In reply to What to do about my parents..., posted by med_empowered on October 21, 2005, at 11:52:33
Dear Med,
Crazy T gives good advice! You're very bright, you *can* do well at college if you want to. You're clearly very interested in sociology, I think you'd really enjoy it if you studied sociology at college.
I know how intelligent you are from your posts on the med board :-) I read all your posts. You always have something valuable and interesting to say.
I think you need to get away from your parents. They are damaging your mental health and it's not right. At college, you will make good friends: it will make a world of difference to how you feel.
>All my life, I've felt like they're trying to "fix" something in me--they'd make digging comments (your clothes look funny, you're fat, etc.) and do stuff (enroll me in sports, force me to go to certain programs) to "help" me. I don't want to be "helped"; I want support in doing my own thing. After I was hospitalized, they wanted to send me to some sort of super-christian thing to help "troubled" young people. I told my parents I thought it was a mind f*ck--which I think it was, and is. I mean, I was at my weakest point, and what did they want to do? Send me their (gay, crazy) son to some bible-thumping boot camp...again, I felt like they were trying to "fix" me, and I'd prefer not be "fixed," thank you.
You don't need to be fixed Med. Do your own thing! Go to college and meet a nice boyfriend! The boot camp sounds like a nightmare.
Kind regards
Ed
