Ha, weird. Just a while back, Travelr posted a blog on jealousy And yet, here I am, telling how jealous I am of my own mother. Sounds so very odd. She has beautiful hair. lmao. Hair, to me, is a beautiful feature. If you have managable hair and it looks good on your head, I find it attractive.
 
Sadly, I can't seem to get my hair to be beautiful.
 
My parents, especially my mother, are the type of people to complain to their kids about spending too much money. That we have to stop. So we manage, but they eat out, buy new clothes, just recently saw 3 new pairs of shoes come into the house within a month. And yet, a daughter here with barely any jeans, her shirts and pants are tearing, her shoes are 3 shades darker than how they were when bought, and hair that won't grow, short, and is not managable because she treats hers, but doesn't ask or try to treat mine. It's her money, I don't yet have a job because I need rides. Don't have a car because I don't have a job. My parents love putting things off, but it never ends up happening, unless it's their needs.
 
It really gets to me. I'm talking to LiveInPeace and she says to worry about me and only me. My brother and stepsister aren't doing well in school. My stepsister is a drop out and my brother failed school twice and he's practically being promised a future. How? Because of another mother who knows these rich people and she's a beggar.
 
I'm trying not to worry so much. It surrounds me everyday. I manage to ignore it. I need to find a way to worry more about myself. I swear up and down to myself, "If I can get a job and a car, I should be fine for a little while longer."
 
It's all just a part of growing up. There are just damn people in the way.

    well, it doesn't seem like it now, but you're actually better off than you may think. it's really not good to get wrapped up in material posessions. if you do, they will be what determines the course of your life. better to learn early how to make do with and appreciate what you've got, rather than after you've been through losing allot and having to learn it in an even harder circumstance. and yeah, i'd look at it as you're pretty much on your own for things other than the basics. which is also a good thing, you'll be 22 and able to provide for yourself when other people your age won't have a clue. actually, you're pretty ahead of the game already to recognize that the only real problem you have is your own jealousy. that way you can deal with it, get it out of the way, and get on with your life.

    I've never understood parents who choose to sacrifice their children's needs for their own perks.  The good news is that you don't seem to suffer the same condition.  The best way to help the younger children is for you to focus on finding a job and becoming self sufficient.  Only when you're settled will you be able to help them.  So basically, your friend is right.

    Well, don't let them get in your way.  I only say this because, after a point, we realize that we're LETTING them stop us.  What's really got you stopped from getting that job or whatnot?  I've got some experience here in realizing that I was just allowing things to happen because it meant I didn't have to face conflict.  You do need to start concentrating on you more, you're so very worth it. Obviously you're young, and you've got loads of potential.  I hope to hear soon that things are changing in a big positive way for you.  I hate it when parents neglect their children's needs so they can be satisfied.  My SIL is that way a lot of times with my nephew and it just makes my heart bleed for him.  You do what you can, keep trying and just keep your eye on the prize.  You'll get there.

    there were times in my life where i had to buy cheap clothes  ( not because of my parents ) .but priorities in life made me do that ,where ever you are from there should be jobs available ,save save save .later everything will come to you be it trips to the parlor shoes car etc etc
    as to the parent part at a loss as to what to write other than make the best of the situation and do not antagonize them .your time will come

    have you mentioned your needs to your parents? i'm so sad for you :(  i agree with what trav said, that you'll be ahead of the game when you're older and out on your own, but i know that it doesn't make the right now any easier :(  my heart goes out to you.

    Thank you everyone. Honestly...
     
    After reading 5 posts all from different people, I feel a lot confident in setting myself in the right position. That's the odd thing about me. I knew almost everything everyone said. I just find it sad that I don't follow what my heart says. I stumble a lot when I'm finally standing in the moment where I want something. I start to doubt everything in life and I slowly put myself down, later believing it all and nothing else. I just went through a rough time with my parents again and after being reminded about this, I just feel like sitting down, crying, and tearing my journal apart with my words. I actually just might to this, but to a friend. Then i'm going to save my work and write later. It might turn into a story actually, it always seems to. =\
     
    Anyway, thank you all for your kind words. It made me feel so precious after a lonely and rainy day...well, weeks of rain actually, but every day was filled with a different emotion. It seemed like different colored raindrops would fall atop of my head, releasing a different emotion and idea in my mind. Ha. Amazing. =]

    hearing the things you already know but wish weren't true from other people is a great means of support edrii. it helps us to assure ourselves that we're not overreacting or thinking too selfishly. sometimes, when you can't see the forest for the trees, it's good to hear from someone who has been there and found their way out, even when you think you know the way.
  • Edriisxe said on May 26, 2009....
    That is true. It felt really good to get support from you all. My friends here don't support me very well, well, just a few do, but we barely communicate. So i'm on my own when it comes to figuring myself out. Which is gonna happen soon enough, but I still need my reassurance. Glad to hear I have some people like that. Even if I never met them. =]
  • travelr712 said on May 26, 2009....
    well don't be too hard on your friends edrii. most people your age really don't know how to give good support in situations like this, it's something that takes maturity to understand how and why to do. and you're right about blogging. i just told fraggles earlier today, people ask me why i blog here. i tell them it can't be explained, it has to be lived.
