Great idea for a board!!
Britney i hope that things get better for you because that is not right.
i have gone through a lot of shit in my 15 years of life. my mom has lied to me ever since i was really little, she used to (idk if she still does) do drugs and hide it....and i mean hardcore drugs. my dad i never really had a problem with. but i was tired of my mom never really paying attention to me and my sister. she was cheating on my dad for who knows how long with this abusive guy who scared the crap out of me. him and my mom would always go to a bar, and he was an aggressive drunk. he would hurt her a lot, and i got scared because i thought he was going to hurt her really bad. i was always caught in the middle of it. this is why im happy my parents are divored. every time my mom got "mad" at John (the guy) she would stop talking to him, and send hiom letters saying that that was it, and shed never see him again. later, they just got back in the same routine. now that my mom lives in Arizona (because my parents got divorced years ago) that cant happen.
Also, i havent seen my mom since last summer....for some reason i have never been able to get over the divorce yet because i really do miss her. it feels wierd having to be raised by my dad. i basically do everything on my own though. i dont like to be having to do a lot of things on my own, but i am glad that my dad is at least here. since my mom lives so far away, and she lives alone, im scared for her that something will happen to her, because she does have some medical problems.
The night that my parents fought, before the divorce, i thought that i could have stopped it. i was at my best friends house and my sister called and told me that my mom punched my dad in the lip and he had to go to the emergency room. she got a restraining order. my sister said that they started arguing abotu something and my mom went into his room and thats where it happened. i still think, til this day, that i could have stopped it from happening and evern though they never really talked during thir marriage, they could still be together.
I never like to talk about things with my dad because i feel wierd talking to my family abou tthings. i have never been able to tell my dad, mom, or sister things for some reason. thats why i love the friends i have. i do actually feel closer to other people's families than my own. i can tell my friends and their parents things but i cant tell my dad or mom things. its wierd, but i donno why.
well i could write more but its already long enough.
