I'm a 22 year old female, oldest of 3 (I have 2 younger brothers).
Right now my family is in a relationship crisis. It's been going on for quite sometime. Not always the same topic but mostly at the end result of my mother blowing a gasket.
my dad is an avid gun beleiver. Since obama's in office (this is my own opinion that i've come to so please dont make this the topic of your reply), everyone thinks he's gonna do away with ownership. my dad built one of his own this past week while he was home. first off, he's on the road doing cross country trucking for weeks or months at a time. I think he perfers a bit of playtime at home while still doing stuff around the house. now he spent a good bit of money on the part for said gun and mom blew up at him. She says that he's "marrid to his guns" or whatever. She alsoe keeper a present for her birthday and dad got her a card. BUT she told him that she didn't want anything O.o
The money they both make keeps the bills payed but seems they both spend money with it's not needed. And they want wanna have their fun and it seems mom is only allowed to to that, but dad... it's a freakin' SIN (note my sarcasm!)
now she won't talk to him at all and he thinks that this is heading to a divorce or if she's cheating on him. if it gets that way, i'll break. he's the only true dad i know since mine abandoned me at the age of 2.
she wont even talk to him at all, acting like a pouting 3 year old that didnt get what she wanted so now she's mad. and when i told her this moring that i'm sick of them fighting she told me to kiss her ass. but that's the thing: she wants everyone to cater to her and make HER happy but she makes this whole family miserable
What I think she's got a chip on her shoulder from her last boyfriend who was also into guns and his shop but this dude barely worked, mooched off my mom and spent most of his time with his firearms. Needless to say she left him.
Now, i'm the black sheep of the family but also it's emotional pillar. Have been since I was little. My mom took alot of her stress and emotions out on me since my biological father (or sperm doner as we all call him) abandoned us and did so again when she went onto other men that didn't work out. Yet, i'm hardly acknowledged over my 2 brothers. one is 18 and the other is 6. And I still do everything around the house (my previous home that i was living in was dangerous so i had to move back home for my own saftey)
Now this morning my dad asked me to listen in for anything. Spy?
Though I think the best thing for them would be cousiling... my mom refuses outright. >.<
If anyone can help me with this... you would't beleive how greatful I'd be.
