it is easy to say ignore the person, but i have done it but it take a lot of self control to just not see or hear a person who is in the same room as you, and not let them get under your skin and/or hurt you again

I'd love to visit Seattle. I've heard that there are tons of cool things to do in your town. Where I'm living at the moment sucks. I moved here to snowboard during the winter and I blew out my surgically repaired knee right before the season was going to start. I need to have another surgery, but I don't have health insurance at the moment. I'm bummed.
I'm sad to hear about your problem. I can relate to your situation because I pretty much haven't had a relationship with my dad because I don't get along with his wife. I have the advantage of being a very independent person, so I decided to cut them out of my life. It makes me sad, but I learned that nothing good was ever going to come from having a relationship with them. I hope things get better for you.

You are old enough to make sure this blight does not affect your life any longer. For real.

Are you and your mom close? Because if this man is as horrible as you say, then your mom shouldn't be married to him -- lest she lose you to some degree. Maybe if you remove yourself from them completely, she'll figure it out -- but it will take time. In the meantime, worry about living for yourself and not for them.

It hurt me to here that some one has hurt you, why does your mom let him do that. If I could give you a big hug I would.

If you dont mind me asking what did he do.

i'm moving, and liquor boxes are the perfect size. unfortunately my parents are going to think i'm a total alcoholic.

i will never understand people who hurt others with no remorse (don't know if i spelled that right)! it's natural to want to hurt someone who has hurt you. i don't know what else to say ......... sorry to hear it and hope things get better.

*hugs*

Want me to kick his ass? I'm close by and strong and mad.

I really want to give you a hug right now.
