Hey, I'm trying too...

4:05 p.m. & 2005-12-13

I'm getting frustrated with the way things are with Walter.

All he likes to talk about is his future, and his SAT scores, and how smart he is...

He hasn't even asked about my college applications, or if I've heard back.

He shows 0 interest in my future or plans.

It hurts.

It doesn't help that my family couldn't really care less either.

I made it into the U of U and no one so much as batted an eye. Not that it's a hard college to get into, but still.

I want some recognition...I want my family to let me know they're proud of me. They've said it to me once that I can remember, and that was after they told Walter how proud they were of him. I was a side note.

I want Walter to be proud of me and acknowledge that my future is important to. Not just his. That we don't always have to talk about him and his future.

But no, he hasn't asked about it, and he won't. He's way to pre-occupied with himself.

And I can't talk to him about how stressed out I am about getting into OU...that would be stressing him out more about his plans and his future.

And my parents don't care...they seem upset that I want to go to OU.

I think the only person that knows that I made it into the U is Ashley. She was happy for me.

Walter gets so much incouragement to get into college, and about everything else he does.

And I just stand his shadow. Wishing that when someone brough up college, they wouldn't focus just on Walter...

God I know how whiney this all is. But I'm really upset about it. And I have no one I can reasonably talk to. My parents just piss me off "Don't worry about it, just stay here and live with us". And Walter gets frustrated when I bring me being upset because I'm "always upset".

Sorry for this.
