Nosferatu

Man, I know what you're going through. Feels like you've entered a haunted house and the goddam ghosts don't even wanna speak to you. I kept finding it harder and harder to come home, until I decided to just move my stuff out of there before my parents decided to sell it.

It fucking blows, man. I guarantee this is one part of your life that you'll never forget, and it's going to change you forever. Live has become a battle that you're going to face all on your own. You're gonna get a few blows here and there, but you'll get stronger along the way.

I'll fire you something in the mail, although it might not be cash.

Also, you need to start standing up to your mother about your money. Just because you're getting raped up the ass, it doesn't mean you should put up with it.

Richie, You say you work at Target. Is that the Target in Garner? If so, it isn't that far from the Hotel on the right side of the road going toward it if you are coming from hwy 70. It isn't a bad place, not to old yet. I think 10 years at best and they rent rooms weekly. I think it's like $200 a week and that is lights and cable included. It's not that far from Target either so if you don't have a car you could even walk there or bike it if you had to. There is a small stove and fridge in the rooms also.

It's not much but hey, it would get you out from under your mothers control and you would be close to work and live on your own for a change. Just a thought is all.

Richie, all things do pass. This too shall pass. And it's times like these that build character. You shall see. And who knows, maybe one day your mother will spearhead a way to tumble Bethel. You do have half her genes, you know.

I hate reading all this s___ your family's putting you through, Richie. FlyingHigh's right - it's character building - you'll emerge from this a very tough nut to crack. I just hope you don't end up TOO tough in the wrong ways - like some sort of emotionless Vulcan, shielding yourself from the good emotive stuff, as well as the bad. That's what happened to me, two decades ago, as I struggled with family and controlling religion. At 40 something, I'm still somewhat emotionally repressed. You seem to have more nous than I did, and balls of steel. I think you've got it in you to make it!

It's a storm that will blow over soon you have been very brave up to now defying the power of the borg.

It's a tough row to hoe Richie, but in time the veggies will taste great.

Your in my thoughts dude.

HI Richie,

It WILL get better. Once you move out, you can work on repairing the relationship with your parents. I don't think your mom hates you - she's probably just sad and disappointed. It may take time, but I bet she'll come around.

thinking about you. You will look back in time and be both proud and grateful for what you have done.

Hang in there, Richie, and remember we are here for you.

It will get better soon, I'm sure.

Stay strong Richie. My parents tried to do the same thing, even after I married my husband when I was 27. It will get better, believe that you will survive. You're such a strong person and you know we're all pulling for you.
