I don’t want to see my parents.
When I was on sets I had 14 hour days of peace. I did not have to worry about my parents getting in my business. I knew I was in a world my father could not dictate who I associated with. Who I dated. I loved it. I finally had Peace.
I’m not a bully. I want to be where I feel safe. And I don’t feel safe being forced to be around people my parents want in my life. I don’t feel safe if I’m never going to be on a set again. All they care about is money I don’t want there money. I want to make my own.
I’m tired of getting letters like this. I don’t want to talk to them. They would get upset if I started working on sets again, or if I was in a play, or working but no retirement package or health plan. I’m tired of the games they play. If my parents have anything to do with me not being on sets the objective wad to make me talk to them, to make me agree to be in there life. I don’t want them in my life. And I’m infuriated with men with the Union because I don’t want lawyers in my world, I don’t want to talk to my dad about government politics or law and as a kid he taught me there was a formula for TV so you could figure out the end. He ruined every show I tried to watch with him.
I don’t do anything for my parents because I knew my financial situation. I knew how much I needed to make. And I know what I can deal with. I’m not going to hang out and talk NRA with my dad or eat meat. I’m not going to go to their church. I grew up which means people should not be calling my parents behind my back. They want to see me when they are not being straight with me. I need to be around people who love what I love. I need to act and be around actors. Why did I get a theater degree and study TV film if I’m not allowed to use it. LET ME GO.
And what really makes me mad is my dad passes me off to my mother when I try to talk to him. I don’t want to be around people who don’t respect me. I told my parents I wanted to fight to act for the rest of my life. I have no dream of living in their neighborhood or with them. They have each other but I don’t want a relationship like there’s where I can’t be free to see the world. If you want me to fight to make money give me HOPE back.
