I'm so upset...

Re: I'm so upset...

2big4mysize- Thank you for your support! I might just ask my Dad if we can just donate all those No No foods. The last time I went on the WOE he tried to do it with me... but then he stopped and said he didn't like it. My Dad used to be over 400 lbs. But his doctor put him on medication to lose it... now he's down to 250.

GoldFinger- After I was over being upset... his words just mad me angry and made me just want to prove him wrong even more! Thanks for the support

MomtoFour- It was hard losing my Mom but I believe she gives me strength everyday... She had me when she was 17... and raised me by hersself because my biological father walked out on us... and because of her I feel like I'm given more strength to pursue my goals in life... Thanks for your support!

Wayless- Thanks for your support as well (Gosh I sound like a broken record!) Don't be sorry... everything happens for a reason.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH... I CAN HONESTLY SAY YOU GUYS AND GALS ARE THE BEST FRIENDS I'VE EVER HAD!

Re: I'm so upset...

I grew up with an abusive parent...and it sounds like you are as well. They tend to get wrapped up in their own issues and we have to bear the brunt of their unhappiness. I like 2Big's suggestion about trying to get him on your side. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to figure out a way to ignore his remarks until you're able to get out of the house. I've always thought that happiness is the best revenge and that Karma (or "what comes around goes around", depending on your beliefs) will set things right in the end. Take what he says with a large grain of salt and remember that he's probably just lashing out because he's unhappy with his life. We're here for you with lots of love and support, and remember that you can do ANYTHING!!!! ~JoAnne

Re: I'm so upset...

Joanne, thank you so much... Tonight he decided to lighten up... he decided to make dinner... and he asked me if what he was making for dinner was okay for me to eat (breaded fish filets, baked beans, mashed potatoes) I told him no.. but not to worry about it that I would make something for myself when he's done. And he actually said... nicely "Well I can make you a hamburger if you want..." So I hope he realized how much he hurt my feelings yesterday... maybe he will keep rooting me on!

From the bottom of my heart I want to say how much I love you all . And I hope that just as much as you guys have helped me that I can do the same for you!

Re: I'm so upset...

Just remember, you will not have to live with him forever, but he will have to live with himself, and people rarely realize what they have until it moves out and never calls. If he was nice to you once, maybe he'll be nice again. Don't do yourself a bad turn by buying into his negativity, please hun. I have two teens, and I would never treat them like that, so that is NOT by any means the norm, and with the loss of your mother, he is most likely still bitter, and sometimes us old folks just don't treat others very nice when we don't like OURSELVES. I am sure he loves you, and if you show him you are serious, and exercise, and get yourself feeling better, and if you smile at him like every day is a gift, no matter his attitude, his own attitude will either change, or you'll drive him nuts, which in this case... is a fitting way to get back at him for being ugly to you!

From me and Kricket, and extra for being the better person.

Re: I'm so upset...

Wow! I'm sitting here reading your posts and have such a huge lump in my throat! There are soo many things going on.

First, you came to the right place. The Board are very essential in keeping me strong. Its like a boost! We all care about everyone here and there there is a lot of wisdom here also. We all have our 'special' inspiration people!

Anyway, Stay strong and do this for YOU! You are sooo worth it.
Sometimes people feel they need to be defensive and respond badly. Talk it out. Let him know where you stand. You are at a credical age from child/adult and its hard for parents to see that we are not children.

Going for a walk was a wonderful thing you did. Doesn't matter how long it was or how fast....the point is that you made a decision to get some exercise.
Also, remember we have to eat. When we are really hungry our decisions may not be the right ones at the time.
The choice is ours! You CAN DO IT!

Re: I'm so upset...

Hi sweetie, I am so sorry that you have to deal with someone like that in your life.
I want you to know this....I had to deal with a horrible step-mother for years, and as soon as I was 18 and able to go away to college, I left, I couldn't live with her in the house anymore. (I'm still paying off my student loans, but I felt incredible not having to deal with a horrible step-parent). Please know that you can change your life and eventually not have this negative influence in your life. Your life doesn't always have to be like this, okay? Try to ignore those horrible comments and find support here, at school, work, or anywhere else that you can get help from.

You deserve better than that.

Take Care of Yourself!!!!
