Worst Family Ever!

Posted : 6/11/2006 6:54:43 PM

OMG, my family has been fighting non-stop all day. First it was my 17-year old brother fighting with my mom for a couple hours then it was my 19-year old brother fighting with my 20-year old sister. Now it's my 17-year old brother fighting with my mom again! What the heck, makes me really angry. You guys are right, I should not bring a dog into this family, no pet, no creature should be in this family. I can't wait until I move out. My family is so stupid, none, none of them know when to just shut up and drop it. They just go on and on and on. My decision is final and 100% sure that I'm going to wait til I move out to get a dog. No dog deserves this family.

oh boy, getting violent now. My brother just told my mom to "shut the f*** up". One example of how stupid my family is. God, I wish I could just leave now. Move to Alaska and lose all contact with my family. Such . . . dumbasses.

Not that any of you care, but just want to thank you all for opening my eyes and suggesting not to get a dog til i move out. thanks.

If your brother is abusive ("getting violent"), someone should call the authorities. This doesn't sound like a positive environment for you either, and I'm sorry you have to endure that. To be honest, it doesn't sound like a great environment for a dog - or for you.

It's not getting physical, rarely does, but it does sometimes. I do believe the cops should have been called on this family dozens of times.

True, it's not a good enviroment for any living creature, that's why I want out ASAP.

If it gets physical you need to call the cops! Especially if it is directed at you. Please keep yourself safe - there are people who will help you if you need it.

I'll be sure to call the cops if it does, though it's rare but too often, it shouldn't even happen. Yup, I find comfort watching these fox videos that I found though [

This really stinks, and I'm sorry you're having to deal with it. Now please do yourself a favor and go back and edit out the vulgarity so you don't get in trouble with the administration for it. Yeah, I know, I sound like an old fart, but.......................

Im sorry you have to deal with your family like this... its not a good environment for you, at least you do have plans to get away from it when you can. Im also glad you decided to wait on the dog, he/she would enjoy a much more peacful home than it sounds like you have now. Good luck dealing with it until you can change it.

I know you're only repeating what your dorky brother said. And even tho I'm probably older than your mother, I can still make a drunken sailor blush when I'm mad enough.....but, I dont' want you to get scolded for the language...theres a time and place for everything, and this is a real case of it shouldn't matter what you posted....but the rules have to exist or there would be a ton of stuff that shouldn't be said here.

I wonder if maybe your Mom would consider family counseling? Sounds like she is really overwhelmed with everything that's been going on, and I suspect your siblings are taking advantage of that and making her life, and yours extemely unpleasant.

I really feel for you having to deal with all this crap.

yeah, hopefully i can get out of here as soon as i can. The money that i was saving up for a dog will go towards downpayment on a car or something that will get me out of here. I can only count the days. I'll try to get a job soon and hopefully save up a couple thousand dollars for when I'm eighteen. I really don't want to buy anything, except my own computer but that can wait too, so I should be able to save up my money.

Oh sorry, did i leave something vulgar in there? I thought i got it, I'll have to check. thanks for pointing it out [

].

All 'we' (i.e. my sibilings and my mom) may need family counseling they'd be in what we like to call 'denial.' They'd either refuse or get upset over the suggestion.

My mom never disciplined us so that's why my other sibilings don't respect her. However, I know to be smarter than that. I self-taught basically all the major 'life-lessons' through experience and constant thought. My mind is so restless, constantly thinking of something important, that's why it's hard for me to focus in school and such. Also forums, like this one, help me out a lot.

So, I'd like to thank you all for the support and advice.

How old are you ?
Do you have a church or community help center for situations like this ?
School counsler ?

I would say to talk with your mom, when things are calmer and discuss family therapy.

Good luck to you, no one should have to go through this type of verbal bashing.

I'm sixteen, we haven't gone to any church for several months (don't know why, just proves how lazy my family is) and I just recently transferred schools and got out on the seventh. So really no help for me except isolation is what I find best.

Oh boy, do we need it. My family is too . . . 'proud' of whatever they clench onto to even think about therapy. Maybe I should just call a therapist and ask (gosh, I'm getting kinda emotional just typing this) him/her to come over on a surprise visit.
