Independence...but not yet.

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Went to the Aisian League Track Meet. Metaled in all of my events. Bronze in the 200, Silver in Long, Triple, 16x100, and Gold in 4x100 and 4x400. Then went to Chilie's for dinner. Came home at 11 something. That's when it got worse.
As soon as I get home, my dad yells and hits me for not calling while at the meet. Then grounds me til school starts. Then to make it worse, I also get a seperate punishment from my mom to clean the house, do the dishes. Then she talks my ears off about being mugged and drive-bys and not being legally responsible.
What really stings is that they actally punished me so harshly. OK, I forgot to call, and I panicked them. I'll give them that. But while 'talking' to me, my mom goes on about being legally responsible for me until I'm 18. They just want me home to save their own asses. They don't want to be seen as bad parents just for appearance. What also really hurts is that they don't know me well enough to know I won't get into trouble, I won't be killed, and I won't do something stupid. I'm their son, and they don't know me well enough to trust me and my instincts. That friggin' sucks.
If and when I ever calm down from this, I'll probably regret this post, but screw the future. Now, there is nothing I would rather do is to run away. I mean, I can't even go to soccer conditioning anymore because of my stupid dad. I am so friggin sick of this.
On a totally unrelated note, I lost my retainer as well. It's nothing to do with this, but it doesn't make me feel any better about this situation.
