I Hate it Here
I hate my dad sometimes. I really do. I told him I wanted to go with him to get Aaron this morning. Which means we leave the house at 7:30 in the AM. Well, everyone knows it's horrible to get me out of bed. Alarm clocks do not do the trick. I sleep through all of them. Aaron calls me during the week to make sure I get up on time.
So I wake up to Aaron's call at ten til 8 asking where I am. Oops. Overslept. Nothing unusual. Expected Dad to come in and say SOMETHING. But nope. Just woke up, and he was already gone.
So then Dad calls me when he gets to Aaron's and asks what happened to me this morning. I told him he was already gone when I woke up. And follows with this big lecture about how I'm 18, and if I tell someone I'm going to do something, I should be able to get my lazy ass out of bed and do it.
Screw you, Dad.
Nothing else can describe how I feel toward you right now.
I can't wait for the next two years to pass so I can move out of here.

If you moved on campus would you still be considered a dependant?
You know, you could get scholarships...You don't have to rely on the fact that your parents work there...You were an EXCELLENT student, and schools would throw money at you. lol
You'll probably get mad at me for this . . . but your dad has a point. If you are going to live on your own you need to show that you can be responsible. Which includes being able to wake yourself up on time. Perhaps he was not so tactful with his delivery, but let me try with a suggestion and some advice.
Maybe you could try setting your alarm clock across the room and have it go off at high volume. At least that way, it will be so obnoxious you'll have to get out of bed to shut it off. And boom, there is half the battle - you are already out of bed.
This is a cruel world. I speak from experience. You CANNOT always rely on other people. I'm not saying it's not okay to love and to lean on someone once in awhile - what I'm saying is that you must learn to be self-sufficient because the people in your life, even the people you love, won't always be there.
sacredsorrows has a very good point.
Plus, that kinda seems like a sad reason to stop loving someone. Even if he has done other stuff, he helped bring you into this world. He has also influenced who you are and will become.
When you think times are really bad, just picture a worse time and how much better it is now. You can also think of all the ways that it isn't bad. ex. Well, at least I'm not outside, hungry, in the snow wearing only my undies. Things always appear worse than they actually are. Hidden behind every dark cloud is a rainbow, you just have to look.
