I just need to scream into the void for a bit

Remember when you were grounded? Yeah, no Internet, no phone, no going out, no videogames... no [i]life[/i]. No imagine if you had to live your whole life that way. That's what it's like for me, and I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm so bored and frustrated all the time, and there's nothing I can do to make it better. Anyways, if anybody from Discord sees this, yo and I hope I can be back in a year. Oh and mom, I know you constantly go through my stuff and will probably see this. You're afraid the Internet will push me away from you, but have you ever thought that being suffocating does the same thing?

  • Lower down you say you’re not grounded so - you are from the sixties. No internet, no personal phone and no video games. Apparently you have invented time travel. I am impressed. Don’t tell your mom.

          ....ah, the seperation process. Like you, I had a parent that struggled with boundaries. Unfortunately, you're going to have to fight with her (verbally of course) to try to set limits, and get her to honor them. Its going to be tough because people who are operating out of fear are difficult to reason with. At the end of the day, you have to remember that your parents are just people. Doing the best they can...and what they know...to get through their lives, and raise you to be an adult. Unfortunately "their best"....and what "they know"....isn't always going to be what you need at the time. Part of what growing up will mean for you is making peace with their limitations....and character flaws....as human beings. Where you can see them as a collection of good things...and not-so-good things. Appreciate the good...and forgive (when its appropriate) the not-so-good. Oh...and there is that matter of whatever it was that you did that got you grounded......

                  • Would you like to share why you were grounded and for how long? I’d say that you need a brake from the internet bc apparently that’s everything now, tik tok, Instagram etc and I don’t do that stuff bc I would like to keep my life outside the internet but the only reason I’m not saying “this is for the better” is bc it’s quarantine and there literally is nothing to do in terms of outside stuff so I get your frustration but still was there a valid reason for your temporary grounding?

                    • My stepmother was a lot like that with my siblings and now she's upset the ones that grew up and moved out want nothing to do with her. On top of that they're pretty messed up. One became just as much of an abusive control freak and the other became a submissive maid who washes her boyfriends feet. This is more for your mother who reads your stuff, but for you my only advice would be to gtfo as soon as you're legally old enough.

                      • “One must hold the flower gently, or else it may be crushed.” I have a parent like that; the only way I could handle it was to leave home at the first opportunity, because like you say it’s suffocating. I was angry and bitter about them for a long time throughout my teens and early 20s, and I blamed them for a lot of things I felt and experienced, but now i’ve mostly forgiven them because time and distance has let me reassess the situation. They’re just a person trying to do their best - like we all are. They had a very negative impact on me but it’s my job to learn and grow from that experience, not to continue to be bitter and angry; that won’t get either of us anywhere.

                        • i had parents like that and once i hit 18 they let up. you’ll be fine. you can argue that you’re an adult and your own person and they can’t screw with your life anymore
