where is the independence?
On 11th of June, I graduated from high school! I was so happy that I graduated, with 3 of my best friends. My teacher, Dr. Shire is retiring this year!
Dr. Shire has to be my favorite person in the world! She is my 2nd mother. For 4 to 5 years, she has been pushing, encouraging and there to talk to me. Dr. Shire, I will always look up to for her thoughts, wisdom, and jokes. She can see that I can be smart and be on my own. Dr. Shire KNOWS I can do anything on my own, not causing a mess. Unlike my mother.
Jess, Minwoo and Kasey. Are the fucking best friends and siblings I can ask for. They has been there through 4 years of bad and good times in High School. They are the ones who texted me in the morning, pushing me up to come to school just to learn. I fuckin love them kids, just because they pushed and encouraged me to finish high school. They knew my condition, but did not care and pushed me out of my sick sub-conscience to finish.
Mary, lastly I have to thank her. All the times I cry and need to rant. I go to Mary. Sometimes she doesn't understand, but she is very patient. She still gives me good words to go through High School, and finish the years on good terms. Thank you Mary, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU.
I am really frustrated right now.
I am trying to have some fun after graduation. But All I get is yelling from my mom, saying I am heartless, mean and stupid.
I emailed her last night, saying I have a friend coming from Ohio thinking it didn't matter to ask her first because my mom forgets what I ask, and doesn't respond for a long time. Plus, I do not communicate well, VERY WELL with my mom.
My friend is coming here primarily because my fellow graduates and I had an original plan to go to the beach. Now, because all of our parents doesn't trust that we are legally "adults" and that we can make plans on our own. We cannot do anything and We had to put up the friend in a hotel in Philadelphia just to figure out our senior week.
I have NO independence, because "I am deaf" means "I make a mess." by planning. I cannot sign with my mom, She has to understand me by email. I cannot do anything on my own, I have to let Mom know where/what I am going/doing. it's like I am a kid having no fun all over. I am nineteen, Jesus Christ. My friends are eighteen, nineteen.
Looks like this year is one hell of a year going through a fight with mom.
