this all started when my sister (19 years old) borrowed my parents toyota tercel saturday night, well my parents get a call from her at 3am saying that shes too sick to drive home and that she is at her friends melenies house, which is a 5 min drive from are house
well my parents borrow my car the next morning to see if she is really at her friends house....she wasn't, when she came home later that day my parents confronted her and the big fight started, she admited that she was at her boy friends place(lives 45 minutes away), well i came home later that night and my parents told me that she started going crazy and started throwing out dinner then proceded to punch my father when he was trying to stop her, well they ended up throwing her out of the house
ever since then she has bin staying at one of her friends mom's place and both my parents and my sister have bin calling (like at 1 in the morning) and fighting. My sister wants to come home but doesn't want to apoligize, and my parents won't let her in without one....she know's that she scewed up but yet she won;'t take responisibility.
this has bin very hard on my parents and me and as a result i'm not getting very much sleep!
if this continues i may move out!
thanks for letting me vent guys, i'm now going to atempt to go back to sleep........
this is really starting to piss me off!!!!

I feel for ya Nightowl.
Hopefully things will turn out alright, and your sister will see the light and apologize to your parents. Young people are very stubborn...I should know, I'm still young.
Try not to let it get to you so much, and try to divert the tension with your family by going out or doing something together to ease the tension. All it takes is one person to screw up in a family, and they end up taking everyone else down with them. I seen it happen many times.
btw what did your parents do to your sis when she punched your dad?
I know for a fact that if my sister, or any of us "kids" hit my father we'd DEFINATELY get a beat down.

Girls are a real handful these days.
Roundeye,
Hope your sister does sort something out with your folks.
We have been in the tearaway daughter situation and it's not pleasant. Tearaways do wake up. It just takes time and a LOT of patience. Fortunately we never did reach the hitting stage.
Hope it sorts soon, for your sake.

My younger sister and I were close growing up. We shared some of the same friends in high school (guys & gals). We even doubled dated on numerous occasions.
I guess it all in how your parents raised the kids. No offense to your parents, but that is part of the problem here. My father ruled the house like a drill instructor, plain and simple. We didn't screw up, so we didn't get punished. He was fair, honest and understanding. That taught us instant respect for our parents and the people around us. We learned at an early age the rules of the game and we followed them to a tee. I'm glad my old man was tough! I really honestly do. I'm a much better person for this.
Even to this day my sister (and all my siblings) are really close.
Two words that a human being has the hardest problem saying is...
I'm Sorry
Think about it for a second. Most people think saying "I'm Sorry" is a form of submission to another person or relaying a message of guilt. In fact that's the total opposite. Those two words make the world a much better place to live in.

Man your posts are taking longer than usual to read.
I wonder why?

Remember the Ehime Maru Japanese fishing boat that was destroyed in an instant by a nuclear sub a few years ago? The U.S. couldn't say I'm sorry because they felt it would be an admission of guilt, even though they really were sorry, and it was only an accident.

The captain of the SSN gave a news conference and openly admitted his mistake and said he was sorry for the loss of life that occurred to the Japanese people and to the family's impacted. Shortly after he resigned his commission.
I don't think Japan ever gave a sorry for bombing Pearl Harbor nor did the US for using nukes to end the war in the Pacific. hmmm
People in general, all people have a hard time saying they are sorry.
