June 6, 2012 Chains

Dear God,

I don't get people. Especially parents. I don't understand why people need to be in control all the time.
If you don't give someone freedom, they're just going to push against you harder until you have no control whatsoever.
That's the case for my folks and I.
They constantly use my age against me and tell me that as long as I'm under their roof, I have to abide by their rules.
Yeah okay I get it. But I deserve some freedom. I'm almost eighteen years old, I don't need their permission to do everything.
As much as they hate it, I'm not seven anymore.
I know I'm still young and maybe I'm being reckless. But I want freedom.
I'm honest with my parents all the time and tell them who I'm with and where I am. I hate when my mom goes crazy and needs to know every little detail.
The lack of trust is oozing from her.
It hurts me a lot. It also pisses me off. My mom and I are both stubborn people...
...And that's where we clash.
I want freedom and she wants tighter chains.
What's annoying is she turns my dad against me too.
Man I need a breather.
This is my rage for the day.
Please just make everything better God. I'm not doing anything I'm not supposed to be doing. Please help my parents relax and trust me. I know I've screwed up before but I learned from my mistakes.
People can change!
Look at me, I am not the person I was two years ago. I've taken a one eighty degree turn and I'm on the right path now.
I just need my parents to see that.

Love you,

Amen
