My parents. my parents. there is so much to say. I am 18 and i work my butt of at work and they dont ever want to let me out. I finally started just going out one day because i was so tired of everything. of bieng incarcinated in this damm house. all i got was a punch in the eye, words of accusation and a stab in the heart that wont ever heel. im leaving to study in PA in a month to go to a private school over there. they already told me they cant wait for me to leave. ive been called a whore for going out twice already. They have my siblings against me. they believe im setting a bad example. i dont think i am. wanting to enjoy some time with friends isnt a bad example. wanting to learn how to enjoy life, learn some damn independence! I really wish i were dead right now. i have an extremely bad eating disorder and thats really screwed me up these past two years. they blame thats something stupid i once decided to do. does it ever occur to them that that is a serious medical condition i havent been able to overcome yet. Have they figured maybe its because of the f…. way they raised me! a f… low self esteem. i was never pretty. no it was always all my other sisters. i wasnt able to have playmates over. NO NO NO! i am hurting like hell of anger right now. but i have come to the conclusion…
if i wanna go out. im going to do it. they are going to have to deal with it. I am growing up and they are not gonna keep me a child forever. NO! not ever again!!….
