Still feeling pretty icky these days, and have yet to determine the cause. About a week ago I was up in the night vomiting bile, but it might have been because of the new BC pill I was taking. But that doesn't explain all the other times I've been sick. I'm thinking it might be related to blood sugar ( Read more... )

Ugh. I completely understand what you're talking about with regard to your parents. I got so fed up with them in high school when they kept telling me I wasn't spending enough time with them and prevented me from seeing the girl I was dating and TOTALLY obsessed with so that we could have "family time".....in front of the tv. I wound up running away twice, as they don't respond well to logical discussion.

I'm not sure how to handle it, as only you know your parents well enough to tell, but they really need to grow up. Considering friends "unhealthy" to hang out with just because of their sexuality is not only incorrect and abhorrent, it's unhealthy for your parents. It's bigotry at its worst.

You're at an age where your parents' stranglehold on you has to end sooner or later if you want to be a healthy, social, non-traumatised adult. It's a sticky situation, I won't even try to soften that... but the more gradual you can make your liberation, the better. I'm sure there are many factors in play; for me it was my older brother who didn't live up to their expectations and got disowned by them, so they turned all their focus on me. Always remember, though: you've got limits to how much crap you can take--and so do they.

*hugs* good luck. If you ever need somebody to talk to, just let me know. I'm not big on posting my phone number in online journals though... ;)

*nod* You think a gradual extraction might be less painful? In some ways I'm tempted to just cut the apron strings all at once and go live on my own, but I couldn't bear to hurt them like that. I guess the shock would be too much, but at least it wouldn't be a long and drawn-out process.

Anyway, sorry I haven't been around much, but I've been reading through the happenings in your journal. You're such a sweetie. *hugs* Thank you.

No worries hon, I understand. *hug*

When it came to coming out to my parents, I too thought about just cutting them off entirely, but it's just not the right thing to do... and no matter how much it seems like you want to, for me, at least, I can feel that I wouldn't really be happier not having them in my life at all.

Your parents will start to get the idea though. Just be confident in yourself, be strongly assertive, but be just compassionate enough to know when crossing the line any further will do more harm than good. That's my policy. :)

*nod* That's a good approach. I'm just not sure if they're ready for it yet, y'know?
