Normal Behavior? Or not? - Comments

It's perfectly normal with the whole writing thing. I get that too.
The thing with your dad is understandable. If you don't want to talk to him, I think at 21 you're old enough to make that decision.

And with your mum, I think everyone's mum can piss them off greatly at times. Several times I've sworn NEVER to talk to her again, and it's never lasted longed than two or three days. Like it or not, your mum is something that you'll never replace and they can be pretty damn useful to talk to about different things.

The thing with your sister seems pretty hard to manage. If she says that about you, it sounds really hypocritical and stupid. But a lot of people are homophobic and it's something you'll always have to deal with. My parents are homophobic, so I haven't come out as Bi to them. I know that it wouldn't feel as bad if the homophobia wasn't in your family, but sometimes you've just gotta grin and bear it.

Thanks for asking for my opinion.
Oh, and btw, I'd never forget about you.

Hm.. mild workaholic ?
The guilt doesn't sound that normal, have you tried talking to you not-so-good counselor about it ? If you don't like him/her, try to get an other one or just tell him/her that you don't like him/her and try to sort it out together.
Also ever tried to get your parents into therapy ?

How does your counseler not want to see you? Well-I think the writing thing is normal. Umm, the last two kinda arn't. Abuse can happen so many ways-physical verbal ect. My dad was an alcaholic till he died (heart stuff) and I hear it all the time from my uncle (his brother also an alchoholic) and my mom that once you become one it doesn't ever go away. If you are an alchoholic and you take away the drink they still are, they cannot have just one-more like as many as they can slam before their head slams into the ground. The weed is kinda bad but one thing about it is that people say it isn't addictive (I know right!). It's kinda been given a bad rap but really as long as hes getting it from a good sorce then the drinking is worse.
ps i said reliable source because some dealers lace their's with pcp or lsd or coke so its even more addictive.

i'd have to agree. your counselor sucks, try to get a new one. and you have every right to be upset and angry, and such. i went through several similar events. and some people can't accept sexual orientations other than heterosexuality. like my dad. i have no clue what i'd do if i were a lesbian. he's that bad.

i'm sorry about that, though. and if you ever need to talk, i'm a nerd. so i'm always here *as in mibba*.

The writing thing is totally normal XD don't worry.
the parent thing is crazy, but you know every ones parents are always abit screwed up, people just learn from there mistakes and move on. Your dad sounds pretty bad..
Maybe you should get a new counselor not saying your weird or anything your perfectly normal but everyone needs that help and if a counselor can't do that well shes not doing her job. Get hold of some help lines, sometimes there just better, you can ring them whenever and there there to help.. for free!

You have normal behavior and your family is a wee bit fucked up. but I must say that your counselour kind of sucks. Ahh, you can sue! JK, don't sue, but you can always get a new counselour. But hey, counseling isn't for some people. I hope you feel better soon.
