I Am Treated Like a Child
Ugh!...
i will be 21 this year and i have a job and am going to college. I sing in my church choir, and my father still insists more from me to keep me out of trouble and in bed by 10 every night. on week nights my cerfew is 10 and on fridays it is midnight. i live with my aunt, his sister, and he comes over daily. I wish I could choose to do my homework because it is right, not because he says so. I could choose to take the consequences of going out late. i am told i need to eat, what i can and cannot have when i have my own money. They have "intervention," but i know that is just them telling me I'm grounded. 20 years old and they still take the car away, and my phone, which i pay for and continue paying for even if it is taken away for an entire month. It sucks i don't feel like an individual, I feel like an incapable 10 year old. They don't care about my choices or opinions if its different from theirs, it's not worth listening to. Dad tells me its bullshit and continues to bully me. I appreciate their advice when i need it, or their help, but i think they are taking it to a whole new level that is slowly driving me mad. I don't cuss around them, I don't talk about my boyfriend or work because i know they will have something negative to say, but they can say whatever they want. i think they believe i am a little kid that needs to hear these things, but its like verbal abuse and I just am going crazy! I am almost 21. Give me a break for once in my life.
