as of now, he sounds fairly genuine, open to share his problems with the community. That alone makes him respectable in my book. :beer:

just go to church on Christmas day. it'll be a good opportunity to learn about the meaning behind Christmas, and why it is so significant to some people. 🙂

Just to be off the topic. I decided that this would be the perfect time to let out all my thoughts, I had gotten in an arguement with my parents a little while ago an decided to move out I am only seventeen
so i had to sign a bunch papers wich i am still in the process of going through. So i moved out come to find out my parents dont really want me around for chirstmas they said that i could go with them to my relatives house with them but thats about it and to top it off the people im staying with just ran out of money so theyre christmas went to hell as far as presents go. And im also out of money to buy gifts for friends and family so that also made christmas go to hell too when christmas comes i think ill spend with my friend kevin sipping coffee and watching tv.

if there others out wanting to complain about the holidays feel free.
i decided to write this so others can get theyre feelings out.

also if you have any suggestions to making my christmas better let me know.

The holidays is a great time to mend your relationship with your folks.

They extended the olive branch by inviting you to a family function, I suggest you take it and enjoy it for what it is - you're folks trying to mend what's broken.

to me x-mas isn't about presents, its about family - something that can never be bought.

Maybe they can't understand you because you never learned to use punctuation.
 
I didn't call you a dickwad, I only said there is a possibility that you are one since we are only getting one side of the story. 😉

I left home when I was 17 and never looked back. I joined the Army and spent 3 glorious years wearing the green. 😀 I had my share of lonesome Christmas's and birthdays, some with people trying to blow me up or shoot me. :Q Your situation isn't nearly as dire, so may I suggest you spend Christmas helping others who are less fortunate than you? Homeless shelters need people to help and seeing how far gone some of those people are may trigger something in you. Maybe. 😛
 
It's a good idea to wait until after Christmas to talk to your parents about moving back home. Maybe there's a way to mend the family situation even though you don't see eye-to-eye with them. What was the big argument about?
 
You need to go and talk to your parents... your mom did not want you to go, she will let you back in and help you win over your father... then.. whether they need counselling or not, you should get some.. then when you are ready, move out on good terms.

I bet your mom is miserable without you for X-Mas.

If you cannot do that, then find a local shelter and spend the day serving food and washing dishes... it is a very humbling and spiritually edifying experience.

🙂
 
seriously i'd also try to grab a job at your local mall... pay should be more around this time of the year. just take it one step at a time and good luck.

alright here goes....

I left, moved out, told mom and dad they were terrible and I couldn't take it anymore.

Then I grew up and realized all they did for me and what true unconditional love is (which is probably what they have for you). Your pop was being a hard ass (like all pops are) and called your bluff, which escalated into the situation you are in.

Mend the ties with your family. You only have one.
