Parents: The Anti-Drug - May 15, 2008
When you were 18 what rules did your parents have? A curfew? Keep your room clean? No drinking, probably. They all seem pretty reasonable, right? Did they also ever try to force to do something you didn't want to do? Something you felt you should be able to decide for yourself? You probably told them to fuck off, right? And they couldn't do anything, except maybe kick you out.
Recently I've been having problems with my parents. They still think that they should be able to dictate what medications I should take, or the amount of water I should drink. I'd like to think I'm pretty in tune with my body. I'm always the first to know when something is wrong and I know what to do. So I don't think it's terribly unreasonable for me to decide what goes into my body. Especially now that I'm a legal adult. But what can I do when they decide they're going to give me a medicine? Swat it away? Run away? I'm reduced to screaming, "NONONONO!" Like a goddamn child. But they just push it in through the feeding tube. It's frustrating as fuck when you can't have any control over your life. And I guaran-fucking-tee this wouldn't happen if I could walk.
