Fed Up

[Cecilia Peromi]

Not at all, but it's a long story.

I've actually lived with her before when I was 7, I stayed with her in Tennessee for three years before I moved back to my mom and dad's house in oklahoma. That didn't last long because my dad was abusive towards my mom, to escape, me my little brother and my mom went to live with my grandparents. Life was ok then, I lived there for about five years. Then my mom died due to a drug overdose. That was only a year ago, me and my brother went back to our aunt because our grandparents were getting too old to take care of us.

Now don't get me wrong, I love my aunt and I know she loves me, there are just some things I don't understand about her way of parenting.

Awwh dude! D=  That's so awful *hugs*


Does she have any biological children? Also, how old is she?


Sorry to interrogate but... well, as an older fur, maybe I can help you guys see each others pov.


I have a friend who is WAY too overprotective of her kids because she was molested as a child.  And I totally get that, because I was too, but if you live in fear the terrorists win.  And she KNOWS she is too overprotective but she can't bring herself to change and nobody else will force the issue with her.


If it didn't affect them I wouldn't care but the kids are missing out doing kids' stuff.


Time and time again the outcome from over-protectiveness is that the children don't learn the skills they need and as soon as the parent isn't watching they get pregnant or date-raped or buy One Direction albums.


Maybe an appeal to her to help you learn skills to keep cyber-safe might resonate?

Yes, I have cousins one 21 and the other 23. One is still in college and the other finished and works at Tyson. My aunt is in her late 40s. My aunt is married and my uncle us in the military so I don't see much of him.

I know what you mean about overprotectiveness. I've lived a pretty sheltered life and that hasn't been a good thing for my development. I WANT to be independent, I WANT to make mistakes because I know I'll learn from them. I want to do all of these things, but I just can't because I'm too young.

Hmmm, with all due respect to your aunt, maybe you should talk to your uncle when you get a chance.

The worst part though is that she hates the idea of online forums and chat rooms. If she knew I had account here... It's really unthinkable what would happen... I just know that if she takes this away my life is pretty much over.

Your aunt his beyond hope, and you must spend a probably overkill amount of time planning a routine covert forum session when she can't monitor you. I've been on almost every night, and my parents don't even know I know what a forum is.
If you do this right, you could play you aunt to the **censor** nines and be free from social confinement, but fail, and it's all over.

Well it's been awhile. I can't really explain, it but it seems like she's been a lot more lenient when it comes to my game/forum time. Of course she still has no idea about my account, but maybe she'll understand...

EDIT:

I'm feeling very anxious about this. Feels like this has gone on for too long. I've been doing this for several months without any problems, but I've just been lucky. I can't help but think that my luck is about to run out. Maybe I should just get out before it's too late.
