The weekend has been a lot of fun, but I'm at a frustrating impasse with my parents right now that is killing my attitude.  There are two of them, and three cars in the driveway.  This is not difficult math.  But every time I want to go somewhere, be it the store or the gym or the doctor, I have to get permission and go through 20 questions before

"It's just hard to feel like an adult when I live under my parents' roof."

Yeah, I totally felt that way too. Over the same kinds of things. It seemed like it was hard for my mom to see me as an adult and not think of me as the teenager I was in high school.

I'm really glad to hear you're doing so much better, that therapy is so good. I agree about the noticing your bad ways of acting/reacting in your 20s; over the past year or so I finally noticed some of my own issues- how often I'd act passive/aggressively, or how I worked so hard to please other people without even thinking of what really wanted and then blamed others for my unhappiness, etc. Anyway, noticing that I was doing this, and where I learned this were hugely helpful for me, but then also made me kind of regret all the time I spent doing these things. But turning it around and saying, "at least I fixed this/am aware of this now, and now I have the rest of my life to be better," puts it in much better perspective.

Hope your hiking works out! :)

Applause for being the bigger much more understanding person!

One note though- I don't know where you read that the high is going to be 50 tomorrow. Monday's high is like 32 in Charlottesville (and the surrounding area) and presumably colder with any elevation. And the low tonight is going to be ~8.

Dress warm. :)

So your friend doesn't have a car?

Introspection is good, though. It's really a shame your *parents* aren't in therapy.
