My Family if Crazier than Yours...

We all know that the grass is greener on the otherside and that everyone supposedly has the "weirdest family" but what makes your family unique that you want to divorce them?
For me, its the fact that they are making me drive 7 hours (1 way) to go to my sister's bridal shower (I'm a guy). I basically show up for lunch then leave. When I told my dad I didn't want to leave my place at 5am to come watch my sis eat lunch, he told me to be a man for once in my life.
Oh, and him and my mom tried to get me married in an arranged marriage.
So what have your parents done to you to scar you for life?

god you're like a cybernetic vulture
I really can't tell if that's intentional
That is a typographical error!
When I moved out she told me specifically "take your necromancy game with you" and pointed at Diablo 2.

And?
Also, your dad sounds pretty keen.

And inventing new racial slurs.
Maybe don't be such a pussy.
He's really not. He gets mad when I talk to white people*.
"Hey dad guess what, you moved to America. I'm probably gonna hang out with Whitey."
*He thinks white people all look alike.
What basis does he have for this nonsense? "They've been doing it for thoooousands of years!"
He also reads Deepak Chopra.
Uggghhhh.
And by family I mean me.
My me is rad.
They do.
My dad is the only one I keep in touch with at all though.
I did think of that but then I realized that I don't want to hear him be all "Why don't you love the family blah blah blah" when the wedding rolls around.
Besides, if I show up to this and him and my mom skippin out on my college graduation gives me ammunition I need for when I need money/for them to leave me alone.
Well, white people aren't really all that great.
Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you didn't actually say that to your dad.

my dad however is rad and let me live with him after i realized i had to do something or my life would go nowhere fast
Everyone's family wishes it were like mine.
I didn't. The conversation went something like this.
Me: Hey Mom and Dad, I don't think I want to get married to this girl. Like, I dont even know her and I want to work for a few years before I get settled.
Mom: What is wrong with you? This is your culture, blah blah.
Me: Well I'll get married eventually...
Dad: To an Indian?
Me: I dunno. Maybe
Dad and Mom: *Stopped talking to me for 6 months.*
"Fucking Mexican greaseballs, can't turn their goddamn bass down once in a while, Jesus fucking Christ."
Also, I was complaining the other day about one of those pain-in-the-ass-to-open plastic containers (it was a DualShock 2 controller), and he actually said the following:
"It was probably packaged in China. Sony's a Japanese company, but they probably package it in China, and they put it in those damn space containers to make it harder for Americans to open. You know how all those toys got recalled for toxic materials? Those Chinese are smart; they're trying to poison our youth ahead of time. No one thinks they think that far ahead, but they do."
Uh...yeah...
Was she attractive? This is important.

Sir there is not enough space on this forum.
But allow me to summarize a few, key points.
My mother is/was a drug addict who has been a compulsive lier her whole life and has tried to commit sucide in my presence not once, not twice, but 5 times. She cheated on my dad and fucked up my family credit so I cannot get a student loan and goto a good college. Oh and she hates me and tells me I suck all the time.
My dad is an anger freak who takes all his aggression out on me. Also he hates me and tells me I suck all the time.
Huzza family. I need a stiff drink.
"Ooohhh the Prime Minister doesn't want to upset the Jews or he'll get the axe!"
I don't get this reference but it sounds weeaboo
Viv I'm surprised by this.
I mean that in the sense that you're not from America, yet your Mom is cool enough for you to adopt more Americanized customs.
I envy that. Its pretty cool of her.
When I would stir in my crib too much at night he would wake me with a righteous beating to "Get the demons out" while shouting scripture at the top of his lungs.
Yeah I was like, two.

Man when you have lived the sort of life my family has lived, you kinda realize that you will never really be more "anything"-ized.
I don't mean to sound all abloobloo, but I honestly don't fit in anywhere. In China, I am a foreigner. In the States, I am more Chinese than anything. That sort of thing. My differences are highlighted in the fact that I am very able to integrate the "host culture" of the place I'm living without losing who I really am.
So I might seem more Americanized, but were I to actually live in the States, you would realize how unAmerican I actually am.
That said, my mom is fucking awesome and I would give anything to be half the woman she is.
Yes, even the women. It goes along nicely with their fully formed mustaches.
I'm going to the wedding thats in June. I don't feel spending 7 hours in a car going to the bridal shower to have lunch with her, just to drive 7 hours back here.
No matter how you spin it, its a fucking waste of time.
Pssh, trying to force an arranged marriage on you isn't crazy or weird, traditionally.
