My parents don't quite get me either, especially my dad. they are supportive in some ways and restrictive in others. For example, my dad didn't want to get me a cable box for fear that I would watch more TV (as if that were possible lol). I had to convince him that I am grown and it should be my decision how much TV I watch, even if he doesn't agree with that decision. He reluctantly gave in, but it took work on my behalf. The point is, sometimes they mistake my PTSD symptoms for childlike qualities and try to control me. It often seems like they don't even try, so i fear asking them to do things like read the forum. I'd think I am not worth it if they said no.
So, I just gathered all my courage and asked my mom to read it... she actually said yes! My dad... still scared but 1 out of 2 ain't bad.
Anyway, Thanx for this Thread as the advice offered here helped me. I might even send my dad a link if I can figure out how.
Take care mightsurvive and thanx again for the help.
