Same...I've been through shit like this and now I don't speak to my stepdad or live w/ him and my mother. I don't think a guitar would bring me home either.

cant emphasize anymore than that.

personally, i'd stand beside my mother. if my mother had something to say, it would basically be coming out of my mouth and my dad would know i meant business.

WAY LESS SERIOUS, but my mom walked out on us one day a long time ago. i was about 16. she didn't come back for 3 days and it was over absolutely nothing. she just got pissed over a debate (not an argument) and took off. i didn't say anything to her for like 2 weeks when she came back. and when she did finally talk to me i laid out 2 weeks of anger on her and let her know that our family wasn't some piece of furniture you can get rid of whenever you want to. family is family, at the end of the day it's all you got. you have to stand up for yourself.

i agree

if i was in this situation and my mom or dad, tried to buy me off after something like this. i would become more heated. essentially they are treating you like an idiot.

Well come on... I'm sure the guy is going to try to make ammends with his father about the whole situation. And on a side note... all you guys are being hypocrites. The world doesn't always act the way people "think/want".

I'm sure his father isn't trying to buy his love/forgiveness... well not totally. I'm sure they'll talk and work through the hardships, with or without his mother. But fucking christ! Why not get a totally sweet guitar outa it?

I would think something as important as a relationship in a family, especially as parent-child relationship is the top priority. Basically when it comes to something as deep as a family (which obvisouly doesn't apply to all families. relationship/emotionally strained families), personal desires need to be put aside. You can't satisfy yourself when you still have things in your way, and things you have to deal with - which is the general feeling of most of the people in this thread. Certain things just come first before one's self - let alone one's desires

now Machtimus you definately have your head on straight. I couldn't have said it any better then that. That was perfect. :thumbsup:

Taking that guitar is just wrong. If you have any morals tell your dad he can shove the money up his ass and you aren't just some kinda money whore.

i can understand you not agreeing w/ us. i don't completely understand how you don't see this as his dad trying to buy his love, i can even understand how you would want to get the guitar. but nowhere in anyone's conversation can i fathom how we are hypocrites. i think you used the word hypocrites cause you read it in a book somewhere. do you even know the meaning of it? cause nothing anyone has said has proven them to be hypocrites. go to http://www.dictionary.com. they'll help you out.

ok people. when my dad apologized to me, i accepted. then he asked what he can do or buy for me to make me feel better. he wants to do it. it wasnt like "dad, im not forgiving you unless you buy me this guitar". nothing like that, we talked it over and he asked if he could get me sumthing i really wanted or do sumthing for me because he wants me to know that he is willing to sacrifice alot of his money because he really loves me and our family. so thats my story after seeing the last few pages of posts

Ok, ui get it, then you are just the kkind of persont hat would exploit a situation like this for personal gain rather than be mature abnout it.
It's blatently obvious who the 15yr olds in this thread are.
why dont you tell him to take the $4k he was going to spend on a guitar, and go seek some counseling.

And me personally, if my dad was cheating on my mom for 2 years, i wouldnt talk to him for a logn time. I mean, 2 yrs, that means he isnt sorry he did it, he's just sorry he finally got caught. Guilt tends to sink in earlier than 24 months.

Appfro · Unread post by **Appfro** » Tue Aug 23, 2005 9:42 am

i don't really agree w/ you either tb, but in the end it's your decision. i mean this is hard no doubt for you and your family. and i don't mean to give you so much shit cause i know you're probably goign through a hard time right now. i just wanted to give you my 2 cents and i got a little carried away w/ it. either way, good luck w/ it all man, i hope you make what you think is the right decision and i hope things work out for you and your dad and your family.

...but i'm still mad at pacs for not knowing what a hypocrite is!
