Tonight at Dinner

What happened tonight at dinner

Tonight I was sitting at the dinner table, already upset from my mom yelling at me when I didn't answer my phone.  Then, when we got home, they made me eat some really nasty pizza.  Mom bought me tea, which I love, but she got me the only kind I don't like.  She was angry with me for not liking that tea and made me trade my brother.  We were eating breadsticks with our pizza and they tasted really good, so I got some more.  My dog was begging and I smacked him like my dad told us to do.  My mom looked at me and yelled "What was that for!? He wasn't doing anything wrong! How would you like it if I smacked you!?"  I said that I wasn't hungry and I put my tea in the fridge and rinsed off my plate, which I put in the dishwasher.  I started towards the stairs so that I could go up to my room and cry in peace, but my mom shouted at my back that if I holed up upstairs I would be grounded.  I turned into the living room and sobbed without making any noises into my couch.  My dad told me that I wasn't dismissed from the table and I couldn't leave until he said so.  I sat back down at the table, where I was almost forced to eat another slice of pizza.  Instead, my mom got up and threw her own temper tantrum and then fed my dogs treats.  My dad said I wasn't going to leave the table if I was angry.  There were only two people left at the table besides me: My dad and my brother.  My brother stood up and went to clean off his plate.  My dad began comparing me to my older sister, who really wasn't a good person.  I hate it when they do that.  They only look for the bad things in me.  My dad told me I could get up and I ran upstairs as he said he and mom yelled that they didn't want me in my room all night.  I got to my room just as I started to fall apart.  I couldn't even keep it together with them watching.  My defenses are falling down.  With the door closed, I screamed my sorrow into the blankets.  Why couldn't my parents actually care for once?  Why couldn't they get along unless they were yelling at me?  What's wrong with me?  Why am I still stuck here in the life I hate so much....

Trust me, there are worse things. But still, this is really depressing to read, i can compare a little bit. And just to make you feel better, they way you described it, made me feel like i was in the room with you. ( i wasn't though, so don't get freaked out!)
But, hey dude, good job!

This is so sad. My parents yell at me all the time too Taylor so you're not alone.
