moan - dad

So im sure that most of you know I had a fight with my parents about 8 months ago, perhaps more. I havent spoken to my parents in that long and i only see my sister at school. It got so bad that immediately after, my parents refused to talk to anyone who helped me out - eg I moved to my grandads and for 3 months they never saw or spoke to her.

I have sent an apology and heard nothing back of it. Shes sent some spiteful messages to me and the like though. Also she mailed me my baby photos...

Moving on, Im at work tonight. I see my dad, whos walkign out the shop with a pharmacy bag - He walks right past me at me till. I nod at him and say Hello..nice and loud - even the person at the kiosk (further away than my father) heard it. He continues walking, without even so much as turning his head to say hello, or awknowledging me :frown:

Several oddities. There are plenty of other pharmacies around the area, and my dad never comes to safeways one. He knows i work there and the days i work...odd, no? What makes it worse is that the main fued is between me and my mother. she is the dominant one and He is on the leash - her pet, almost. shes spiteful and petty, and hes weak minded. Hes never bothered to contact me even though i had no actal fued with him at all...

Its just **** and I dont know what to do. Is there any hope for a relationship again with my parents..at all? What can I do? I cant keep this up. Im pretending that everythings fine and dandy. Ive only ever said this here..now to a bunch of peopel ill never know. My school work isnt done at all im falling so far behind that its become v difficult to catch abck up. I darnt go out because my self esteems been knocked to pieces. I cant keep a girlfriend because i fear that they are all like *her*, and I dont want to be hurt the way they are hurting me... I hav no relationships at all... Im pretty distant from my friends.. im not usually invited out with them or anything so perhaps i should use friends in qupte marks

Help me...

Awww :hugs: I had tears in my eyes reading that :frown: You sound like you really want to make a go of things, yet no matter what you do, you can't get through to them.

I guess, if I was in your situation, and I'm not so I can't say I completely understand how you feel hun, I'd try and make way through your sister. You say you see her at school, does she talk to you? Can't you ask her to maybe talk to them? Or even get your Dad to talk to you in Safeways? Maybe just go to your house and knock on the door, and if they slam it in your face, just sit on the step...so everyone can see how they're treating you. They might be so embaressed at their behaviour in front of the neighbours, that they invite you in, then at least you have a foot in the door (literally).

Also you say you're really behind with school work, could you talk to a teacher that you trust and explain things? Maybe they could ring your parents and have a word?

I wish I could help more, but I don't know what else to suggest. I'll have a think though, and see if I can come up with any better advice, but for now, please don't lose hope, maybe with Christmas coming up, and it being family time and all that, they might mellow? Big hugs :hugs:

Mr_JR isn't shallow :mad: Can't you see he's upset? Your comments really don't help, if you have nothing useful to say, then don't bother saying anything at all :mad: :mad: :mad:

Note to Mr_JR: Ignore mynameis

Before I reply to you, I would like to remind you that I dont make emotional posts...normally.
[1] No, it doesnt
[2] Where do you get the impression I am shallow? Surely, taking this thread by itself, its pretty deeply emotional. I *am* confused and I *am* hurt. Im sure that in your perfect life you dont have the lttle inconveniences like being completely excommunicated from your cloe family. Or is that but a shallow, minor worry of mine?
[3] Surely, if youve read the post, it IS already out of hand
[4] 8 months have passed, as Ive already said... hardly a Quickly solved problem
[5] And no wrongs been done to me either. Of course, begging like the dog I no doubt percieved as would really be worth my while. If I cannot communicate on a basic human level then why commincate at all?

Oh right, so someone agrees with you...you *must* be right then. Obviously.

The very fact that the first words that YOU used were 'I know it doesn't help' shows you knew you weren't going to say anything useful.

and i would like to add... this is an emotional release. I dont expect to have to defend myself to you, mynameis. If you want to have a dig at me, have some decency and go and have a jibe at any other post. For the best part of my posts, Who I am on TSR is different to who I am in real life...and, like george and martha, keeping it detatched is beneficial. I can deal with what you have to say but not when im open...

well.. moving out from your parents after a fight ? thats not shallow ? parents whom you owe so much to ?

getting worse every minute
[4] 8 months have passed, as Ive already said... hardly a Quickly solved problem
again, getting worse every minute
[5] And no wrongs been done to me either. Of course, begging like the dog I no doubt percieved as would really be worth my while. If I cannot communicate on a basic human level then why commincate at all?
now, thats just an excuse.

im sure they regret what had happended and want to get back with you as soon as possible.

are you seriously saying you did your best ??

some suggestions - letter, friends, priest, teacher, social worker, even police ?

Eh? how is that shallow?

Mr_Jr is obviously coming to terms with a very tough, emotional situation and im sure silly comments arnt really helping him.

mynameis, you're not helping at all, it seems you're going out of your way to make things more difficult for Mr_JR so I would suggest you refrain from posting anymore, obviously its your choice, but I can't think of any person who would carry on, knowing they're clearly upsetting someone.
