Leaving..

[ScantyNebula]

Glad to hear you aren't leaving -- sounds like you need somewhere to go to vent! This place is just perfect!

About the father situation ... Think about it the other way around ... Imagine if you had a kid and they cussed on you and told you they hate you? A bit harsh I think .. BUT that didn't give your father the right to hit you - thats just wrong. I made my dad really mad at me a few times while growing up, but not once did he hit me. Just watch what you say next time - no matter how hard! It will only make things worse ..

Oh, gosh, that's horrible. I feel so bad I'm not sure what words to use. I'm glad you're staying, we all care so much about you.

I know how hard it is to be a teen (hey, I am one you know). I hate school (I just started a new one and don't really have many friends), but it's getting better because I have made some really great friends. My animals are practialy the only things that keep me going. Sometimes I just want to scream, and leave, but I don't have anywhere to go. Sometimes I want to die even, but then I cry it out and feel a little better.

Please PM me, IM me (my name is racinbarrels100 ) e-mail me, something, I would love to talk to you about 'stuff'

Don't say stuff like that ... I just hate to hear that . No matter how bad things get, in time things will eventually get twice as better Just keep dreaming of the day when you get to move out of your parents house and live on your own - I was so happy when that day came!

Thanks Scanty Nebula It's just that things are so hard for me with school and people. And my parents are divorced (pretty recently) and they hate eachother, and...... I find myself crying more and more often.....

I understand ... just keep in mind that it is only temporary. Who ever said life was easy? The important thing is to keep dreaming and planning a future for yourself

Foam--

I truly know how you feel. My parents are the same way sometimes and I also have wanted to die. Even when I see animals being mistreated I just want to leave this planet so I don't have to deal with seeing it or hearing about. I've had a bottle of asprin in my hand and a few times I've thought about it, but then Abby appears next to me and I change my mind. Just listen to me. Don't give up on anything. You're your own person and even though your dad has the right to tell you to do things, just hang out in your room and be your own person. Write in a journal or listen to music or something to take your mind off of things. Cry, whatever, but don't give up.

Hope ya have a better day... And remember, I'm here when you want to TALK to me... hint hint...

My parents divorced what seems to be like just yesterday but was a year ago. It's hard, but all of us kids new it was going to happen soon. I'd love to talk to you about it as I know how you feel.

Well, I just got done reading the entire thread. I'm so glad that everyone was here for you in your time of need & that you decided to stay. We'd really miss you around here!
Take care of yourself girl!

That's how I feel now. I hate being a teen, these are truly my hardest years of life I just want to leave sometimes(not PT). I think about dying, but I know I'd NEVER commit suicide. I just want to escape into my own world But then I think about Blueberry and what would happen if I was gone or whatever, and it makes me feel that life is worth living, and this will all be over soon. (hopefully) I just want to skip ahead maybe 8 years, and get out of school.

Same here. I sometimes feel like I don't belong. That I'm different then everyone in my family (well, not you guys. ) Even when im feeling really depressed, Daisy will come up to me and lay in my lap. Right then I know I couldn't just leave her, shes what keeps me going through hard times.

Oh, BTW thanks for that chat yesterday...you really cheered me up.

First off.
Foam, I am so sorry you are having a rough time. 12 doesn't last forever! You look like such a beautiful, strong, happy girl. Definatley talk to your mom or an aunt or someone. It certainly sounds like depression. And it might not hurt to visit your doctor. Just to talk.
Your father does not every need to hit you not even sometimes.
I believe in spanking but slapping is out of control. Yes he might have been hurt that you swore at him like that but retaliating by slapping you is immature and childlike. And certainly not an excuse. He might need anger management classes. And if he is convicted of child abuse he will get them. I never swore at my parents. I would not now either and I am almost 28 years old. If I ever ever ever used the "F bomb'' in front of my mom, hell hath no fury of what she would do. But if my dad ever ever ever would have hit me the way yours hit you, hell hath no fury either. Your mom should not be allowing this to continue, I wonder if he hits her too. ***don't answer that***
I certainly don't agree with threatening your parents with ' if you touch me I will call the cops' I think that is what is wrong with our society. Well at least part of it. The times I can remember getting spanked as a kid I certainly deserved it, but never ever ever was there a time that I was struck upside the head, slapped in the face, or hit with anything other than the designated paddle or yard stick.
Keep Darlin close to you. And hint to your mom that the way that your dad treats animals is also a sign of the way he treats people. I certainly am not accusing him of anything. Just an FYI.
My friend who I got Kylie off of gave her up b/c her now husband didn't like her and threw her across the room.
She totally disregarded everyone telling her that he was a known abuser and have been in jail for domestic violence. She went ahead and married him and I just hope and pray for her sake that he has changed like she thinks he has and isn't using her as a punching bag.
My dad and I have a very close relationship, I am a 'daddy's girl' no matter how old or big I get. It hurts me when I see things like this happening b/c I know how good it could be.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Feel free to IM me or PM me if you need anything.

I haven't been on in a while, and I just caught up on this thread. I'm glad to hear everything seems to get better, and I will continue to keep you in my thoughts. I'm so glad you decided to stay here though--Pet Talk is so theraputic!!!!

As for those of you with the divorced parents, I went through it, almost 20 years ago, and it still feels like last year. It was horrible, with the custody battles and everything, and my mother trying to bribe my sister and I. I have a great relationship with my father and stepmother now, and wouldn't trade it for anything.
Feel free to pm me if you just need to vent about it--believe me, I do understand.
