how did that go?
yea, Im getting out more....but its still hard...like...we live out of town, so i cant really go anywhere....
well, last night my step-dad and i got into a fight...because my neice said i hit her...and i didnt....so i told him how i felt...lol
how did that go?
"You know the way a poem sometimes makes an absurd connectionThat's himLyrically professing his affection...""Never humour a fool for he will think he is a wise man"
kay...I now have time to type the whole story...
I was trying to get the girls to bed....(I had a slip-up) and the youngest began crying, and when I said enough is enough, she began SCREAMING....so my step-dad came out, and began accusing me, saying I hit her, while the kid was crying "she slapped me"....and I of course defended myself, and that was when he called ME a drama queen...so I said, "You are one as well." and he LOST it....and so it came spilling out how I did everything, while he sat in his room, and did nothing...and then I stormed out saying "some f*cking step-dad"...
the BEST part was...not even a minute later, he was on my heels, saying that he was sorry. It was good for us both, we both got a little stress off of our shoulders, and today...he did a bit of housework!!!!
It was nice. For once today, I felt like I wasnt the only one trying.
What is happening and thanks Sweedart for that question, is that he really saw you finally for you.
Why? because you are hearing us, and you finally stood up for yourself,
Don't back down now, but DO tell him how much you appreciated him listening and HIM helping.
That is a MUST...
If someone, listens, acknowledges and DOES, please, please say thank you and that you appreciate their support.
They will be there more often if you do.
Hiding and just "feeling" that was great, will result in them forgetting and never doing it again.
Say thanks "dad" or what ever you call him and that you appreciated finally some help.
Way to go a good step in the right direction,

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
yea, It was nice to feel that someone FINALLY heard me...
I was supposed to go to the doctors today....and I of course didnt make it...my mom had a bout of road rage, and well....I of course was late, and they cancelled my appointment.
dont forget to reschedule it as soon as possible.
and good for you, glad to see you spoke up!
What He Said.

well, I went to the docs...and I had to be medically withdrawn from school...
I reallllly messed up my back.

im not happy about that...and I know my dad will be disappointed.
But I had no choice...
I have a "bulged disc".
so I have to take it easy...
which is easy enough to say...heloooo...
HAVE YOU MET MY FAMILY?![]()
Hi Acerousme....I often read your thread but have never written in it until now...
Oh I am in COMPLETE agreement here! What a wonderful step in the right direction!
and yes you must continue your new open line of communication between you and your stepdad...
Wow I hate to hear about your back pain. I have suffered from back pain since I was 17 due to the same issue. I fell down a boat hatch! You need to really concentrate on keeping your stomach and back muscles strong, once the pain has subsided for you...
Creativity is the ability to illustrate what is outside the box from within the box.

yea, I've read your blog a few times.
ooo...a BOAT HATCH??
ouch.
my step-dad and I have gotten along preeeeettty well since then....he's doing dishes now, and he's even complimenting me more!!!!!!!

what happened to me, is I was standing by the steps to go to my basement, and my 85 lb. golden retreiver JUMPED on me, and I fell down the 9 stairs backwards....
