Things like this have been happening a lot but only just recently they've gotten much worse. I don't know why but mums has little to no trust in me, Pa just comes home from work and watches TV and still expects me to know all about him when he can't even remember how old I am, and my older sister (The other adult in the house) always goes with what they say whether she believes it or not. Now to elaborate: Mums thinks that whenever I get on the computer I'm going to the dirtiest sites you can think of and giving out all my information. And that's even after I showed her all that I do on the computer and how safe it is! She accuses me of not liking anything she fixes because one time when I was sick, she accidentaly burnt our meal for that day a little and I wasn't eating that much. And just this morning she got mad at me cause I said I had made friends on CAA and accused me of not wanting to be a part of my family any more. Now for my dad. He goes to work at about 6:00 AM and comes home at about that same time at night, plops down on his chair, watches television and EXPECTS US TO KNOW AND WANT TO DO EVERYTHING HE LIKES! On top of that he keeps forgetting how old we are, what days our birthdays are on and sometimes even our names. And my older sister (Who is given just as much authority in my house as my parents are) agrees with whatever they say then turns around and tells me she doesn't like it much but that we're both just gonna hafta deal with it. Plus there's this severe case of do as I say not as I do around here... I need help getting through this.

Be praying for you friend. I'm also gonna to pray that your parents learn to understand you more and a healing of relationship because it looks like you are more just "co-existing" with your family. Good Luck with the sitch and God Bless.

Robin,

I grew up in that type of family..very neglectful it is.....I would suggest holding on to truth ... really holding on to it and if you feel you can...stand up to your family (I know that is hypocritical as I can't do it myself) but i think its good all the same....

As I said hold on to real Truth and not what they are telling you....

I'll be praying *hugs

Thanks guys... I really wish I could stand up to them but that only leads to me getting punished... A lot... which is another problem. But anyway, thanks for caring enough to pray for me.

I can't stay on long, so I can't say as much as I'd like, but I know a bit of what you're going through man, it feels like my whole family (including extended) has be en like that my whole life. If you use any messengers like AIM (I use AIM, MSN, and YIM) I'm around if you want to talk to someone, and can do so without being punished. Failing that, feel free to PM me.
