Morals?

Rate: 2 Flag

School's out, my friends, former classmates and I are plotting horrible ways to crash our "friend's" future wedding (and somehow he found out and is beyond pissed), and quite frankly, I feel like I lost some of my morals.

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure most of the worst ideas came from me - and if they didn't, they were sparked by me.

Plus, you'd think I'd feel bad for leaving my mom next month but I don't. I did before, but lately, she's been extremely uptight and bitchy. Everything I do is wrong, even if it's what she wanted me to do. I can't stand to even look at her anymore and my sense of emotional security is depleted. I can't even say "Hi" without her turning it into a bitch fit. That's exactly why I don't tell her anything and why I'm trying to get out of the house as much as possible.

Tomorrow I'm going to go grab an application and [hopefully] snag that job. I also plan to hang out with a friend who I never really hang out with. He's also someone my mom thinks I have a crush on - my sister thinks so, too, and she and my mom were talking about it. Whatever. I'd rather have her think that than know about Eric - for now, at least.

I don't feel bad about either of these things. The wedding crash has been making me laugh all day and I hope to god someone can talk some sense into Whipped before we have to do the things we planned. And about my mom, I feel rather indifferent. She's the reason I'm leaving sooner than I originally planned. I thought maybe she'd loosen up a little after the party, but if anything, she's more uptight.

But, once I'm out, she's apparently leaving my step dad... like she's threatened literally fifty or more times before.

Change is fine, but everything is changing drastically, quickly and at the same damn time. I'll get used to it, but it's a lot to take in. Even if it means changing some of my morals.

Addicted, the morals issue, so hard, heart and mind breaking. I can totally relate with your story here, I am wishing you to get the job and your emotional safety and soon be where ever you want. Changing for the better is the best thing, but this is hard. I totally feel you,thank you for sharing,cause your feelings, made me feel that I am not alone in mine. Rated!!!
Re the wedding- don't do it. The best way you guys can help Whipped is to support him. You don't have to agree with him but he needs to know he can count on you so that when the worst happens he's got somewhere to go. Sabotaging the wedding could drive him away. Think how you'd feel if you lost him from your life over this.

And parents. If you skim around OS you see we all have those issues. When do you head to Dad's?
Phyllis - We're trying to talk him down now, since someone told him about it all. The best "talk" came from the one who I least expected it from but he has similar experience. If I lost him over this, I probably wouldn't notice because his girlfriend doesn't let him talk to us anyway so he's already pretty much gone.

Next month sometime. I'm getting pretty excited! :D
