She’s Incapable Of Keeping A Secret
August 18, 2009 | Filed under Family & Friends
So it turns out that not only is my mother incapable of leaving my things alone, but she’s also incapable of keeping a secret.
My father hasn’t said anything to me yet, but I’m sure it can only be a matter of time. I’m hoping that the fact that he hasn’t said anything is a good sign – surely if he was totally enraged, I would already have been kicked out of the house? On the other hand, he might simply be biding his time in silent anger – I could come home from work tomorrow to find all the locks changed and my possessions on the curb.
I’m trying to stay optimistic, but oh, the suspense!

Hang in there. You have the support of all your wonderful friends. To say it’s not easy is an understatement, but know that we’re all here for you too.

*hugs* I’m sorry. I know you trusted your mother and everything, but obviously she doesn’t know how to keep your trust. *sighs* Like Michael has said, hang in there. You have friends and of course Dylan to fall back on if things turn ugly. I hope it won’t, but one can never know in this crazy world.

Unless he’s waiting for you to make the first move?

About once every week or so, Mike sits down and checks out his RSS. Most of the stuff is Smashing Magazine-esque, but you’re on there too.
Last Night—
Him: Amanda blogged “Tonight I told my mom Dylan is my boyfrend.” That’s it. That’s the whole blog. *shocked face*
Me: *laughing inside* I know. (thinking: and now I know why). Go read the next post; you’re so behind.
I thought you might find that funny.
As for the newest development, wait until things are calm and you feel you can deal with it and then sit down with him and talk it out. If you feel your mom would be on your side, have her there. If not, do it one-on-one. We’re here for you either way.

I know you’ve had a few of these now but heres another one *hugs*!
We’re all here for you! Good luck with whatever happens, it will be ok.

I think I agree with Jem here, perhaps he is actually treating you in an adult-to-adult manner rather than scorning-dad-to-rebellious-daughter and waiting for you to approach him first and talk things out calmly.
Least hopefully relatively calm. Good luck!

Seriously, what’s with Asian parents and their general dislike for their daughters dating? I just don’t get it. Basically, I’m going through the same damn thing, but fortunately, my dad does not know anything yet. It’s been almost three years.

Ouch. I hope you figure out what to do and everything works out. Hopefully the next blog is a pleasant one and your father takes it as well as he can. Perhaps your mother telling him was a good thing and he’s had time to relax before you break the news to him. Good luck!

=( maybe it’s better that you didn’t have to tell him? I really hope everything works out and like others have said you have your friends.

Shoot. I’ve gotten to the point with my mom where… if I tell her something, even not a big deal, she tells everyone about it. And it’s not even like she tells everyone my story, she elaborates and extrapolates and makes untrue assumptions… and then she tells everyone HER version of my story.
I definately understand the difficulties in the whole family communication thing. Hope everything goes alright for you!

Best of luck. <3

Aww, I’m sure that if he was REALLY enraged he would have said something by now. He’s probably dealing with it internally… which is a good sign, he’s taking his time and thinking about it instead of immediately :) hang in there though, it should be okay. And as for your mother chucking your financial records out… wtf O_o, my mother would like, PAY me to keep note of mine :\ (okay so not quite, but you get what i mean).

Good luck with that. My dad practically disowned me when he found out about my sexual relations. We couldn’t talk properly for ages. :(

Good luck, Amanda. Perhaps, like others have stated before me, he is just trying to treat you in an adult manner. My parents used to get angry at me whenever they found out I had a boyfriend, mostly because I would never tell them outright. But with Royce, I decided I’d show them just how headstrong and independent I was by telling them about him in a way where it was clear that I wasn’t asking them for their permission or their opinion on him.

Oooh sounds ominous. Hopefully all’s fine :) Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Shamefully though, I didn’t read that marketing titled post -.- See I have this (un)natural allergy towards everything finance and economy related, so when I saw the quote I just clicked out. Now I can’t believe I’ve been so stupid. *shifty look*
Vera on August 20, 2009 #
He knows and you’re still alive and has not been disowned… I take it that’s a good sign. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Really sorry to hear about that!!! Fingers crossed!!!
