Thanks, guys. Not really.
Basically, Dad has declared that he is not subsidizing my life so that I can take vacations and travel. Otherwise, he wants rent. If I can afford the train ticket ($100), I can afford rent ($400).
I'm trying to calm down and *not* think of all the years my sister lived here and travelled far more extensively than to CHI-fucking-CAGO and didn't pay one red cent in rent. I'm trying to see it from their eyes, but ya know? I can't. I'm fucking pissed off.
I'm so sorry for disappointing everyone. Maybe something will change in the next week or so, but I highly doubt it.
double growls
and it isn't like I am even going to be there.
Oh man, that sucks Aimee.
I thought sleep, caffiene, and a little retail therapy would calm me down, but no such luck.
I'm still mad as hell. And when I'm mad, I get petty. So, I'm glad I'm here at work and not at home because I would be Mean Aimee today and that would serve no purpose.
Yeah, that's probably right.
I don't suppose, at this point, it would help if *someone else* bought the ticket, would it?
Any chance that once you've both had a little time it would be worth discussing again? Having a weekend away is good for your sanity, it's not the same thing as going clubbing every night on the parents' dime.
I don't know.
And that's the funny thing. If I were just going out every night, I would be wiling to bet nothing would have been said.
As far as he's concerned, until we live somewhere that isn't there, we have no right to sanity.
I mean, I do get it - somewhat. Short of buying groceries once, we haven't contributed to the household. It's not cheap to feed us. I'm pissed off that there's no room for compromise in his eyes. I can't buy two weeks worth of groceries AND take the train to Chicago. That's just madness.
I'm also pissed off because he jumped on my ass because my mom didn't have the balls to say anything to me herself.
We just need to NOT be living there. I told Joe that I didn't care how crappy the neighborhood is, we're moving into one of my bosses apartments until we buy something. I just can't even deal with this shit anymore.
And...er...probably all belongs in LJ or summat. Sorry to bogart the F2F thread. I'll just go piss off now.
