutt ) they still love me and support me.

The way my family works is that they support me until I can support them. I dont need to have a job, they'd take out loans to pay for school but I still work just as hard or harder than people who support themselves throughout school to prove that Im from their blood. Surely if my mom could go to school to become a computer engineer with never touching a computer in her life with 2 kids AND a job, anything I'll do will pale in comparison. To imagine going to school/work and coming home to take care of two kids and make food and clean everyday is just amazing.

I so agree with these guys. I'm from the same background as these two people as well. Foreigners are more family involved, its true.
Hey Dos santos, I hope everthing works out with. I hope you move back, I really do, I say this with thought too. Your mom has loved,cared,fed, you for all those years, I'm guessing 20+++. Think about all that. If you have children one day they will need a grandma/grandpa, so think about them too. Thats all i'm going to say, I'm really young so I guess MY OPINION does not count.

oh yea!?!?!?!?!

Well, I'm not from the typical american culture either. I'm half portuguese, half korean.

I had planned on moving out last july, but wasn't sure if i was going to stay in state for school again this fall, so i waited.

Every two minutes i'm in my new place, i realize that i need to buy this and that. It's frustrating, and costly.

My mother is extremely apologetic now. I'm not moving back in with them, but the only way my father said i could take furniture from their house was if i sat down and talked with them tomorrow about this.

It's just really frustrating in general. Between this, finalizing a job, and law school anxiety, it's just a lot right now for me to go through.

I miss my dog.

To be perfectly honest. I am just angry.

I'm angry that i had to deal with all of my parent's anger since I was little. No child should ever have to sit and try to cope with all of the words that were said in my house while I was growing up. All of the embarrassment of little things like going to the store, having them argue, and having the cops called on them for disturbing the peace in a public area.

I was pretty stoic about the whole situation my whole life, and eventually, I just couldn't take anymore. I didn't run from a one time disagreement, I ran to try to escape a lifetime of bad memories.

It's just going to take some time for me. I know that. I just need to be alone for a bit. No matter how tough people claim to be, words can and will affect you over time. No matter how strong you think you may be.

No matter how tough people claim to be, words can and will affect you over time. No matter how strong you think you may be.
Sad yet true. :(

Hopefully after moving in, things will get easier and settle down. Atleast you won't have the burden of dealing with the stress as much now.

Good luck, BS like this is tough to deal with and can take years to work out. Be thankful of the good things and just work thru the bad. Plus you have an idea of what not to do when you have kids of your own.
