I'm 25 and live with my parents, but sometimes it feels like I live with strangers. I never feel more alienated than when I'm at home. I woke up this morning and walked past my father and said hey. My mother asked "did you say good morning to your father?" I was like yeah I said hey. Then my dad yells from the other room "It's ok, blame me, Jesus died on the cross for everyone too." So my dad likens me giving him a little silent treatment to crucifying him on a cross. I don't like feeling like I'm an asshole, I'm usually a kind person, but it's hard to cozy up to a man who gets angry and tells me to "get lost" when I express doubts about school and my future. So I decided to give him space. Am I being unfair? I just wanted to share this little slice of life. Alma
