I need someone to talk to.

[BrianKing]

Hey every one as you know I have not been on the board in a while I am going through a lot right now. My dad moved out about a year ago he moved just up the street He told me I could come and see him every day and he would see me. Well about three months after he moved he stoped seeing me he would talk to me sometimes but not a lot. He started talking to this lady who turned my dad against me. Its been about eight or nine months sence I have really spent some time with him. Every time I try and call him he allways says he is to busy to do any thing. Well two weeks ago I asked him what he was doing cause I saw him bring home a lot of boxes He told me he was putting some stuff in storage. It turns out he was lieing to me he was moving out of his house and the lady was going to movie with him about an hour away. I know I will never see him now. And the really weird part about it is I found his girl friend on the internet looking to meet someone else look her is her yahoo personals profile http://personals.yahoo.com/us/person...8229745-924002 I printed it out and showed him he got mad at me and he is still going to move in with her even thow she is looking for someone else. I just needed to let it out and tell someone how I am feeling. I am sorry for the spelling.

It's probably not best to put her profile on here.... My father lives with his mother, my grandmother, about 4 or so hours away... I live in Reno, NV, and they live in Sacramento, Cali. Much too far to visit often enough... My father moved out when I was in kindergarten... Well, he was more or less kicked out by my grandfather (who has passed away since) on my mothers side. I know it can be tough, and well, in elementry, I'd hear things like "What do you think about having a little step brother/sister" (from a woman that was around my father), or things like "What do you think about me getting a bf?" or "Would you like some brothers?" (from my mother, meaning step-brothers). It was for the better for my father to move, though things that happened for some years after that were not so great, and my sister and I had to learn how to cope, sometimes even on our own.

Brian, I believe that you may be trying to speak to the wrong people... It is great to hear what other people have to say, but I believe you should be talking to your birds. They more than likely are able to feel what you are feeling, though may not understand what it means, so you should be talking to them... Am sorry to hear about your finches, too.

I hope that things get better for you, and well, I find it best to try to seek comfort from birds, or animals in general....

I am really sorry to hear how things are going for you, Brian. When I was 17 my parents split up and in their anger towards each other, sometimes us kids got the brunt of it. I hope things get better for you.

As Monica said, luckily you have birds to take care of - sometimes taking care of other animals or people can help us to feel better.

Best wishes,
Michele and Humphrey

Mine should have split up IMO, for good, probably after the first date :) ........but then of course ya'll wouldn't have me now, would ya :?:

Did I just supply Crebain with ammunition or what?

Hang in there Brian, like everyone said, devote your time & energies to your birds etc. and I'm sure you will wind up on top. Btw, I could always use another hand with this bird Sanctuary/Rescue/Attraction/etc.....that we hope to get going one of these days.....

Brian,

My parents split when I was 13 and I wish I'd had friends like we have on this board to talk to. You have a lot of people pulling for you here. For what it's worth, one of the things I've learned down through the years is that my parents' behavior wasn't about me. It was more about them and what they were doing to try to get their needs met. It sure did make a mess, but that wasn't my fault. Being a teenager makes it especially hard, because you're somewhat at their mercy. Are you able to talk with your Mom? I know she's probably dealing with her own pain over the situation, but she might be a good one to be able to help you sort this out. Please keep posting whenever you feel like it. As you can see, many of us have been through similar situations and are here for you.

Chin up, that "lady" is not going to be a part of your dad's life for very long. Her profile lists that she has NO preferences EXCEPT "full-time employment". What does that tell you? :shock:

You, (on the other hand) will always be your Dads' kid, and sooner or later - he will realize that. In the meantime, just realize nobody is perfect, (love is blind - and apparently stupid) and try to be patient. Good luck.
