    THE SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEMS:

    Do you have a dryer, OR newspaper? You know, for when your mother in the bathroom and you gotta 'nate somewhere on the floor.

    Set your fucking house on fire and kill your mom and possible but unlikely siblings (they did have you) but not your dad.

    Go on dadventures until he gets tired of you and wind up in Florida.

    Drink until he abandons you, which is a likely course of action.

    Play banjo for cash and make jack vids for cash on the fly. Live off of subsistence ice cream.

    Now you fat and old in Florida playing the banjo. Go to Virginia. They like your kind. Talk about "the rough times" between the incomprehensibly sad slaps of vocal artillary that leave your Marlon Brando-esque jowels covered in calloused ice cream, you'll have the sad contentment of a life built off of a sad murder that happened in middle America that made you the person you are today.

    To ellucidate, this ends in you still living until an age where nanotech can make you immortal yet can't render the body's shape any differently

    Back when we were in college and not married, my wife had a jackass stepfather who was an alcoholic who was emotionally and verbally abusive, and was showing signs that he would soon cross over to physical abuse.

    One day, when he was gone at work, I borrowed my dad's truck, got help from a friend, and moved all her stuff out to my parents' place. When he got home, there was no sign that she lived there at all.

    I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

    ...or not

    My mom is currently in the other room, having some sort of psychotic breakdown while cursing my existence. She throwing stuff, smashing things, and she nearly punched me in the gut earlier. This all happened after my former-alcoholic aunt came over to try to make amends with my mother, as well as drop off a gift for my little sister. My mom, apparently convinced that this gift was actually some sort of insult to her, began screaming extremely rude and hurtful comments at her for the next half-hour. Tired of it, I walked out of the bomb shelter that had become my room, intending to calm my mother down and politely ask my aunt to leave, with the promise that I would have a more personal conversation with her later.

    Instead, my mother screamed in rage in the background while I listened to her twin tell me on and on about how sorry she was for the past couple years. After finally politely telling her that now was perhaps a bad time, I turned to my mom to face down one of the largest shitstorms I've seen from her in quite a while. Besides being repeatedly called a loser and told that I'll never amount to anything, I was also told that in her educated opinion, my sleeping disorder was self-induced, and that her constant anger was generally my fault.

    Fed up with listening to her tell me what a piece of shit I am, I walked back into my room, and locked the door.

    Though this tends to happen every few days, this is the first time I'm going out on a limb to ask anyone else

    What the fuck do I do?



    This could also be a general friend/family/whathaveyou venting thread, I suppose.

    oh boy get some liquor in my mom and that could be my house!

    my dad is fantastic and supportive, but refuses to let go of my brother (who is incapable of living on his own as a result) and often believes that money a). will fix any problem, or b). is the ultimate gift, and should be met with total compliance to whatever his wishes are. This is how he was raised, though, so I don't fault him too much for that.

    My mother is caring and loving, but also refuses to let go of my brother. She's using him as an excuse to remain a stay-at-home mom after her children grow up. How this has affected my brother is morally reprehensible on her part- he has suffered developmentally so that she can continue to watch soap operas. She's forgotten how to live in the real world.

    My mother kept putting off my brother getting his learners/license. Finally, as a gift, I paid for his drivers ed. still, she kept telling him not to worry about it, just wait, just wait. essentily doing the same thing as kazhiims parents, with the refusing to let go. around this time last year, he received his license. Five months later he dies in a car accident.

    Guess whose "fault" it was up until a month ago.
