I totally sympathsize...
Dee said that her mom`s being a butthead, and I totally feel that way about my mom to. When I have something important to say or something that means something to me, I tell her but she totally tunes me out like I`m not even there. Then later one she gets mad at me for not telling her. She only thinks that I`m full of volleyball "talent" and that theres nothing more to me. I`m naturally blonde so she thinks I`m just gonna pop out these stupid things. She`s always said "Krystina you can always come to me and talk to me about anything you want" So when I do, she always gets mad saying I shouldn`t do this or I should do that. And never once do I get a compliment saying I`m glad you picked that. I told her that I want to play professional volleyball, and she totally doesn`t support my dream. It`s like she thinks I can`t succeed.

I`ve always tried to be my moms best daughter since I`m her only, and I`ve got three other brothers to compete with. My mom doesn`t know half of who I am. Theres so much more to me that she thinks. She has no idea I write music, poetry, lyrics, and short stories. Does she care? I think not. I draw and once I tried to show her my drawings, and she`s all like, I think I`ve seen this before, did you copy that?

Now my dad is a big support but he just gives me the creeps and he`s scary. I don`t know how to even talk to him. I haven`t said I love you to him in almost 12 years. I`ve said I hate you more times to him than I`ve ever said to anyone. I want my mom to talk to me, without getting nervous. And I want to talk to her without the fear of her getting pissed off at everything I have to say. Time at school I look forward to. I don`t have the anxiety of being at home, hoping my mom doesn`t get mad. JESUS CHRIST! I`m gonna be 16 and I swear to god if they fuck up my birthday I`m gonna kill myself.
