Hey, I'm new here

Hey all, a friend of mine gave me a link to this site and I thought it might be useful just to talk.

I'm Matt, 17, from England. I'm not really quite sure what to post but I'll probably end up rambling, hope to get to know a few of you. I don't know if any of you care much, but my rant will probably be about my boyfriends parents.

They are, quite bluntly put, selfish, self-centred and (I don't know if this is the right word) but arrogant/ignorant (I always get the two mixed up). My parents know about me and my boyfriend and are fine with it all. He came out to his parents at the start of this year and since then they've done nothing but try to split us up.

After coming out to them, his parents said to him "We'll do nothing to encourage nor discourage it". What a lie that was. Since then, they've limited him to how many times he can go out a week (or certainly if I'm going to the same place, anyway), lost temper with him really easily and blaming him for things. Previous to coming out, if he wanted to call me or was on the phone to me it'd be alright. But since then, everytime he wants to they say he can't use the phone, or if he is on the phone his mum says she wants to use it or it's costing too much money. So I'll call him back, but she'll still use the excuse "oh it'll cost Matt's parents too much".

Recently, against my boyfriends wishes, his parents dragged him away to Wales for a week "holiday". Dispite the fact they knew they wouldn't see him, he wouldn't enjoy it and he wanted to stay at home. During the time he was there he stayed at a friends caravan and didn'y really see his family (point in him going I may ask?).

And to top things off, a month ago his dad and mine had an argument when his dad turned up drunk to take him home one night. You know, driving to pick one of your children up and then driving home. Real clever. I won't go into it, because that night I cried the most I've done in years, I was shaking and worried about it for weeks afterwards.

Anyway, not the greatest of introduction thread hey, pretty depressing. Ah well. Hi everybody, rant over :')

PS: Hi Joe

 

Thanks SurferDude
No Joe, we're just friends

 

<3 And thanks to everyone
And Mickey you're so right, Josh just gets annoyed with them and even considered moving out... They can't control this, he is what he is and that's that. I guess we'll just have to live through it though
