Hi.
To tell you the truth, I really would love to go down to see my girlfriend in Windsor at some point. Now the thing that bothers me is this: Whenever I ask my parents to bring me down to see her, it takes quite a lot of asking. In other words, it's like pulling teeth. My dad's been dropping remarks that I might lose something, or maybe I could get hurt somehow. I realize, however, that he's concerned for my safety, but there are lots of people I know quite well, who live in the same apartment building as my girlfriend does. . Whenever I'm with her, we're always happy together and having quite a good time. I'm just wondering what I should do to stop my parents from being so overly concerned.

Jamie:
Don't go through your parents, unless of course, you're under-age, which I don't think you are. Do you have friends? Maybe you could ask them to drive you. Can you take a train down there?
These of course, are just suggestions.
I do have a friend that goes down to Windsor on occasion, but you see, he's busy working and it's difficult for him to get time off. What I'll probably do is ask him to bring me down whenever he can find the time. As for trains, there aren't any that will go to Windsor from here. All Sault Ste Marie has is trains that will go way far north.

Jamie, mate. Work on your indepedence.
I looked at your profile you were born 1969, yet you are still reliant on your parents driving you about? There's only a year between us mate, and I'm fully independent. It's about time you tried to expand on your abilities, and your parents might start treating you like an adult.
I agree with Goblin on this one.
I mean when i first read this topick i didn't look in the profile. I just thought you were 18 the most to post about a problem like this one. But being 37 and deppending to your parents and friends to go and see your girlfriend just doesn't sound right.
But as we don't know the hole story it might be something we are not aware about you so let's not judge you for now.
What about your girlfriend? How old she is and why she doesn't come to see you if you have such problems? If both of you have indipendency problems and you are in your 30s how are you going to live together on your own?
I think parents sometimes are too protective and they don't let their children to be indipendent which is wrong. I know they do it because they care but they don't achieve anything by doing that. And they won't be arround for ever. If they don't teach you to be indipendent when they are not any longer in this world how are you going to mannage?
I wish you luck. It is never late but if you don't do something yourself nobody on this site can help.
And i feel so terrible speaking like that to you. You are much older than me. You should be the one giving me advice not me to you so i am sorry for that.
Nikos don't feel bad about talking to him as you did he needs to hear it unfortunately, Jamie does this from time 2 time, and it's the only time you ever hear from him.
Goblin, would you please have some respect? You should know by now that it's not very nice to judge people whenever they want to discuss certain problems that they're having. I noticed a while back that a couple of your replies had some swearing in it. So could that please stop?

And how we can help you? If you don't become indipendent we can't do anything about it. We can't send her to you as an attachment lol.
