		<description>I know you may not want to hear from me, but I felt I had to say something. You are exactly right in what you wrote. I remember when I was still living at home before my parents kicked me out how much I loved my parents and I knew they loved me too only that they didn't understand things and how normal parents should react. To this day even after they kicked me out, I still find it hard to get along with them, to talk to them about my life, treat them with respect, and most of all to visit and hang out with them from time to time, but I still love them even if it does hurt most of the time. 

Your second to last paragraph is so true. I used to say stuff like that all the time in my head and espectually in my journal. It's very hard dealing with parents who yell at you, mistreat you, are rude to you, and even punish you for just trying to be who you are...but threw it all...you realize that they love you so much, that is why they do it all to you and why they try so hard to make you be what they want you to be...if they could only understand...I know.

I am glad to see you have found a way to cope living there. I remember I went threw times when I forced myself to isolate and to stop thinking about it hoping it would all just go away or that I could not think about it and live in peace for a while. It would work for a few days of course and then it would all come crashing back down on me hard...I think it's like a pendgelem or recking ball...you push it away from you and in the time that it swings your fine, but then when it turns around and comes back...it hits you really hard.

However I realize you know and realize all that from your post...and I am glad to see that you realize that it will never go away...Good luck in your life Sophie and keep your chin up...your doing the best you can with what you got...and for what it's worth...I am proud of you.
