1. Deliver me the news that my car is pretty fucked up, with a bent A frame and a drive shaft and something or other else. Mainly, that it’ll cost a good $1000 to fix most likely, if not more.
2. Crush my hopes of buying a house. For some reason when someone implies that I’m just not going to make it, it really hurts me. It never fails that everytime I see my grandfather, he goes and makes me feel like shit for wanting to buy over renting. But, for some reason I actually care what he thinks, it makes me second guess my decisions. But I always end up thinking, “Psh. Right. I can do this.. why can’t I do this?” And I can.
3. Make me feel as though going to college, the one thing I really pride myself in, was a waste. That just because it’s expensive, it is not worth it. And since I’m already working in my field while I’m still in school, there’s no need to finish. I disagree and I don’t think that way. I love Graphic Design. It’s something that I’ve worked hard at and I love every second of it. It doesn’t feel right that someone can make me feel bad for bettering myself.
Long gone are the days of needing his approval for anything. Noone knows whats better for you than you.
Exactly what Eric said. You have been on your own for some time now and your grandfather should have no say in what you do with your life now.
I know how you feel…sometimes you just want someone to say that what you are doing is the right thing. I still go to my mom about shit and yet, most of her replies are negative. I just try to ignore it. I love you!
