yeah i'd do the same, but my dad would get seriously pissed off at me and probably send me up to my room or argue with me more. I don't really want to get into his bad moods. He can blow up big time if i did something wrong like accidently spilling a drink. I mean I love my dad but sometimes he's a hot head.

i can understand that. my father used to be the same way. he had quite a temper and would get angry at the smallest things.

Same. <sad> My dad kept making fun of blind people at dinner tonight. <mad>

It also reminds me of some of the kids in my grade in high school that would make rape jokes. <not funny>

I suggested to him to put braille signs on the bathrooms. That triggered a whole one act on blind people this, blind people that. <mad> (And don't forget he's still in denial about my blindness so he sees me as sighted.)

if my father did that to me, i'd leave the room crying. i don't think i could deal with that coming from my own flesh and blood.

I don't mind out all you saying that. I've just learned not to have very high expectations of "my own flesh and blood." My family makes fun of my PTSD symptoms all the time. That gets to me more.

that's sad. i'm sorry to hear that. <hugs>

my parents are deceased, so i have no idea how they would react to my ptsd or bipolar diagnoses. when i was misdiagnosed with major depressive disorder in the early 90s, my father didn't care, but my mother was a little more understanding.

Sometimes my parents make me not want to have children.

How do you think they would have reacted?

yepp...same here.. But eventually we'd stop being mad and forgive each other. I'm kind of like my dad. I'd would get stubborn too. Like my dad. But I'd stop, and think twice. And forgive.

My other pet peeve:

When the cinemas have CCs availble for deaf people, They make me dizzy. I pefer watching the captions on the tv. And when the cinemas don't have CCs, and i'd have to sit near the speakers, they're so loud i can barely make any words off of that. and I could understand a few words from my CI and HA but not alot of words i could understand.

i edited my post above and added more information.

i think my mother would be understanding about my bipolar, but not my father. my father was egotistical and only cared about himself. i hate to say that about someone who is deceased, but that's the way i feel.

as for my ptsd, i don't think either of them would accept the fact that i have it. if i told them i was diagnosed with the disorder, they would have immediately questioned me as to the reasons why i had it and denied they had any responsibility for causing it.

I'm glad you didn't have to face their denial then, although it would have probably helped you a lot to know about your PTSD earlier on. That's my issue too -- my parents say "how can you have PTSD?" which forces me down a whole road I don't want to go with them.

Parents also have a hard time understanding they're a part of anything with their children. If you live with someone for 18 years (or in my case 15) you can't not have anything to do with your child's problems. I wish more parents could own their mistakes and then try to learn from them.

it must be so frustrating to have your parents react that way. i don't blame you for not even wanting to go there. i wouldn't either.

i also wish parents would learn from their mistakes. at least their children could grow up healthier and happier that way.

It's ironic -- parents don't want to believe their children have been hurt and end up hurting their children by denying them.
 
Parents who only recognize their parenting style as the best and most correct way to raise a child.
