I'm experiencing some bad stress sciently and my parents are starting to catch on.
I'm angry at my parents because our personalites are completely different and I hate the fact that I need to still get along with them for the next 6 months.

I'm starting to have horrable anxiety because of this.

I can't reconize any facial expressions of my parents because I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND ME! Their personlites are so cool, deadpan, boring, duel, serious. It's starting to scare me.

My father's wife (I don't even want to call her my step mother anymore) often is the most serious person. She is the one who keeps asking me QUESTIONS, SHE is the one who is most SERIOUS. My father on the other hand is like her but quiet and NEVER asks or says much of anything!


I feel my tools of survival is Humor. Not to make them laugh but to laugh at them. It's impossible now.

I don't know what to do now. It's impossibe to deal with.

well, you could answer her questions. That would change things a lot. I might be for the better, it might not, but at least you wouldn't be so stuck!

I hate that 'stuck' feeling, and found out that doing something, sometimes anything other than what I was doing really helped change situations. After all. . it's just for 6 months.

helpfully,
Merle

Short-timer's disease?

I don't know the background. What will change in six months?
Maybe, in the past, you had no hope and had to go into deeper denial,
and now that you have hope all the frustrations are starting to imerge?
