Oh dear sweet fuck...

Give me your address so I can come over to your house and give your father the vicious open-handed slap across the mouth he so richly deserves for being so ignorant, hurtful and willfully intolerant of reality.

I wish you all the luck in the world at getting out of that house soon. Don't write that apology. Keep true to your own integrity. You have done nothing you need feel sorry for, and they ought to be apologizing to you.

Oh, and i forgot to add that he said Braydon and Rachel are smarter than me. I snickered. He also added that since Rachel is older she is smarter. So, fat old guys who sit around their house all day eating nachos and watching monster trucks are smarter than 5-year-olds who can read and play piano proficiently backwards and upside down?

And i wish i didnt have to XD im thinking about writing things like "Christianity is the moral and true right in this world. Christanity is entirely peaceful and makes sense, and the genocides in Nigeria and the Crusades and the murder of Aztecs never happened. It is all an elaborate lie made by Islamic terrorists and democrats."
That will either get my ass beat, have to retype it, or kicked out, im hoping. Ill gladly take pain, and then running away, over having to live with them for another 2 years.

>Ill gladly take pain, and then running away, over having to live with them for another 2 years.

I'm actually really happy to hear you say that. It means you value yourself and know they're the ones with the problem, not you. Geez, this is reminding me of my own family so much. They aren't religious, but all of 'em have their own special mental illness. I felt like a new person when I realized that nothing they could do to me could hurt me so long as I refused to let it. It's not a punishment if it's unearned; then it's just bullying.

Thats something im glad that ive learned over the years of stupid bullying form middle-schoolers, and then getting tired of being hurt all of the time. I'd be like "Haha youre an idiot", think about something else, and then move on.

Another thing is that i have to write a "sincere" apology. And they dont have to write one even though they called me ignorant, and actually called me names like "brainwashed pinhead" But theyre christiand and republican, like my parents, and that apparently makes them right.

another thing is that if i dont, they might keep me from seeing my boyfriend ever again. It happened with him. He had a best friend, Michael, and Michael and his parents got into a fight. they were also tea party Christians, and they blames Taylor, my boyfriend, for it, called him the Antichrist, and forbade Michael to ever talk to him ever again. I really dont want that happening.

>another thing is that if i dont, they might keep me from seeing my boyfriend ever again.

It infuriates me to see parents cruelly using their children's relationships to serve their own pettiness like that. It's sickening and cowardly. If it's at all possible, find any way you can to communicate with your boyfriend in secret. Learn to hide from them the things you truly care about. They can only take from you what they're aware of.

And I take it back: Write the apology. Go overboard, but subtly. Just enough so they'll think it's legit, but you can delight in how much bullcrap you're putting into it. Long ago i learned the joys of apologizing to my mother when I didn't mean it in the slightest. Not only did I get off the hook, but i got to lie right to her face and get away with it! Your family have aptly demonstrated how much they value truth. Return the favor! ;D

I agree :\ the relationship didn't do anything. but they look for excuses.

Mind giving me an example of what youre talking about? :P

My mom was fond of taking out her problems on me. Like, if something bad happened at work, she'd come home and find the flimsiest reason for getting mad at me. She'd accuse me of doing something i knew I hadn't done and lecture me for literally hours, and eventually I realized that it wasn't worth fighting her every time. If I know a six-hour lecture was coming, as soon as she accused me, I'd just put on an act of agreeing with her. "I'm so sorry, mommy! I'll do better!" and she'd buy it, and i got to go back to my room, and the whole time I'm thinking, 'You're completely wrong and also an asshole!' :D

Sometimes it's worth fighting back. Other times, when you can't win, just give them the 'victory' they want. You know in your heart you're right, and all you have to do is lie a bit and you avoid punishment. Whatever works to get you out of a bad situation with minimal stress.

So yeah, write them the apology they want to hear. Give them exactly what they want, and laugh your ass off to yourself while you write it. Get creative with the lies. Reinforce all their stupidity. Sometimes you have to realize that, if a person is determined to dig their own grave (in this case with ignorance), you may as well just sit back and hand them a shovel instead of trying to stop them.

And sometimes, giving your enemy exactly what they want is the best revenge. Because not only do they not expect it, but they can't punish you for it either! ;)

Ahh, yeah, thats what i was planning on doing :P
I absolutely hate lying, and i hardly, if EVER, do it. but in this case it needs to be done. And it will be full of lols and tea party christian bullshit.

DO IT.

We should all hate lying; truth is more worthy of our loyalty than all the religions in the world. But when someone has shown you that they value lies over truth, there's nothing wrong with giving them what they ask for.

LOL i love how logic is subjective to them. Heh nice move man
