You know…it’s music aimed for the “college kid” crowd. Otherwise saddled with the shopworn adjective “alternative music.”
Man, the only thing that keeps me from screaming when I hear these stories is that these leeche’s karma is so gonna kick them in their asses…
Oh fuck that.
‘Put yourself at risk’? How is she at risk? Oh, is her sister not going appreciate her efforts to help her mom? Oh no!
‘Detach’? What, detach from mom because she over-helps the bad sister? Why on God’s green earth should 1kBR let her sister’s bad attitude get in the way of keeping her mom in her life?
C’mon, you can’t be serious!!
I think you misunderstood Wintermute’s post Profane Creation.
I believe WM meant detach herself from the situation, not from her mother. As in, if her mother isn’t going to accept her help, to not kill herself trying to give that help.
ummmm. I’m a dude. 
I know that she may not move out and I have accepted the fact that I can’t change her codependency. But hey, at least I got my brothers out.
I’ll work on getting the dog.
Oh, did I mention that BIL’s dad is a multimillionaire? 
Sorry dude, your username isn’t exactly gender specific. 
A multimillonaire huh? That doesn’t suprise me. I actually know (well, a twice removed kind of “know”) some very rich people who have relatives on the verge of poverty.
Sad really.
Hmm, well, I hope so. Perhaps a clarification may happen to straighten me out if need be. But not a big deal anyway.
I know this is an old thread, but I need to rant about this or I might explode.
A little background on me first. I live in Australia, and I have been living there since I was 9. But the thing is, when I arrived, I was really dreading coming here, and the house was so shite that I really freaked out about living here. Then I went to my new school, and I got NO friends at all for 2 years, during which time I was consistently bullied in various ways and excluded so much that I developed Borderline Personality Disorder (which means I am emotionally unstable and I am borderline psychotic apparently. I am doubtful of the last one though.)
Anyway, about two weeks ago a tree fell on my house. This was really tough for me, because it landed on bedroom, and as I said I am emotionally unstable, so I was freaking out. I had to move in with my sister who is two years my junior, and who has a huge room to her self (I am 16, she’s 14). She was cool to start, but then she started moving all my stuff around. I came in one day, and everything I took into her room, clothes, schoolbooks, computer etc was tipped onto my bed. I flipped out cos of the whole BPD thing, and then my sister decided to bitch on me to my dad, saying about how I was “taking over her room” and was “insulting her with my presence”. He got super-pissed at me, then told me not to annoy my sister or I would be sleeping outside.
A few hours later, I was sitting on my bed, when my sis starts full-on screaming at the top of her voice, I ask her whats wrong, and she says I didn’t make HER bed that morning. Then my dad comes in and shouts at me for making my sister upset (she was behind my dad’s back then, making obscene gestures and smirking), and now I am in deep shit and that is just the tip of the whole FUCKING island that she built…
Bummer. Sounds like white trash to me. I chose to distance myself from my own white trash family members. Not worth the drama.
How do you work two full time jobs?
Also, if your mom has no money how are she and your brothers paying almost all the monthly house payments?
Good questions! The answers will not be forthcoming, unfortunately as the OP was posted in 2003 and the poster’s last activity was in 2004.
Eep! How’d I miss that? I’m usually so good about spotting the zombies.
This is a very old thread on a personal issue, from someone who doesn’t post here any more, so I’m closing it. mumblegrunt, if you want to rant about something, go ahead and start a new thread for that purpose, instead of bringing back threads that have been dormant for years.
