Not sure if this goes here or not. Does anyone else feel like their a drift in life? I hate it when I slip into these moods. Somedays I'm fine others like today I can't stop thinking about things that happened as I was growing up. I'm in my 40's now how stupid is that? Thinking about when you were growing up, what a waste of time, anyways, I see kids in stores laughing an joking with their parents and I think "Why couldn't that've be me?"
Anybody remember high school graduation? Suppose to be a happy time, right? What my brother and I got at our graduations is good ole dad being pissed about something pointless both times.
Instead I can't really remember that many good times, I mean, there had to be some. Instead I remember my father good ole dad when he'd get mad smacking my mother around, telling my brother and I that were useless, never amount to anything, your worthless, ect.
The thing that really gets me is the few friends my father still has or the neighbors think he's the best thing in the world, what a freaking joke.
My brother moved out soon as he could afford too, then I did the same a few years later.
I think that's the biggest reason why I never or will ever get into a relationship because I'm afraid I'll turn out like my father and I couldn't stand the thought of making someone elses life miserable or god forbid if their are any kids involved treating them like my brother and I were growing up.
Sorry about the rambling, just needed to get some of this weight off my chest. If the mods want to delete this go ahead.
 
sometimes it's just does you a world of good to get something out there. have someone to listen to you and maybe offer advise. I don't have any really. my dad was a lot like your dad, but he never hit anyone. he just hit things. like knocking down the door, kicking the oven door off, stuff like that. but never mom or one of us kids. he also didn't tell us we weren't good. he did love us, just had a terrible temper. a lot of folks liked my dad. he was good at a show in public. not so good at home. folks can hide who they are for a while which may explain why your dad has friends or the neighbors like him.

anyway i just wanted to say feel free to talk more if you want. i think it's good for you to have this post out here. (*8*)
 
Sounds like you may be on one of those "plateau's" that we all experience from time to time. It's called "Is that all there is?" You may not think so, but it's pretty normal. Some call it "assessment". But you know what? Let go of the past. It's gone forever, along with all the parental "stuff" that went on. Shape your future the way YOU want it to be and it will happen. Yes, you do have to work at it. There is no bar code stamped on you that says you will end up like your father, unless, of course, you choose to believe that.
 
It always seems to help me when I find a friend who will listen and not judge....I then try and move on but sometimes I fall back a bit but always seem to have the strength to try again....

....if I should fail then I don't want to say I failed because I gave up....thanks for trusting JUB and sharing....
 
I'd like to thank everyone for their comments. Yeah, it's like I said, most of the time I'm fine, just once in awhile something'll flip a switch and I'll slip into one of those moods and think about when I was growing up. I'd like to think I've done well for myself over the years. But I just have a hard time opening up to anyone, hence the problem with long term relationships. Anyways, thanks again.
 
Yes, there are times when I start slipping into that "I coulda been this" routine. When I do, I just try to focus on "But I AM this, and I CAN be that."

Sorry for the late reply, just got home from work. Yeah, that's what I try to do, but there's times when the . . . bad side I guess you'd call it pushes in and I just ride it out. Like toady, I feel great. Now like when I posted this thread, I wasn't sure what or why I decided to post other then to see if getting . . that heavy feeling off my chest would make a difference and I do admit that it did make me feel a little better to "vent" a little bit of what I'd been keeping bottled up. Thanks again everyone.
