Shine and librasoul, I take it that your absence of response displays your admission that you were wrong, hypocritical and rude.

Don't put words into my mouth, honey.
My lack of response was due to the fact that I had to go to class, and then out to dinner with some friends.
You know, having a LIFE. I can' t be on the internet 24-7.
All I say is this: When I itemized who pays for what in my life, I left out a LOT of things. My mom only pays my rent, which is dorm rent, and cheap. I appreciate every cent of that money, but I do have my own expenses. I pay for books, food, health insurance, car insurance, doctor care, perscriptions, phone bill, cell phone bill, credit card bills, internet access, clothing...
The list goes on.
I am NOT a hypocrite. I stand by what I said. If it weren't for my mother's help, I would never survive on my own and be able to stay in school. So I appreciate whatever she does for me, and don't expect anything from her. I doubt DA could survive if her dad didn't help her out, so she should stop bitching. It could be a lot worse.
I think the main thing that made me angry about DA's post was that she said she wanted to "smother her dad in his sleep." I have NEVER, EVER in my life said anything even remotely like that about anyone, even as a joke.
Yes, in high school I would vent to my friends that my dad was a jerk and my mom was a bitch when I wouldn't get my way. Since then, I have grown, matured, and learned that talking my problems out with my family is better than venting on a message board.
Her father sounds no more unreasonable than my parents, or any other parents I know. He wants the best for his kid, and wants her to learn how to live in the real world.
Pardon me if it offends me when a person wishes death on a father that loves and cares for them, when I would give anything to bring my father back to life.
