Wow, after such a long time, I post art!

Well... photo manipulation.... so psuedo art? lol....

Anyway, this piece has a long explination behind it, but I don't have the time for the details.... I will say this, though:



My father is a controlling, manipulative, tyrannical dictator.



These are all the things I wish I could tell him.... I'm 20, going on 21, and he still controls me and even has my life mapped out--if it were up to him, I'd remain home, alone, and proabably take care of him until he grows old and dies. He even prefers me not to date until I'm 30+ years of age and is also racist--wants me to date only whites. (No, he doesn't know about my boyfriend, and I prefer to keep it that way...)

I want to leave... but I can't and he's on my bank account so he has access to my money.... I tried leaving once before and he took my money--he still owes me some of it....


I enjoyed making this piece... was a form of catharsis in a way.

Oh you poor thing :hug: I hope everything works out for you. I had issues with my step-monster growing up...but luckily I was able to get out of the situation - I ran away when I was 16, and never went back. I don't feel sorry about it though...led to a LOT of great poetry ;) Oddly enough, I started talking to her for the first time in 9yrs this past summer...very strange. We're somewhat friends now :confused:

Maybe you could start saving up seperately? Not put any more money in that joint account. I don't know. But this piece is really sad then...thinking about out "caged" at home.

That's the thing, my dad deposits my checks in the account and I don't have an ATM pin number to take money out--I just had a credit card that takes money directly out when I pay for things. (Kinda like debit but it's not--I just don't get a bill.)

As for running away, I tried that once back in Feb 2007--that's when he took my money, more than half that was in my account. 3 days later I had no choice but to return home. Thing was, I was happy to come home. =/ I couldn't sleep or eat for those 3 days--he's made me extremely dependant on him and being out of my home makes me break down and feel very sickly. ><

Thank you for the comments on the piece, too. Sat here in the morning and worked on it for an hour or two straight.

He deposits your checks himself? That's just not right. You can tell your employer not to let him have it, and then go to a check cashing place. It'll cost you, but that way you'd have some cash of your own. Or you can take the check to the bank yourself, open up a new account & put it in there. There has to be some way for you to get out from under his...wing. I don't actually suggest running away though, it's just that I did. But...well you're an adult, so it's not like your could really "run away" anyway...It would probably be nice if you could have a seperate bank account though - unless it's a joint because you had some financial mishaps and tend to spend more than you have without help. I don't know though..so I'll stop :D

Nah, it's joint from back in jr high when he used to save money for me for college.

Thing is, the place he deposits my checks is across the street from his work. =/ And I cannot drive, so yeah. >_>

Besides, I don't make enough to be on my own anyway--minimum wage and no one to move out with. =/

Darn. Well...good luck with things. You'll find a way...You just have to find a place to start :hug: I hope something works out for you. In the mean time, at least it should inspire some nice images & food for thought from you ;)

I like it, it is very expressive and i hope that your condition will improve as time goes by
