- he also knows he was never there for me when I was younger. But everytime we do something, it's like.. We don't even know each other. We both like very different things, and he usually tries to make me think like him. He tries to get to know me more, but it just never works and i don't know what to do... I don't hate my parents, I just wish they didn't do the things they think they should do. both of my parents made a really bad decision last year that completely change my family's life. We fight more then we used to, Both my mom and dad work 6am to 5pm almost everyday...I don't want to grow up and have them die and me barely of spent anytime with them. I'm in a really stuck spot right now :l And if i get one dou,chy comment, you will be blocked and i will not unblock you. :I

good god thats a lot of typing

just tell him/them
and if they don't listen then try to get it through their skulls, tell them multiple times a day how you feel, write them stuff about what you want. Like a parent request note.

@squally: I tell them that there's gaps in how our family is, but they never try to do anything to fix it.. :l I'm the only one trying to do anything to fix it..

I Hope It Does Get Better For You

At least your parents know that there's a problem...

I really want to fix things with my folks, but I can't, just because they can't see what's right in front of them. They always act like everything's just peachy...

I'm sorry. I wish I could help, but I don't know how.

Life will get better... hopefully soon.

Bad things happen! But remember, you always have a second chance. Or should we say "You still are on the stairs to success!". Sorry for this question: What is a "DOU.CHY COMMENT? Never lose hope Mr. Never lose hhhhhhoooooppppeeee *hope* *hope* *ope* *ope* *p* *p* *...* *...*

be more specific about it and explain it thoroughly. make a list about everything you want fixed, possible solutions, and do it from your perspective and theirs also

The solution, as I understand it, is to love your parents. You might not like what they like, but you can understand what they like and act on it. And rememder this phrase- "I know it means a lot to you." This shows that you understand their interest but don't share it. It also shows a willingness to relate. I used this phrase a lot trying to get to know my mom better. Our relationship is still hit and miss but we have our own scars to mend if you'll understand, but it is much better.

Sadly, life's like that. It's unfortunate that your parents have to work for so long, and I'm sure they feel guilt for missing you too, but, I suppose you can be thankful that you do still see your dad and your mum, some people's dads are at war and there's always that worry that they'll never come back... I know you want to do things with your dad but just try chatting with him, I think that's the best thing you can do.

@Stalker Blade, I'm so sorry your family is like this! I'll help you through it! I've been praying for you lately.. Don't know if it's helping or not but I'm happy I am doing it. Your An amazing guy fit for an amazing purpose. & Your parents need to realize that.
Your Amazing :3

Please excuse my bad english..
I'm Japanese..

Now that i think about it, my dad is also getting old. he's already bald and gained some weight. i guess you should try not to think about it and be glad he's there. i rarely see mine, but im happy knowing he's healthy and alive.

Man, now that one's a bit tough... Maybe you can try coming over for dinner, y'know, something simple at first and try start'n up a conversation. Take it easy with your parents, there must be something you guys both like to do. If not try out different things with them, it might increase the bond while doing so.

I really hope things turn out good, I'm hoping big time! ^^

Darn, SB. That sounds uncomfortable... : (

Hmm...maybe try to give those things your dad is doing with you a try. If some of those things seem out of the ordinary [or dangerous], try to tell him about it and try something else together... /: /

A lot of Parents never grow up. They're just big kids who have to open their eyes and view their own children -- have they matured? It's funny because there will always be a child who feels burden/guilt, thinking they have to do something to turn everyone's mistake/life around. Continue to be yourself and keep an open mind. It is in their decision if they choose to listen to the more-so, respected, Adult.

As bad as it is, at least they're not divorced... But either way parents are the first things a baby sees when its born so I suggest at least try to spend time with your family.
