Well as some may know, I have been living with my dad the past year at the age of 23 now and things have not been easy. I basically have till Jan. to make my decision of what I want to do. I just let him on my past and so many secrets I don't know what's going to happen. But worts case scenarion my mom despises my dad (they've been divorced since I was like three) and has offered everything I need to get the hell out ouf cali and go to either OK, Dallas or Austiin. My first choice of course would be austin since I know so many people there. I just wonder if he will ever look at me the same. He (may still be) so proud of me and the things I have ecomplishied fitness wise! Any thoughts or comments would be appreaciated.

You already told me the story yesterday bro. I still think the same thing. He has brought it on himself through his lack of understanding, and constant bashing you down. However I dont know why you felt the need to let him in on all of your secrets, i dont see how that could help where you two are at. Seems like it would just be closing doors between you and him.
Also, i think you should stay in California. But that is because I live here, and if you leave we couldnt chill anymore. Do what is best for you though.Comment

Shibby,
Titan is right. People that criticize alot have a weakness in understanding other peoples points of view. It is really an issue with themselves, they feel by criticizing others they are trying to help you not make mistakes and experience pain in the future.
They think they are doing the right thing, and then get doubly frustrated when people do not listen to their advice.
Not realizing that no sane person will listen to someone who constantly makes them feel bad.
All in all he means well in his heart and he wants the best for you, ie, paying for school and housing etc. , it is just that logical bent he has, in the end he will most likely come around, he's not a bad person, bad man, just like all of us have a few weakness's we struggle with, and sometimes we are blind to them, eventually tough they are shown to us.
As you well know, do what makes you happy, like you have done in the past, you will probably be fine.
good luckComment

leave california and you will be back when you realize its his shit not yours that you left for. Maybe you need to pull a geographic to learn this. It should change when your dad sees you making a contribution to the world and taking care of yourself. Or it could have been the Spurs avatar..Comment

That's just becuase Dallas went out. I honestly have almost no intrest in the playoffs anymore. Granted I'm a sports fanatic (to the sports I enjoy) and will still watch every playoff game. But all I care about is a good game and an exciting finish.Comment

Shibby, I don't know all the details of your situation but keep in mind that there is just no pleasing SOME people. Also, you may find that you get along with your father much better when you are not living with him. You had enough faith in your father to reveal truths about yourself to him, if he can not accept you for the person you are then that is his loss.Comment

Lived both places (Dallas and Austin), the difference is striking. I Prefer Austin any day over Dallas, but either way you'll be in Texas so it will work out just fine in the long run.Comment

Very true man, plus if you want a quick boat ride, just drive down to the coast to a small town called Kemah, buy a ticket for Joe's boardwalk Beast and there's your quick boat ride around the Gulf.Originally posted by Keiser
Austin is nice, especially if you are a college kid, dallas is better IMO. Houston is the best because you have the coast,beach & the best nightlife.
