Wow...I really feel your frustration! I've been in your shoes, believe me...family issues can be so mind-numbingly frustrating & hurtful. But your time will come...you've got a great bike to help you release all that stuff and friends here who care. My son is older than you, is out on his own, has a GXR and we go for rides together when we can...we have headsets and while we're riding, we chatter almost non-stop and laugh & laugh & laugh about stuff...so much FUN and the laughter releases so much built-up tension! So...hang in there, Buddy!not at all Laurie! My parents have power issues too, I guess just not as bad?
It's also hard when half the time they're saying I love you, but the other half they're putting me down and calling me just those names you wrote down. I won't go into detail because it's just too long. Both my parents have control issues and there is nothing I can do about it.
This one time we were all having an argument, but I really needed to just take a walk to vent. I apparently wasn't allowed to be mad, but I couldn't leave either. They ended up locking all the doors against me. Mind you I'm 18 and just needed a walk. So what did I do? I ended up just jumping out of the second floor window. Thankfully from that moment on they've given me a bit more space, but only because I forced them to. How do you tell a person from childhood not to have certain emotions? How do you put down a straight edge kid with straight A grades, and tell him he's useless all the time? How do you limit a child's creativity, why...?
Please take care of those children! The world needs more love in it. I'm always making a mental list of what I approve of and what I don't approve of for the time when I have kids.
