Now I remember the days on the other forum I'm on where I'd get roped into legit discussions about having a meet up between members. In particular, there was one member of the site I got really close to (as in, she was closer to me than my own family, and most of my IRL friends), and she talked to me on multiple occasions and meeting up, and how talking to me got her interested in visiting Ireland in general.
.....Uuuugh, but I'd rather not talk about her, and I'm trying to do away with thinking about her, as hard as it is.
Regarding family, I have very bi-polar experiences within the family. Sometimes we are pretty chill, mostly we are distant but with no major conflicts going on, but unfortunately, the many times where things have gotten bad, they have gotten real bad, and it's happened far too many times, to the point where it has overshadowed the good times.
Just last month, my brother blew up over something stupid and attacked me, and began a long talk between him, my mother, and myself. Within that talk, I ended up confessing to my mother that I don't feel as if she actually "raised" me. Like, yes, she provided food for me and got me through school and what not. But I never did form a close relationship with my parents (except when I was very small, I was really close to my mother then). As a result, my parents never actually taught me much as a kid, and I pretty much dealt with all of my stress and emotional trauma on my own. Parents are supposed to be figures that teach you, and I never got much of that with my parents. Heck, I never even got the sex talk at all, my mother just gave me two books to read all about it when I was 11. When I was around 10 or 11, I also went through a particular experience that was a huge turning point in my life, and I realised that trying to make the typical happy family thing work was not going to happen, and I have been very independent since that night. It's why I consider myself a person without truly defined morals, because my parents didn't teach me a whole lot at all in that area.
And just as I'm posting about how I'm not close to my family, my brother and sister begin arguing with each other, screaming, shouting, and cursing. :I

Re: Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day.
Hm, yeah, distance is a problem in such relationships. If I were to enter one I'm not sure how I'd tell my parents that I met someone on the web and want to go and meet them. Especially not because I prefer to keep my online social interaction completely private from them. I think they'd let me actually if I'd show them I'm serious enough about it but they'd probably go as far as to ask for this persons eMail and message them with questions. 
Wouldn't let them hold me back though. I don't at all plan to live in my own country and most highly likely not in the US (Certainly not Texas anymore) and I know how they think about that. And my parents also believe that online friends aren't "real" friends agh. Ironically my mother has a very strong online friendship.
My parents don't do much of what you say yours lack but I do know both do care for me a lot and there's not much to criticize about their parenting honestly. I do wish our relationship was a little more, well, close isn't really the word for it because I'm fine around them. It's just that if something is on my mind I don't really share it with them. I don't really talk much with my father and my mother, I talk to her plenty every day, but she's too overprotective and has this believe that I'm fragile or something. It bothers me quite a bit but she means well so I don't want to get angry over it either. I'd just be nice if she understood that I simply enjoy taking an occasional walk with some music and don't wander around being depressed or some shit. But besides their flaws their great people and even my brother I imagine I will keep decent contact with once he moves out. But I do know that when I'm at the age I'm curious to see if they'll let me go to Dallas once I get my drivers license (16 of age in the US. I may get my license at the end of next year).

Re: Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day.
The opposite of me ahah. I just told them straight like that that I wanted to meet them and they were just like "okay" not giving a single crap.Keane wrote:Hm, yeah, distance is a problem in such relationships.

Can't count on them to help with that, nope. I live pretty close to one of my friend in the US though, just 16 hours in car away, that's just 6 hours more than we usually do to go in vacation.-

Re: Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day.
@Keane: Not that I'm saying you picked up my post in this way, but JUST in case people get the wrong idea on these two things:
-The girl I referred to who discussed meeting up in detail - I wasn't in a relationship with her...not officially, anyway. It's really complicated. She's a part of my life I want to avoid and escape and forget right now. I tell people IRL to not mention her, it goes that far. When people try to bring her up, I usually just tell them to be quiet, and do not allow them to talk to me about her. It doesn't help that she may possibly be trying to get back into my life. It's way too early for her to do that. I'm not ready to speak to her again.
-I don't think my parents are bad parents. If I did, then my mother would of been livid when I said what I did not too long ago. She was actually very understanding of what I meant, and merely felt a little sad in realising that what I said was completely true.
My lack of actual mother and father figures is due in part to my mother having to go to work so much, and also because of so many complicated and negative issues happening over the course of my family life, that even when I was merely 11 years old, I basically had to tell myself that "I'm not a kid, I actually have a lot of adult responsibilities". Because of that, I dealt with a lot of these things by myself (it was hard to vent to friends because of certain things, like having to move multiple times. And I eventually became the kind of person who feels they need to do as much as possible by them self in order to become stronger. I'd rather be reliable than reliant). And I still do so today.
Things have been more peaceful lately though. Got a few people out of my life, who I don't plan on talking to for a while.

I think I would actually have a better chance if it's a further distance because my father probably doesn't wanna drive me a 5 - 6 hour distance so I can meet two buddies. I'd probably have to pay quite a portion of the money myself if I wanna go with a plane though. I'm just glad it's not completely impossible for me even if it comes with some difficulties.ZeptoRay wrote:The opposite of me ahah.

It is not too late. The potatoes offer you a cave to hide in until the year 2030. Until that time you stay there and comfort yourself with happy thoughts about potato.ZeptoRay wrote:Please kill me already, I am a monster in the future, I should no longer live on this planet I am a disappointment of potato.Keane wrote:I have spoken with the Wise Potato.ZeptoRay wrote:I would never do such thing to potato!
