Wow...I'm sorry you're going through so much at once D; family can be harsh...

The financial situation really gets on my nerves...I understand not having the money, just not being able to do something due to the lack of funds...but seriously, saying that then going off and blowing money on something entirely different after using such an excuse? Disgusting and one thing I hate to see people do. My mom has done it plenty of times.

I'm sorry your family hasn't been there for you like they should be D; blood or not, it doesn't matter, a parent should love their child the same either way and be supportive, especially when you're doing great things and working hard with your life. I find it hard to understand how a parent could blow of their child so easily, especially during severe medical issues...I'm disgusted thinking about it.

The card issue, mistakes happen and you're going to take care of it, they are blowing up something that could be handled calmly and without much issue. What your mom did on facebook was wrong and I'm glad you took initiative and handled things as you did, it wasn't offensive and you defended yourself and called it what it was, that was a very brave and commendable thing to do.

I hope things start getting better and movin forward for you! You've been doin a great job so far, keep it up and keep goin XD

Edit: Btw~ Feel free to PM me anytime you want!

I might just have to go beat up your mom for you at this point... that's just how angry her treatment of you makes me. May all her bacon burn.

Sounds like you need some space from them.

I did and it made my relationship with my parents better. After a period of time of not talking.

I'm lost for words on this. I really am. Nobody deserves to be treated that way by anybody, let alone your own family. Unfortunately people generally don't change that drastically. There are people and will be people that care a lot about you, and those are the people that really matter. There just isn't enough time in a day or a lifetime to deal with people like that.  Just don't take their neglect personally. From what I can tell you're a great person and I'm sure things will get better.

(I've never been good at putting what I mean in words so I hope you get what I'm trying to say :P)

I just wanted to lay it all out there and get some other perspectives on the situation and make sure I wasn't overreacting and if I had a genuine reason to be upset and bothered, which you all seem to agree with. I'm not on speaking terms with them currently and it was part of why I was feeling so uh depressed yesterday but I feel better today and I'm not sure what I'm going to do concerning my parents, I suppose just not talk to them anymore.

Unconditional love does not come with a price,or it is no longer Unconditional.I will be very honest with you about what i see and i have dealt with the same thing,the only difference is,i am not in college or any of that sort.My mother is literally the master of manipulation.There are many forms of guilt tripping and my mother knew them all like the back of her hand.I myself refused to contact her because of these things.She was a (only making clear the situation) religious bigot who believed *follow what i do and everything will be fine,dont and i will make your life a living hell* and i was always her main target because-suprise,i didnt follow that.She would try and call me,if i answered, the chat would go something like this
*Why do you always treat me so bad?! you do so many bad things and yet i still love you! i never do anything wrong so i dont understand why you do this to me! your a whore,a drug addict and drunk-*30 minutes later* what?! i never said that! stop putting words into my mouth! you need to get your life straight because your a complete mess!* now thats just over the phone.in person it would go something like this *you need to stop sleeping and get up to clean the house* *--but i only got maybe 6 hours sleep?* *cries* you dont love me then! fine,ill go rott somewhere so you will be happy!!* I dont need some selfish woman reminding ME of how much she has done for me along with all the trash she put me through,should a small moment in my life measure up to all of the poor actions she has shown me? this from the same woman that forced ME to clean up her puke after a night of binge drinking,and at the same told me i was worthless.We all know what is right and wrong,one can say *i love you and have DONE so much for you* as if we owe them something in return and as someone else stated,WE DO NOT owe them nothing.We must pay for your love and attention? no thanks,i would rather live a lonely,decayed life in a dark box.But actions speak louder then words,so for me,saying *i love you* means nothing when you treat me that way.She was the same way also,she would remind me how much of a bad parent i was after taking my kid,then would be so innocent *come back home -so i can run your life- your always welcome* and i told her the last time *i would rather live on the side walk with a tiger tied to my ankle*.Its very hard,its hard to feel alone during so many things in ones life and to know that those same people,use you or treat you like trash but there comes a point for us ALL that we must accept it and either 1) stick around and deal with it for the rest of our lives,even making the problem worse,letting them think they can or 2) refuse to be stepped on and walk away willingly,become our OWN person.it hurts but it makes us 10 times stronger in the end.YOU know what these things mean to you,what they have done to you,what is right and wrong so for YOU,do what you know is right.but no matter what you choose,remain strong and NEVER lose your pride.

Emma I'm glad to hear your better today. A parent should never cut a child off the way they have done with you they should be ashamed of them self's. And they will regret it in the future once they see the extraordinary woman you will become. Don't let this get you down from what I've read you are one tough young woman. You have been through a lot in your young life and have survived don't forget that! :)
