How can I be with my boyfriend and continue emo with my parents?

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 03:02:56 +0000

Uh. Its so annoying. My parents are treating me like a baby. So I like this boy and my parents don’t trust me with him. It’s like I am 16 years old. I am emo, so they are worried because he is too and they caught me cutting. Now they are taking me to a psychologist because I cut about 5 times a day.. But they don’t trust me with him. We were talking about have “it” and my stupid brother has to be a big mouth. But I kinda tricked my mom by acting like she was “cool” and she eventually thought that us going out was “ok”. But now she got me baby monitors to you know listen for me cutting but more to make sure I don’t pull another stunt or hang out with him. It is so stupid do my parents made me go to a private school (multisex) that restricts emo. We had an “issue” they eventually took me to another school – an all girl private school. The new school doesn’t fully restrict emo (Emo hair/makeup/jewelry is allowed. We have uniforms..) so I can still be me. Anyway, It pisses me off because I can’t be with the one I love but more any guy. Plus, I been to 3 different schools in one month.. But I hate this. How do I still be with him? My parents monitor my phone contacts and texts (income, outcome), myspace/facebook, and I have e-mail parental control… Another “issue”- Don’t ask. So I am unsure how I can communicate. This all stresses me out and I feel like cutting more. So what do I do? And how do I control with my parents? Everything I do comes back around with another one of my problems…
The "issue" about me changing one private school to the other was I was getting in trouble for being emo and going out with more boys.
He didn’t influence me to do this. We were BOTH emo before we met.
Why we got the baby monitors was she overhead me talking to the guy I am talkin ’bout that i pretended she was cool.

How to help my abused sister?

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:36:03 +0000

My younger sister is in an abusive relationship. We have no family history that would make her believe that it’s normal for a person to treat her this way. We came from a middle class family, both of our parents worked to provide us with a good life. I’m sure they argued, all couples do, but to this day I can’t remember a time when I witnessed one.
She got out of the relationship for about a month and she and their son stayed with me and my family.
My husband and I have four kids so it was a little crowded. We gave her a room, and watched the baby for her to work and even go out with friends.

One night I was babysitting for her to work, she called at about 11pm to say that she was going to a friends and would be home within the hour. I went ahead and went to sleep, the baby was asleep and she has her own set of keys. Well when I woke the next morning about 4am to see my husband off to work, I noticed that the baby’s car seat was gone, so I went to her room and they weren’t their. She called hours later to say they had gone back to her boyfriends house.

I understand that she wants a family of her own, but I don’t understand why she wants to be with him.
He treated her badly before she was pregnant. Verbal, mental, and physical abuse. She thought it would get better when she told him she was pregnant. .He accused her of cheating and the abuse never stopped. (The baby is now 6mo old )
He slapped her so hard once that she fell against the baby crib with the baby in it. He has left her home with a fire burning while he went out that almost caught the house on fire and the fire dept. had to be called out.
She has gone to the police once but then refused to sign the papers.
He has broken her heart with cheating and bruised her body with his slaps and punches.
I am not only worried about her but also about my nephew.
Not only does he abuse her but the home environment and grounds aren’t safe or sanitary for a baby or child.
The house that he lives in isn’t much more that a shack. They had a TV that quit working because of a nest of mice had made it their Home, along with a S*** load of roaches.
He works on cars as a hobby and there are cars and parts, rusted metal , and broken glass covering what should be a yard.
I’m not sure what to do. I’ve tried talking to her, giving her print outs on abuse and effects on children nothing is getting through to her. I don’t want her to end up in the hospital because of him. I also don’t want the baby to end up in the hospital because of some sort of abuse or neglect.
I don’t know what to do anymore.
Just last week she called the police because he tampered with her car by pulling wires so that it wouldn’t crank. She and I stayed up all that night because she was truely afraid of him.
My husband was at work, otherwise this man wouldn’t have even come near my house.
She went and filed a report, but now, not even a week later she is back with him. I know he has some kind of control over her, but I thought she had been away from him long enough to move on.
My mother was in a relationship like that with my biological father, it took her having me to move on. She remarried a wonerfull man that adopted me and they went on and had my brother and then my sister.
My sister has never known this kind of life until this man.
