Oh, I realize that the small space was just really warm and my grandmother was wearing perfume which gives me a headache.

Wow... Second day here, and I'm already in a depressive mood...
Okay, it isn't really ME that needs help. It's a friend of mine. She practically lives in Hell itself, right along with her father, the devil. He's so mean to her... She can hardly get on the computer to talk to me without getting yelled at, can't get presents in the mail, or even mail at all without her dad threatening to intercept them and ground her/destroy the mail and presents. She recently got grounded, probably for a month, for getting a present - a CHRISTMAS PRESENT - in the mail from an online friend. Her father is ALWAYS grounding her for stupid little things! She doesn't have any freedom, any rights, and any abilities to live her own life. I'm surprised he's even letting her stay in his house. He's dominating, cruel, and just an overwall b*stard.
None of her friends like him. And since he grounds her from the computer, where her ONLY friends are, she's always alone... Out of high school, trying to get independant, and he doesn't support her at all. She does the majority of the house chores while he folics off with his girlfriend!
Ugh... I just... I just hate the fact that I can't do anything to help her... She's always so happy, and even wanted to mail me some presents of my own, but her mail sometimes "mysteriously" never reaches their destination. I don't know what to do...
Sorry to hear about your friend Nicoga (love your gryphon fursona by the way ;)) It must be really tough, the best thing is just do all you can to be there for her. Maybe she should even consider moving out of home to somewhere where she'll be better supported.
She's trying to do that, since a friend of hers lives near the college she wants to attend. I guess she just needs time to plan it all out before going for it, but I know how it feels to make a big decision like that when you're being dominated all the time... [*clacks beak* Thanks]
I just hope he doesn't HURT her. By the things and the way she tells me about him, it sounds like he has anger issues and even might be violent.
If she is over 16 she has the legal right to move out. If its that bad, i would get social services onto the case if it gets that bad.
Im am sorry to hear bout what is happening to your friend. I just hope things will be ok and nothing bad happens.
Much many more times than that my friend. The first time was when I was 15 when I had a myocardial infarction. Caused by high cholesterol and hypertension. Then the car accidents crept in along, I was like... "Geez."Quote:

I don't know, sometimes I think Death's trying to tell me something.
:hmm:
Thankfully, my fear of driving/riding in automobiles is far less and almost a non-existent these days...
:cheese:
I guess elevators are a bit creepy though, but l00k on y0ur bright side, there's the alternative staircase, as aforementioned.Quote:

;)
Well I can see why she would get grounded for the present from the online friend. Does she know the "friend" personally? Not all of the people you meet are who they say they are.Quote:

Yeah, she does. I believe she's met him face to face once. Talks with him on the phone... It's just that her dad is paranoid about her being with people he doesn't know, including any real life friends. She has none. Which, with a dad like him, I would see why...
Okay...is she his age?
Oh and my dad's a bit like that, except he doesn't care about my real life friends.
My Dad doesn't care either...but that's because he's dead...I'd say he was a little better of a father when he was alive...:D
But how old is your friend? Her day may just be over protective at points and he can be mean about it. Maybe what you're confusing as being mean is actually him just being firm?
She's 18 or 19. She always tells me what her dad does and all the crap she puts up with... No one likes him, including me. He just REALLY needs to lay off making her life miserable while he tries to spiffy up his own... He acts like she's loose baggage...
...If she's 18 she can now press charges, legal age...she can even sue over the stuff she owns should he beg to differ.
She's too soft... She won't do that to her own family. She doesn't even stand up for herself over almost anything.
*sigh* This is all frustrating... I'm sorry for doing this. I just... can't stand seeing her like this...
Hmm... well if she was under 18 a suggestion would be to call a local department of child protective services. Since she's 18, she should make her dad eat some Miranda rights.
But if she's skittish, perhaps some external help is warranted (all of what I've said would be appropriate, however it's also highly dependant on the demeanor of her dad).
I don't know if he's one of the violent types or not, but it still worries me. I just hope she can hurry and get out of there if she's so miserable.
Thanks everyone, at least..
Ugh.
Just came back from the hospital about 2 and a half hours ago. How scary is it when a family member has a seizure right in front of you. Don't want to talk much about it; I think I'll take some off-time.
:(
