My dominant emotion right now is curiosity.

How is all of this going to turn out? Is he going to rise to the challenge? What is the challenge, exactly? He's defining the terms on this, so I have no idea what to expect. Will he cop out and give up? Is this essentially a break up? Or is he going to turn this into something that will finally

the plan

[prantifico]

1. self-control and self-discipline
->with this i will have both the ability and facilities and the right to stand up against the negative/destructive things that my parents think/believe/do. what stops me now is i don't have the right because i myself don't feel im developed enough
2. rebuild the friendship
->by expanding my base of pursued interests to include those things that both chels and i like
3. rebuild the relationship
->honestly, we have time. i see value in this. i like value...a lot (i work for longest uptime on cheapest hardware using excellent software...not that i'd employ cheap hardware in this relationship)
->we will work to the point where our friendship is strong, fluid, and natural and then the relationship will follow accordingly

1) You always, always, always have the ability AND THE RIGHT to stand up against ANY negative or destructive things your parents (or anyone else) think, believe, or do. Don't use your "lack" of self-control or discipline as a shield or an excuse instead of standing up for yourself, particularly against something destructive -- you'll never gain any self control, self respect, or self discipline that way. Shutting up and going along with things has absolutely nothing to do with self-discipline and everything to do with being a wet noodle
