Family! (IRL rant)

[Telaeth Everdark]

So maybe I'm just in a bit of a bad mood and want some sympathy, but.. does anyone else have problems like these?

Someone cooks dinner for everyone but you, even though they knew you would be home, they just .. forgot.

Someone locks all three dogs in your bedroom all day (with no water, no papers, nothing..and one of them a not-housetrained puppy) because (and this is the exact reason the person who did it said) "It was too much trouble to shut the gate and let them out."

Someone always parks at the end of the driveway so you, the last person home, cannot park behind them, with room for two cars in front, when asked says they'll move it or pull up next time and never does..

Someone lets your three year old niece into your room while you're gone. You find baby toys everywhere and your favorite plushies missing..

When asked to do something, you drop everything as soon as possible to go take care of it, (sometimes as long as 15 minutes!) but when you ask for someone else to do something (could you get your laundry out of the dryer? I gotta wash my clothes) you're told yes and then promptly forgotten.

Mail, which is picked up by someone else, doesn't make it to you for days, including messages from school and bills.

Messages are never passed along when someone calls, no matter what priority. (I mean, I can understand not finding out a friend said hi, but it's always nice to know the person I was supposed to pick up wasn't going to be there!)

Not just now and then.. all the time. =/

WTF? 4 more years of school until I can move out. *grumble* (age: 22)

/comfort

my first thought was that you were a neglected father.

my second thought was that you were perhaps an ignored and harrassed father.

then i see the school comment.

then i see the age comment.

my advice to you would be to forget waiting, and move out now. just leave.

because sometimes all you really CAN do ... is just go.

/comfort again.

Good god, yes. Right after my husband and i were married, we moved in with his parents, since his dad was sick, and his mom was working. I stayed home and took care of his dad, and a year down the road, our two babies.

I ended up on antidepressants thanks to my mother in law, which put me to sleep for 2 hours after i took them.

I STILL don't receieve messages, and it took us buying a house to find out that we owe over 10k in medical bills.. kept wondering why none ever showed up.. seems she has an entire locked filing cabinet filled with our mail from the 3 years we stayed there.

I survived those 3 years mostly on snack foods, since not once did she fix enough dinner me to eat, and i was NOT to cook in her kitchen.

I slept 2 hours, in evey 48 hour period, I was to be awake and caring for everyone the rest of the time, and was somehow supposed to get a job during all of this as well. Suffice it to say, I didn't have the energy.

While i never had a niece released in my bedroom, once i DID gather the energy to get a job, i had my two toddlers released in it (They were 1 and 2 at the time, 10.5 months apart). I came home from working a double shift, and went to lay down in my bed, only to find 3 dozen eggs and 2 glass bottles of Frappuccino broken under my blankets. THAT was fun.

I can completely sympathize with you dear.. and my suggestion would be the only thing that worked for me.. move out. Move out soon.

And btw, I just turned 23 this past July, and celebrated my 4th anniversary 4 days later =)

Something I had to learn...

you really CAN just go

move, get all your stuff, find someplace else. It will save your sanity.
