I've had it with my parents, I'm fucking done
Look, I'll get this off my chest, then that will be it. My country has a draft, I was going to get an exemption, my parents- Both navy veterans- Talked me out of it. So from their encouragement, I went, it ended up derailing my life and causing a breakup, losing a job, and a seizure. fair, my parents genuinely feel godawful about their encouragement, and my mother helped me leave slightly early, so I ended up doing about ten months, rather than a year.
I'd just gone 18 at the time and the pressure from family- Ranging from direct and firm, to this grating sort of "You'll have a great time" constant encouragemt from my mother, felt like a lot to bare, and I wasn't really in a position where I could say no without causing lots of drama in my family. But I need to be honest here: Their regret, support, and even love now simply aren't enough.
They've never been fucking enough! My dad feels terrible and I remember, one of the conversations, he didn't know what to say after we'd gone silent and feeling bad and all... He asked if I at least got to use any cool guns?? They threw me a party which meant very little to me, I hate to sound ungrateful but to be honestly, I'm not grateful for it
