Who is this stranger you speak of, and what makes him so appealing to your "family"? I put family in quotes because, even if thats what they are biologically, they certainly don't seem to act the part.
Some girl who has lived next to us for a few years. Don't know her to well, but she's a McDonald's manager working towards college. Nice, pretty girl...good head on her shoulders...don't really fault her for anything. Don't know what makes her so appealing....but I know she didn't have any parent figures in her life and has had a rough time with former boy-friends....My parents wanted her to move in so she would have a safe place to stay.
Seems fine enough to me. Seems like something I would do if I saw a friend in need.....But I can tell there is definitely a sinister sub-text at work here, as she is being treated with respect versus where I am not. She is being given advice while I just want to talk to my dad without getting yelled at, at the dumbest things.
My dad has pretty much came out and said that he doesn't like who I am as a person, and many things I have seen and heard lead me to believe that they believe that they have failed in raising me. I'm treated with nothing but silent contempt, with my mother only showing the slightest interest in my day every once in awhile.
The one thing that they do seem to be interested in about me is to try and kick me out of their house as soon as possible. So when an opportunity pops comes up that offers the slightest chance of me leaving, they jump on it and expect me to take it...sometimes even demanding that I take it. You know that they once tried to force me into the military? Literally, they went to the recruitment station while I was in high school and tried to sign me up....only my asthma saved me as the military wouldn't take asthmatics.
Oh they would say it would be for my own good...that it would teach me discipline.....God...they pretend to know so much about me when they know so very little. I never even did anything that deserved something like that....never yelled at them....only lied to them one or two times.....got good grades in high school....went to college like they ask.....and through one serious bout of depression...BAM....all of sudden...Im treated like a second class family member.
