[Joeyx]

hey everyone. gosh, it feels like forever since i was active here. i've been really busy dealing with a lot of stuff since earlier this year but i have been popping up here from time to time to see what's new. i don't know where to begin, but let's just say i've been dealing with some health issues that've been caused by a lot of stress from my family. it's safe to say that they've been successful at pushing me even further away than i thought possible from them (emotionally), and they've turned me into a somewhat hateful person than i really am. it's also been affecting my relationship with my girlfriend, whom i'm madly in love with.. but it's because of her and my companions that i'm still sane. they keep me happy and are always there for me. well, the companions mostly hehe.

but yea, i hate them for making me give up my CAG Klaus earlier this year, and my cat Foxy just recently. let's just say that stuck up, close minded people and animals that shed a handful of fur per second, or let out a lot of dander/dust don't mix. i really don't want to get into details. the good thing is that Klaus is happy with a good friend of mine, who keeps me updated with how he's doing and i get to see him every now and then, and Foxy is in good hands at a shelter not far from my place, awaiting a good home.

giving up animals that are like family to me, for the sake of my arrogant homo sapien family, isn't gonna stop me though. i have taken their thoughts into consideration and have found the perfect companions that always cheer me up whenever i'm feeling down, and the homo sapiens seem to love having them around too. well, one of them has been around for a loooong time now. the other will be ready to move in to my place in a few days. i haven't introduced them here yet, but i plan on doing so soon. maybe sooner if people nag me to, lol.

anyway, i like being around here and i hope i don't fall into a dormant state again anytime soon.

Joey, sorry to hear of the strife you've been going through! But I hope things start looking up for you again!


Welcome back! And don't be a stranger now!

I know I'm new here, but I'm always curious of other's companions. Do you think you can post a pic of them sooner?

Sorry to hear about all the issues you had with your family, I've been there done that. I actually moved as far away from them as possible the moment I turned 18 and went out bravely into the new world on my own without any money, car, nothing. All I had was my bag of clothes. A good friend of mine helped me out, got me a plane ticket to fly to him to stay with him. He helped me out big time to get away. I got tired of being abused and all by my family. It'll take some time once you've moved away from them but they'll learn over time to regret things they've done. I know my family did, they regret it and they apologized to me many times. People are proud of me to over look what they've done to me and try to make the relationship with them work. I think it's because of them and some people that hurt me when I was little that make me turn towards animals and stay away from people.

You'll be fine, stay strong!!! You'll get through this and you'll be happier down the road once everything is over and done with.

SO sorry to hear of your troubles, Joey.

Please don't keep us in suspense....pretty pretty please share some pictures with us of what you are talking about. The suspense is just awful.

It's good to have you back....and HUGS!!!

I can fully understand what you are and have been going through. My family is the same way, I swear they try to drive me insane ! I am 39 and my mother told me 2 months ago that I was the only of her 3 kids that she doesn't like, and that her and my father think I am full of the devil. All because I was not speaking to my brother, who had used our business as his personal bank account and bankrupt the company. I can honestly say I am a better person now that I don't speak to them at all. No one can hurt you more than the people who are supposed to love you the most. I will keep you in my prayers, you can always count on support here.

Now, please do tell what your new companions are ? The suspense is killing me !

... my mother told me 2 months ago that I was the only of her 3 kids that she doesn't like, and that her and my father think I am full of the devil. All because I was not speaking to my brother, who had used our business as his personal bank account and bankrupt the company....!

Oh man, Heather....I'm so sorry. That is cruel. When I had tarantulas years ago, and my mom found out, she declared me mentally insane - NO, I'm not kidding. She seriously told me that I obviously needed professional help. Parents can be a handful or two, no doubt about that.

Wendy, my parents are very closed minded people. They believe their way is the only way, and they think that they can tell me how to live my life and what to do even though I am married. They actually tell me how to parent my kids, and if I don't do it their way, they say very ugly things and call names. They also told me if I continued to allow my youngest to be an actor that I would be cut out of their will. Well cut me out, because I am allowing him to persue his dreams ! I have learned to not allow the things they say and do upset me. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words I will not allow to hurt me any longer.

Tarantulas IMO don't equal insanity, it amazes me how once we no longer live with our parents, we still have to hide things from them like we are teenagers all over again. I can say it made me a much better parent myself. I allow my boys to be theirselves and I simply support and encourage the good and keep my mouth shut tightly about other things. They will make mistakes, but they learn from them much faster if I am not screaming I told you so. I don't agree with all the decisions my oldest has made, but it is his life and his choices, and he has to live with it not me. I just love him regardless.

thanks everyone. i would've moved out a long time ago if it were that simple. this country
is heavily influenced by our dumb culture and religion, which doesn't make it easy for
someone to just move out when they turn 18. if they do move out, they wouldn't be able
to find a place because, almost always, the landlords or whatever won't let a single citizen
live by themselves. they have to be married or are well over 30 or something. foreigners
on the other hand can do as they wish. eh, anyway..

look for a new topic in the amazons forum shortly...... ;pp

 

[Boysmom]

Joeyx, do you mind my asking what country you reside in ? I wish you the best of luck in finding your independance and freedom and a more peaceful lifestyle. I believe every person is entitled to dignity, and it sounds like you are not getting yours respected at the present time.

i'm in kuwait, and this whole region is wrong for me. i'm stuck here though. for now.. ;/
