It's hard though and I feel like I'm being blackmailed into staying with him. My parents would snap if they heard anything I've ever done behind their backs. Not that I'm a bad person or anything. I mean I have a job, I'm going to school, and I get good grades, but just like every teenager has his/her flaws, I have mine. And they wouldn't understand me even if I tried to talk to them. My parents & I don't get along at all. My dad went to jail when I was a child for abuse on me. He has since got out, and hasn't laid a finger on me since he had done jailtime, but he either acts like I don't exist or blames everything on me and screams at me. I don't understand why my mom took him back... Me and my mother somewhat get along, but very rarely. Whenever we fight she threatens to take my cell phone, computer, music, tv, or Matt away. She's even went so low as to go into my wallet and take money out that I earned, and then lie right to my face. And they have a terrible habit of believing everyone else over me. They don't believe a single word I say. If Matt told them the things I've done, they'd believe him and find that as one more reason they could make my life hell.

Most of the time I sit in my room and listening to music by myself, or I'm at work. But either way, I always isolate myself because I can't walk into one room without an argument getting started. I hate my life anymore... I feel so alone....
