Wow, I certainly didn't expect to get this kind of response.

Jordan, hon, I had no idea that your homelife was so rough and really, I can't blame you for feeling the way you do. Please remember though, age changes a person. You will find that when you are in your late 20's or 30's you will be a totally different person. Your outlook on life will be different because of your experiences. You say you don't want to have children. Well, that's a personal choice. When I was your age, I made the same decision and stuck to it and have never regretted it. However, my decision was NOT based on my upbringing. It was based on the fact that I just didn't/don't like skinkids and I knew that I would not be a very good mother. Just because your homelife is not a happy one, doesn't mean that you can't provide a loving and happy home for your kids, should you choose that path.

Also Jordan, when you get older, you may decide to hook up with your Dad. I sure hope so. Right now, you are too young to make any permanent decisions. Big hugs to you and I can hardly wait to see you in July.
Thanks Vickie, your reply made me feel alot better. I'm glad to have a friend that cares so much about me. I certinaly hope things will get better as I get older.

Wolfsoul, I am so sorry that you had this recent experience with your Father. I can understand how this must have hurt you. Your poor Father..........he doesn't have a clue what he is missing in having a loving daughter. I wish that he could read this thread.
Thanks Gini. I'm not sure why my dad does the things he does. But I do love him and I hope he smartens up soon because I'd like to be around him more often.
