Also, Vector, my mother can be something like that too. Except in my case, I managed to avoid spending time with her for months since she was too lazy to drop by my room. It's a temporary thing, and it probably won't work in your case, since it was extremely situational.
Hang in there, something like that happened to my sister, and my mother tried to perform an exorcism on her, which made her more depressed. I'm hoping the same doesn't happen to you.
Don't worry, there will be no exorcisms. The problem here is that my mother loves me and is crazy about me, but doesn't really know how to raise children, respect boundaries, or allow those children to grow up into adults. The situation is pretty frustrating sometimes, but I think we might be slowly figuring things out.
Ugh, I see a shadow of that in my dad, who served in his countries military back when he was like 20. He holds no wish of seeing us in the military and even tried to get my brother to not do so when he was thinking about it, but the way he acts very clearly shows that he holds up to the standards of discipline and behavior as in a military situation. This gets a little worse when he figured out that the absolute worst he could do to us was threaten to leave, because as much grief as he causes the whole family loves him. To have him leave in disgust would effect us worse than him simply being abusive. And thus we threatens us with that all the time.
While I can't say I know how you feel perfectly, we are in the same ballpark. Power to ya Vector. Give her reason to be proud, even if it isn't in the way she wants it. I would hug ya if I could, and if I didn't just get back from five miles of biking in 80 degree heat.
That's the thing--she's a total pacifist who abhors war, but she always says things like "if you were in the military, then you'd have a bit more discipline!" or "if you were in the military, then you wouldn't be doing this!" Well, there's a handful of very good reasons why I'm
not in the military, as well as another flock of reasons as to why whatever troubles I'm having would not be solved by such.
And yeah, I'm going to show them all what I can do. After I've gotten my screwy head straightened out, it'll probably be rather a lot =) I'm looking forward to that day.
You're right Vector.
she should put more in Str
Well, it probably wont help once Vector starts leveling in Expert(Math) again, since she can get Improved Evasion (Family) for free. Of course, she'd also have to take Epic Dodge (Social Engagement), but that synergizes well with the Prestige Class she's going for.
Haha, I love this forum. My thanks to everyone for being so kind to me.
