Forgot that i did want to comment about some of your feelings here. It took me a long time (too long) to realize this and maybe you can't really see it yet but keep in mind that...NO ONE can control the YOU inside. Your parents can legally control your actions, they can give you punishments and rewards for actions to assumably shape you, however, who you are is made up of more than just your interactions with your parents. You are You because of your emotions, because of your thoughts, because of your education/experiences all good and bad. So though i'm sure it feels like they are controlling your life -as they do have a hand in what seems like Everything right now, please NEVER forget that you will soon be legally in control of your actions, but for now you have free will just as we all do and you can think and believe whatever YOU want to.
You have struggles, and pain and love and joys that are your own and No can make those for you or take those away.-though one question, why did you stop the meds? were they not right for you? not working? or is that a decision someone else made for you? What do you think about getting off the meds-better/worse? Don't mind my nosiness, don't need to answer if don't want to.
>>i hate my parents and don't feel bad saying it aniemore.
You should NEVER feel bad for an emotion you have. God gave us our feelings and we have them for a reason. The important thing is to control how we act on those emotions, as well as to understand them. Why do we feel this way...etc.-I always worry that i'm not saying what i mean so i hope that if this is coming out really wrong that someone will chime in and say something.
I only mean for the best for you IvanM.
