Seeing my girlfriend

You probably all know the story.

I was sitting in my bed when my Mum had a go at me when I asked why it wasn't ok for me to stay over at my girlfriend's, Laura's, when I had for the past 3 weeks. About 5 minutes later I accidentally elbowed my bed, causing a small dent to be made in it. This wasn't out of rage although more force may have been applied to it as I was rather angry at the time.

This is apparently enough for me not to be able to see my girlfriend at all. I then went downstairs to go and tell Laura I wouldn't be able to see her the following weekend and my Dad stood over me and shouted at me, telling me to get off my laptop. Apparently the fact that I wasn't allowed to see her was none of her business. I proceeded to say goodbye but was given no time to do that, I don't recall being able to say "I love you" either. My Dad became more and more angry, just because I was turning off my laptop which is what I was asked to do in the first place.

With my laptop completely shut down, I was then told that "I'm not getting him a birthday present now." I sat listening to my parents shouting at me but apparently keeping quiet got me in trouble too. I was told that I didn't apologise, but I said sorry about 3 or 4 times. Dad didn't apparently believe me though. What more am I supposed to do? Show remorse? I constantly cried for a long time, enough to keep me awake all night. Is that good enough?

I am constantly told that if I don't smile, if I don't act like I want to be part of "this family" I won't be able to see my girlfriend. They take advantage of the fact that I can only see her once a week and I rely on them for that. How am I supposed to smile when they won't let me see all that matters to me? For accidentaly making a small crack in my bed. It doesn't stop the bed from working, it's a cheap bed from IKEA anyway, do they expect it to last forever?

I am sorry for what I did, but I don't think that stopping me from seeing my girlfriend is fair at all. I apologised, I sat there while they told me how much they really cared about how I felt, and if I tried to have a say a was denied that right as well.

All I did was elbow my bed, and this has to lead to so many tears and me not being able to see all that matters to me. I only get to see her once a week. No one has any idea how hard that is. I love her, I can honestly say that, i love her and I won't let them..."mess" with my relationship. It isn't fair at all. Waiting a whole week just to see her feels like forever on it's own, but telling me I'm going to have to go through a whole week without her for nothing really gives me nothing to live for. I think that I should just be able to see her, it was an accident and I apologised yet they take this away from me...I don't believe that's fair. At all. And neither does anyone else who signs this. I think I should be able to see my girlfriend, I don't think the right to see her should be able to be taken away from me for such a small accident. Accident emphasised. Cause it honestly was unintentional yet I have to go through so much suffering. I think I should be able to see her, and so does everyone else who signs this.
