Sometimes I really think that I just want to run away. Even though I am 22, some things just still get to me when it comes to being at home. I'm at my parents house and have been for about 3 weeks and I still have one more week because well they make you move out of your dorm until summer classes start; therefor one more week! But, I know that my parents work hard, mostly I am stuck home with my Dad since school is out for summer and we get along for the most part. We spend the days going to the gym, and cooking maybe sometimes watched tv together. But, that's fine with me and relaxing for the most part.

That is, until my mom gets home at least. She works so hard, I know that! But, she comes home and will just be so mad and aggrivated from her job, that she takes it out on us. Me sometimes, even when it's like "hey mom this weekend lets make some dessert!" and she's like "i thought you wanted to loose weight?"

Which I am, but it's not like I was like mom lets make APPLE PIE! one of the fattening desserts, I know she likes to cook on the weekends and I wanted to go to culinary school so why not make something together. PLUS it's not like I am as big as I use to be, I am maintaining my weight! And so far in 2 weeks I've lost 6 lbs! I'm working out, eating right, but I just really don't want to be here anymore.
 
I want to go and run away...Whether that's back to school or to a friend;s house..but really I just want to be left alone! I feel like I bottle up all this frustration with trying to make sure I give her her space so she's not so bitchy, and I end up frustrated all inside. So, I am just really wanted to just get in my car and drive, don't really care where I end up, and if I had the money I would probally be in a hotel right now, sounds like perfect bliss to me..
 
I can't wait to go back to school. At least there I am busy with class, a internship and only the weekends I will be free, to spend wondering around barnes and noble all I want...

    Dream....i read your post with a heavy heart, believe me....because even though i have felt the exact things when i was your age now that i am the mother i cringe...

    My daughter is 14....in a little while she will be thinking the same things you are thinking...wanting to run away, no matter where, but away from me, our home,our  family..

    I know its a fact of life...kids grow up and leave...parents get old and want them close...

    I bet your mother loves you with all her heart and she can't simply control sometimes those bursts of frustration........
    I can tell you that only turning in a mother made me understand my mother..

    You will too...

    Just ..for now...leave a little room in your present and future to make your bond grow and tighten up...don't run away......but if you do, i hope you want always come back home to hug your parents again...with no obligation, only desire to see their smiles again.

    hi, i love everything that ginger said...almost wiping a tear from my eye as i am also a mother....no mother sets out to hurt their childs' feelings.  it's something that does happen though,  i've realized that parents are not the perfect beings that we have dreamed them to be ;)  however, it's sad to hear that you are trying to reach out to your mom and she's filled with so much frustration and anger that she takes it out on you.  the obvious response to that is to want to leave, to make her hurt, just as much as she's made you hurt...when i was college age my mother and i got in a brutal fight, she was pulling out all the guilt and painful things she could to throw at me.  in the past i had always ran away and cried about how much my mom hurt me when we argued.  this time was different though, i stood up and faced her and told her that she was being hurtful and immature.  it changed our relationship (in a positive way) forever :)  i'm sorry that you are dealing with this, try and talk to your mom though...

    Something to keep in mind is that your parents are only human.  I'm sure they don't mean to get on your nerves.  Maybe find a reason to be out of the house some evening?

    hi dreamer.
    i first ran away from home one summer, when i was 15 y-o, to work as a radio station volunteer.
    to tell you the truth, it felt exhilarating... the sense of freedom.

    i think it's ok for you to run away, lose yourself somewhere.
    but you must also be clear about what it is you really want to do, not simply to be alone.
    and also -- and i'm sure you realize this yourself -- you must always try to keep in touch with your roots, your family.

    here's a neil young song for you...
    note where the lyrics say,
    now you say you're leaving home,
    and you want to be alone.
    ain't it funny how you feel,
    when you're finding out it's real.

Meh

I'm running out of title ideas today....
Just some thoughts about how very different my life has become in the past year and a half - everything seems smaller somehow.

My family got smaller - no more Armadillo, and in many ways, that changed my entire world ... and then it got bigge...
Accessorizing your house, whether or not you are upgrading or merely starting, is fun to do. This is where you can put your creativeness and imagination to some use....
