nobodybrokeurheart Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 quick story. when i was 13. MTV.com had kind of an early social networking, profileish thing going on. on the front page of MTV.com they'd have all the hottest artists of the day and then a list of the profiles of the people who were the "biggest fans" of those artists. I made an account to message one of the girls who was on the "avril lavigne" list. (shut up, lavigne made me feel confused feelings in my pants.) anyway, we hit it off. lots of AIMing. eventually calling each other on our house phones. (she was 15 and this was 2002). developed into online relationship (i was 13!!!). sent her letters. pictures. whatever i could fit in an envelope and sneak to the post office. this went on for maybe a year and a half. so of course, around the time she was nearly 17 she didn't have time for this dumb shit anymore and we broke it off. eventually the hard feelings were gone and we'd check in with one another sporadically over the years. Cut to me being 17, summer before my senior year. out of the blue she tells me she wants to come here to meet me, she's at a weird crossroads in her life and wants to take a road trip. she was pretty much what i expected in person. it was weird actually being in the same room with each other, etc. it was an alright visit. more years pass, don't talk to her, don't even know how to reach her. whatevs. she turns up maybe like 3 years ago via facebook and finds me somehow. she disappeared cuz she got into drugs, blah blah blah, got her life together, bangin job, blah blah blah. we still chat every now & then like we're old friends. this is a story i do not tell any of my friends. it's embarrassing & weird but i'm kind of in awe of the whole thing when i actually think about it.

Team Avatar Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 my mom used to be a social worker - helping moms and dads be good parents, help them with the kids, site visits to home, etc etc. once when I was 12 or 13 she took away the computer and told me I couldn't go on Runescape anymore and cancelled membership, and after 10 minutes of arguing I asked her how she could possibly be a good social worker if she can't even take care of her kids. still feel bad about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
converge88 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 That is pretty messed up but we all say shitty stuff too our parents when we are in the teens. I once called my mom a bitch and she cried. I still feel terrible about that one. I have probably apologized like 10 times over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have probably apologized like 10 times over the years. i once called my mom a bitch while she was driving and she gave me a back hand closed fist to the mouth. i got out and walked home. when i got home my dad asked me what happened. i told him. he just laughed and said "that's what you get for talking to your mom that way". henster311 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 when i was real young.. maybe like 9.. got into a huge fight with my mom, she sent me to my room, i did a lot of screaming for a while. but then i stopped. opened up my window, and hid between the mattress and the wall on the top bunk, and played the waiting game for her to come in and think i was gone. and then enjoyed it while i listened to her panic for about an hour. fuck that was terrible.

bathroommonkey Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 when i finished college and moved out to Los Angeles, my mom couldn't take it. a month later she left her husband, took my sister out of her senior year of high school, and moved to LA. she said she would only stay with me for a couple weeks. a year later all of us left LA.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 When I was young I had a banana seat on my bike and my dad would hold the back handle to keep me in control on the big hill by our house. Eventually I told him I hated him, so he let me go. I flew down that fucking hill like a boss. Directly into the corner of a house at the base. I deserved it. I think we all yell at our folks at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 My parents fucked up some things - badly once. I'm still so damn grateful to have them in my life. My father and I have worked it all out. My Mom prefers to ignore it and I don't think I can really talk it through with her now. She's a great Grandma and even failing me at times she gave up her life to raise her kids the best she could and I appreciate it. Anyway, on another thing - I got a note today from a legend in my industry, someone I admire and is looked up to by the business. It was so damn kind that I feel unworthy. At the same time I'm finally feeling like I'm getting a bit of my due for all the work I've done. Cloud 9 here in NYC right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 When I was 21, I stole my grandma's engagement ring that my mom was holding onto for her because she was getting older and forgetful. I pawned for $500 when it was probably work a couple grand. My mom found out and was devastated. I cried. I felt like the biggest asshole. I went back to try to rebuy it later on but the pawn shop was closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somethingvinyl Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 ^^^^^^^^ Sometimes, even though it's impossible, we all feel like we're the worst person to our spouse/partner. bathroommonkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
