Hie yer hence from me heath!
^ It sounds like your mother and sisters are just extremely immature people who have never really bothered to GROW UP.
They act like teenagers.
Btw......true Feminists don't actually believe "all men are b@$%@#s".
Your mother and sisters are not true Feminists, Graeme. They just use that as a cloak to cover their immaturity, just as some people use religion for the same reason.
Oh, I know all that. But that doesn't make them any easier to live with. For example, my older sister will fly into a rage over the most trivial things. Beit an opinion she doesn't agree with, or the way you said something.
"Whit d'ye mean? Why did ye say it like that then?! Aw, f**k off!"
And they hate if I talk back to them. Especially if they're insisting upon me doing something, and I refuse. Christ! I still, to this day, remember when my oldest sister took issue with me talking back, and storm off. She was coming upstairs to my room, desperately wanting to tell me something, but I really needed a pee.
"Wait til ye hear this..."
"Well, cun it wait a wee bit longer? I need to pee"
"No! Just let me tell..."
"Look, I'm seriously going to piss myself if I keep standing here. So, if ye cun wait just a few seconds, I'll..."
"Well, cun it wait a wee bit longer? I need to pee"
"No! Just let me tell..."
"Look, I'm seriously going to piss myself if I keep standing here. So, if ye cun wait just a few seconds, I'll..."
Before I even finish, my oldest sister is in a huff. Storms downstairs, tells mum to eff off when she asks what's the matter. Slams the front door, revs her car and drives. And when my mum asked what happened, I tell her. We laughed about for a bit, then I something to the affect: "Hard to believe I'm the youngest, innit?"
Apologises for the stories, there. Just using them to show yer point is correct, Blue.
It's weird how my oldest sister likes to claim that we turned out alright, despite not having a father. Yet, how they act compared to me, says otherwise.
What makes you say that about therapy graeme? I know i'm sceptical also of therapy working, but i'm actually in therapy now, and using it as a "last resort" - it's good surely for that at least? :question:
Don't give up mate, things aren't as bad as they seem.
Because that's the attitude within my family, like most in Scotland, when it comes to therapy. Never talk about yer problems, since family and friends treat ye different once ye open up. Case in point, my mum did telling me to kill myself. But y'know... "it was only a joke".
Plus, the woman I went to see for therapy, made the excuse that my mum and sisters still loved me, despite how they treated me in past. Which basically stopped any discussion of my upbringing possibly being a contributing factor to my social anxiety. So... Just forget about it, as my mum always says. :idontknow: Guess being neglected, made to feel inferior just comes with being the youngest in the family? :question:
