Raging Texan







July 04, 2007

My mom called this morning talking about how depressed she was, how badly her job is going, how she doesn't have the money to see a doctor, how my stepdad hasn't worked for a week, and how she just wants to say "fuck it all", take all of her money out of her account, and move.

....Yeah. Overlooking the fact that that will leave their place unpaid for as well as several acres of land that I'm set to inherit(if they don't sell it all off before that time comes), they apparently DON'T have any money, as soon as I started suggesting ways that they could fix it and telling her what they were doing wrong and how they could fix it(Want to save money? Quit all unneccessary habits. My stepdad needs to quit smoking and drinking beer anyways, as that shit is going to kill him, so why not do it to save money and improve your health? Also, they need to both kick the sticky icky, as I understand that can be expensive too), she fought tooth and nail to get off of the phone.

Adding on to the fact that he hasn't worked for a week, my stepdad also apparently doesn't have a driver's license. Instead of doing the logical thing and, uh, getting one, she bitched about how they have to go to Fort Worth to do it "because they won't send it down here". Other than that sentence reeking of bullshit(he probably owes them for a ticket), as soon as I said "Well, what's holding him back from setting aside the money and driving up there to get it?" she moved on to further bitch about money.

I love my parents, but they can seriously be fucking idiots sometimes. I don't want to feel like I need to give them money, because they're fully responsible for their situation(oh god, a libtard who believes in personal responsibility, onoes!), and plus she took $700 a month of my Social Security benefits that could have gone into an account for my college, etc., and spent it on all kinds of stuff instead of getting a job. Sorry, but my sympathy ended a while back. There's tons of things you guys could do to fix your predicament, and instead of fucking doing it you're whining about how bad it is instead of working to improve it and getting the fuck out of the void of intellectual and physical well-being that is Wal-Mart, which isn't exactly known for giving a damn about its employees in the first place.

Then she goes on to bitch about my step-grandfather gambling all of his money away and complaining about having to take care of my grandmother. Fuck him. They need to get their shit together before tackling anyone else's problems, and that's that.

Sorry for the outburst, just....ANGER.

I guess you can be grateful that you still talk to your mother. Not my thing though. I think once you're 21 you should totally disconnect from your parents until the funeral.

I'm kidding. Neverthless, my mother is the devil's agent on earth. No such thing as love, just selfish grasping. Thus, there's no point in having anything to do with the "woman".

I'm getting extremely close to that point, dude. It's frustrating and seriously harshing my mellow. I'm pretty zen with where I am in my life so far, and this just comes along and shits all over everything that I've moved into place. It's annoying, and it's all her doing, which makes me that much more disconnected and unfeeling towards her plight.

Additionally, good to see you still kicking around these parts, and hope all is well with you(sure it is, you wouldn't let anything else abide :P).

I guess I'm pretty extreme. My mother came out to visit a few months back without even telling me about it, so when she showed up unexpected I refused to see her. If we were on good terms it would've been welcome, but we are on bad terms and she obviously knew that. Some people will just try and suck the life out of you, without offering any recompense. And unfortunately even parents will do that. Without telling my life story, I really do feel my mother had a bad impact on me in a lot of ways. The ways I hate the most are how it has affected my personality at times.

Also thanks for the well wishing. I moved into a house recently and doing pretty well all in all. Although I haven't really been here in a long time your site is still a good read and makes me think (I haven't been doing so much of that lately).
