Why click on a post if you don't even want to take the effort to read it? This isn't english class not everyone is actually trying to exercise creative writing skills when they're pouring their heart out on a message board. If you're not going to respond about the topic at hand then you obviously don't care about it. Don't say anything at all then. And no thats not something my parents would say. Thats something I would say. Because it's true. If people don't care to make the effort they really didn't give a shit to begin with. It's not like it's all THAT hard. My job is to post, your job is to reply to the topic.

You're right though. I do need to just get out. In truth I haven't made as many excuses as I've led you to believe I have. Most of the stuff I say is true. In truth if I could have left by now...I would have. Point is if I did I'd have nothing and might not even have anywhere to go. It's a lot for anyone to give up. And not knowing what tommorow brings is scary. Also I stay for my mother as well. But she's begining to make it clear to me that the only reason she stays is for me as well.

But I can't help but think there must be a whole bunch of other people who've done it and are over it now. My father always makes random comments like "Ya know when you leave you won't be able to afford food like this right?" I'm like "Of course I won't. No one can when they first leave home."

I do get along better with my dad when I don't see him every day..or for several days at a time. My mom misses me though and calls me up every day just to talk. Then I kinda feel bad haha. Hopefully I'll be back in college this semester so I can get on my way to getting away.

Just getting in the first time had it's pains. I had to take my ACT in another town..and not like the next town over..like 2 or 3 towns over. Which I thought was bullshit cause I'm sure people were taking it where I lived at the time. My mom had to take me. She drove me nuts. She did NOT want to take me to take it. We get on the road and it starts raining so she freaks out and starts crying because she thinks shes gonna wreck, or get lost, or blah blah blah "I can't do it!" mentality that she ALWAYS has. She's very pessimistic(sp?). Two 18 wheelers passed us and she gets on the phone crying that theres 18 wheelers every where and she's scared of them. I got frustrated. She was just sitting there giving it to me "I don't see why you have to go?! I can't do this! I'm gonna get into a wreck! etc." I couldn't take it any more I had to yell at her. I was like "This is my future mom! I have to go to college! I need to take this test!" I couldn't believe that I had already paid for this test, I HAD to take it then or else I wouldn't be able to get in that semester and she did NOT want to drive any further.

Of course we made it to Ricardo just fine..I think it was Ricardo. I even saw my little cousin there taking the test which was weird. I took the test, I barely passed it and got it out of the way. I think I bombed the math because I always do. Especially since it's timed. That just adds added pressure to an already stressful morning. I would have failed it regardless though. I'm just bad at math...well at least when I haven't done it in a long time I am. I need a few classes to get back into things..remember the formulas and then it's pretty easy for me but they don't go over most of that stuff ever again. I'm just thankful I passed it. Well I appreciate the comments about my situation I'd like to see more parents responding with whether or not they apply the golden rule to their parenting though.

Asta!!
