Of course, everything is always my fault.

I'm so mad, and upset that I can't even calm down. I'm supposed to be spending the holiday with my family in a couple hours, but I don't even know if I want to go anymore. Last night we were going to use my mother's Christmas bonus to go out to dinner, but it didn't turn out to well. She originally suggested pizza, but that's just not very healthy, and the leftovers would just get wasted, so I suggested going out to eat at a restaurant. Well she wanted to go to a steak house that used to be my favorite place to go, but they completely changed their menu earlier this year, and since then I've not been able to enjoy going there. I expressed my concern on the way there, but I guess it didn't really register to her, so she took my brother, and I there anyway. Sure enough, 75% of the menu is just steak platters, and I just don't like steak. The last thing I wanted to do was order a $17 meal only to eat the shrimp on the side, so I said I wouldn't eat. My mother completely blew up, and made us leave. I didn't even want to leave. I was more than happy just having water, and spending time together. I tried to talk to my mother about it, but all she had to say was "There's nothing to talk about." What does that mean? I don't even understand why she's so upset, and why we couldn't just stay, but she won't talk to me about it.<br><br>My brother, on the other hand, thought it was completely appropriate to stir up drama online by writing mean things about me on a social network site. He's trying to blame it on my diet. Yes, I was on a diet, but I'm not on much of one anymore(just trying to stay healthy), because I lost the weight I wanted to. I didn't eat, because I didn't like the food, and couldn't justify spending that much on something I wouldn't enjoy, NOT because I was thinking about loosing weight. I just don't see why he always wants to whine about MY "diet" it like it ruins his life. He still eats half a dozen hot dogs everyday. <br><br>A week ago I couldn't wait for break, and now I just want it to be over.
I'm done with VP. I'll just be around until I get all my dogs and lines placed in good hands. If you want to contact me, please do so through deviantART.

    I'm not trying to blame you, but have you tried looking at from your mom's point of view? I know I might react in much the same way.<br><br>She wants to give her family a treat. She tries to think of something that most teenagers like.. pizza.. and that gets turned down with a suggestion of someplace to go and sit down and be waited on. Good idea.. What better place than the favorite place of your daughter? Now, maybe she doesn't hear you or doesn't realize how deeply your concern is about the place, but assumes it can't have changed that much, how much can you change a steak house?<br><br>So after getting everyone seeming to agree on a single place and driving there, your daughter decides the food isn't what she wants or expects and refuses to even order. I might feel like my daughter took the gift I was offering, that I thought was what she wanted, and slapped me in the face with it.<br><br>As for your brother, I'd have to mark it up to immaturity and just ignore his attention seeking whining.

    <br><br>Of course I have, and I don't blame her at all for being upset about it for all the reasons you mentioned. I thought she was well aware of my problems with that restaurant, but I was wrong. That's my fault. However, I'm still quite upset she refuses to talk about it. Ignoring a problem is never solving a problem. The holiday was basically ruined due to this one incident, because there was no discuss on what went wrong, and how we can avoid it in the future. Excluding the problems with my sibling, the lack of communication is what upset me most.
