Nothing but hatred....

KingIsaacLinksr · May 05, 2008, 08:35:07 PM

Returned home and I've been getting nothing but....(word that isn't appropriate to Treksf.com). I don't know how to deal with it anymore. I'm currently at odds with my parents and brothers and thus cannot participate in the RPG. I hate it but they can't seem to understand my plight. They seem to hate me even being on the laptop and with this current war, I can't concentrate on the RPG, thus my participating has all but died and I'm behind. I don't know what to do...I'm so sick of it....

I don't know why I even posted, guess I need to vent somewhere....

I'm so sorry King. If you need to take a break... you can always do that. We'll keep your character in the story until you're able to come back. Maybe you should just take it easy for a while and try to get your life together. That's always more important than whatever goes on on these boards. ;) What we write isn't as important as your real life. You could always PM us if you need to talk.
All the best Tim.

Sorry about the rough situation you're facing, man. Like Jen said, taking care of Real Life takes precedent over an internet forum. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on what you are experiencing, but I'm sure that you guys will make it past this. Your returning home from school to regroup will probably take some getting used to by your parents; just give them time. I'm sure that their actions aren't coming from anger at you, but from concern. Like all parents, they just want what's best for you.

Keep strong, man.

Good Luck, we'll miss you. Take care of yourself, and we all wish you the very best in regards to your family and schooling.

Take care of your self and all else will fall into place. If you are stressed and rushing your posts, you would not even be happy with what you contribute to the RPG anyways. First things first. Come back when all is well and it will be fun again... After all that is what it is meant to be, fun.

You will always be welcome here.

Hey Tim,

I'm praying for you. PM me if you need to talk.

Love,

Rick

I'm sorry for your issues Tim. Being a parent of someone in college I can understand the situation. It can be a difficult time. Everyone needs to listen to each other. But the decisions are frankly mainly yours. I have tried very hard to just guide my two sons and let them find their own path over the years. That's not to say I don't try and give them advice and sometimes a nudge here or there.

It can be a very difficult thing but communication and everyone sitting down and talking things out is really the only way. Hang in there. Things will get better.

Sorry to hear that things are tense in your household right now. I certainly know how you are feeling, as when I was your age, I had my struggles with school and life. After a less then successful run in High school, and failing out of my first attempt at a post secondary education, my parents were really upset with me. There was a period of about 6 months where I did not much of anything besides sit in my parents basement, and watched TV. I would have to live with daily lectures on how I need to get out and find a job, and how I should have done better in school, and questions on what I was doing with my life. But like Eric indicated, it was more out of concern, then anger. Hopefully the difficult times pass for you, and that you are able to find what you want in your life, and that things will get better between you and your family. They want whats best for you, and probably just showing some tough love, which at times is hard to take.
I know it is tough to be creative when you have stress in your life. I know for me, I would like to do RPG, but with my job and the stress and hours I have to work, it has drained me of my creativity, so anything I post would be subpar. I am sure you will rebound, like everyone says, just take some time away from things, and get your life sorted out, then everything will fall into place again.

Tim, believe it or not, when I decided not to go to college right after high school, my father and I had a bitter turn to an already tense relationship.

It wasn't until about 5 or six years ago that I matured enough to understand his POV and even if I didn't agree with it, it put us in a much better place. Each week, we spend hours on the phone just talking. I talk to him more than I did when we lived together.

When I was your age, my father couldn't quite accept that I was adult enough to make not just my own choice, but the choices that were right for me.

It will get better and if you need anyone to talk to, I'm sure you have a lot of people on the forum, including me, who wouldn't mind being there to lend you a shoulder.

My dad seems more forgiving...but my mother has just been at-odds with me since the end of high-school. I don't know why. Hopefully I can leave the house soon, I think that will be best for everyone.

Thanks guys, I know I vent once-in-a-while, but I'm just tired of this tension.
