parents = lack of communication

[POSITIVE YOUTH]

i've tried to make it as simplistic as possible

that my dad being overweight is the same as me having a receding hairline

he just doesn't understand
you just can't communicate with parents who don't have male pattern baldness
they just think you're so freaked up in the head
like you're walking schitzophrenia
middle finger to father

"you cover your hairline the same as me , with bangs"

yeah but these bangs are dissappearing, mother

frustration= 10

Yeah well its the same when you get older.

Wait till you try to explain to your girlfriend as your opening your box of hair products that just arrived why you spent $50 a bottle for stuff for your hair (Tricomin).

Or better yet, as your hunched over a mirror with a razor cutting up your Proscar. It leaves white lines of powder........

Now that was fun for me to explain when we first started living together and I forgot to clean up the mirror. I left it on the coffe table, mirror, powder and razor.

Hey it's good to see you posting over here man. Welcome to the other forum.

people who are not balding just don't understand...

POSITIVE YOUTH, first off, even though you may not believe that your Dad understands your challenge, remember that you have many bridges that are built between the two of you. Don't b**ch about the bridges that aren't there but rather try crossing over the bridges that you've already got built. Count yourself very fortunate that you've got a Dad that cares about you. There's tons of kids your age that don't have Dads that care like yours does. Choose your battles well. And remember that your Dad is NOT your enemy but rather your ally and really does care for you and what matters to you.

You seem to know alot about bridges. Have you ever built one before?

 

[Greg1]

You'd be amazed at how many I've built and how many I've crossed! Of course, I'm not an actual physical builder but prefer to build in the spirit. To be sure not every "bridge" that I build is the best but I'm learning to build stronger and more safe ones all the time

 

[VWdude]

If you ever need a hand building a bridge or crossing one just drop me a line!

 

[Greg1]

Thanks VWdude as I can definitely see that you've got lots of exprience buidling strong bridges

Yeah Cassin, I got banned for bumping Gunner threads. A depature without goodbyes.

This is true Greg, it just is hard when we appear to make progress in understanding and then one day later, any progress made is gone as if he forgot our conversation.

What does that mean

POSITIVE YOUTH, you have got to accept that your Dad loves and cares for you. Aside from everything else, if you accept that, everything else will follow. Remember that you are at a major transition in your life and tons of stuff around you and in you is in a state of flux and change. Your Dad though, on the other hand, is settled and therefore can offer you strength during your rapid change. Some "bridges" that you know are there may at times appear to be knocked down due to the changes that you're going through but if you accept the fact that your Dad cares for you, then they are there.
