you know,i shell give you this:

[Ra]

Gee, you're a violent soul, aren't you?

[Katie]

I betcha if we stop feeding it it will go away


Suppose we can get locked up for animal cruelty for that?

[Ra]

Not if we destroy the evidence before we get caught...

[Katie]

*pulls out the shovel and gasoline*

[Ra]

Oh yeah, now we're talking!

Well, before we get too carried away, I'd better vent...

Okay. My mum has hurt her back. How badly, I'm not sure. My parents now want me to do more work around the house and that. I understand and I try and help out...but...they seem to think I'm a spoiled brat for some reason. They say that I don't want to help out when I clearly try, and they keep on yelling at me whenever I do something wrong. They also try and analyze me at dinner...picking out all of my faults and then trying to act all superior about it. I'm also extremely emotional ever since I got away from my exam period. I usually just brake down whenever my parents finish yelling at me or something. I...I'm just at a loss.

I snapped at them yesterday when they started to pick me apart again and just told them bluntly that I'm sick of it. I'm sure that my message has struck home, since today hasn't been bad at all...but I'm still feeling terrible about it. I have no idea what I can do to improve the situation either...

[Katie]

eesh. Hurt backs are no fun. My friend from back home threw hers out (two herniated discs) when she was trying topick her baby up. laid on the floor for two hours until her husband got home. he left his cell phone apparently.

and about your parents picking you apart. welcome to adulthood. I'd say it will get better, but in my case it seems to have beena calculated preparation for getting my brother and I to leave the nest. It started when I was 18 and he was 17 and progressed til one day....on the same day...we both left home. Glorious day. I was 20. I was on my own. Have been ever since. No room mate....no live ins...no nothing. There's nothing better

Nothing makes a good relationship with your parents (and siblings) like being able to go to your own place after a visit


(this however does not meen the nagging and picking stops.....you can just choose to not answer the phone now )

WHAT?0xo
you mean that's considered as a violence?!

[Ra]

Well...I consider it violence. It's just the way I read it. I doubt that I'm the only one...

Really? Lovely...the joys of adulthood...

My mum has nearly stopped doing it now, which is good. But my dad won't back down. Apparently he's doing the same thing with my mum as well, which puts me at ease knowing that I'm not the only one. Thankfully tomorrow I'm going shopping with my mum so then we can get away from him for awhile. I think we just need some time to ourselves, really.

[syd]

you are kidding me.

[Ra]

No, not really...I wish I was...

My old man was like that, always thought he was right and would never accept anything else. Plus he never had anything ever positive to say, no thanks for any work you did for him, never wanted to hear any of your problems or give you any advice, never wanted to help you with school work, never even took me out for a kick with the footy or a for a hit of cricket. All he ever did was yell constantly, throwing little kiddie tantrums and take things out on Mum and us kids when things didn't go his way. What annoyed me the most though was constantly being told to shut up because the TV was more important to listen to than anything i ever had to say.


I left home as soon as I finished year 12 at the age of 17 and rented my brothers bungalow. Got a job and scabbed rides to work until I saved enough money to buy a car. Then I moved to another town for a better job and haven't looked back. Although my Dad was an arsehole to me as a kid he is also now pretty ill. And the odd thing, i'm starting to feel more and more sorry for my Dad as his health deteriorates and every time I visit it's like he's 10 years older. He can't concentrate on things anymore, he's very forgetful, confused and he doesn't even have the energy to yell. He's even actually nice to us kids and is glad to see us when we visit. But still I'm not sure if anything he ever can do now will ever make up for the scarred childhood I had to endure because of him, and the sad thing is he's come to realise that as well and trys to make up for it, guess theres nothing like trying to repent on deaths bed.

But anyway the point I was trying to make before i went off track with my life story is that things are definitely a lot better when you leave home and your realqtionship with your parents improves tenfold.

[syd]

yes!as they say:absence makes the heart fonder.
i didn't screw that idiom did i?(did i,Fledermaus?)i'm scared.

[Swany]

I'm making an appointment to see my nurse. I'm 45 days late and its been 103 days since my last.

And yeah, I'm trying to be vague 'cause I'm pretty embaressed. But I'm mostly worried.

Sorry if I've made anyone feel awkward.

[Katie]

chick talk....nothing to see here

Spoiler:

Don't worry, Swany, It's pretty common. Good Idea to get checked out...but it's common. When I was new in college I went 6 months without because I was so freaking stressed out. Lotsa things like that affect our girly ways. Diet....stress.....weight loss or gain......hormone imbalances....intimate partners and the frequency of sex.

Sometimes it can be something that requires intervention, but most of the time it's nothing

Now I will give you a laugh. I used to get false pregnancy due to my wierded out hormones. Morning sickness, tenderness in places, skipped cycles...false positives on pregnancy tests...the whole nine yards. (Bless Birth Control Pills and the man who invented them for they have normalized my life. ) You've never seen any thing so funny as me not sharing my little condition with one of my exes, who I was getting ready to dump because he was the king of insensitive jerks and not worthy of my time. I played it up knowing full well I was not pregnant, and not saying a word to him. I never saw a guy sweat so much in my life until he got the nerve to ask me what was going on. Stupid idiot had so many girlfriends on the side he couldn't remember that he never had sex with me during our whole relationship. Couldn't keep his women straight. Stupid idiot

you'll be fine

[Jo Dawn]

Indeed, Swany, nothing to worry about at all.

Though I've never been lucky enough to

Spoiler:

ever skip in my LIFE, no matter what... And was entirely sick and bent over in pain for two and a half weeks out of the month. Until these beautiful, beautiful pills...
