So, today's topic is "Your Parents"
This is probably about to be the most awkward and emotional update. Depending on how much I feel like saying.
My parents are two of the most opposite- yet similar people I've ever met. I was very well loved growing up, and extremely spoiled. xD They never really got along, at least not from what I remember. There was lots of fighting and yelling growing up. Which is why I'm so close with my brother James, because I'm extremely protective, and I remember him always crying when they yelled- so I'd bring him into a different room and distract him. And then, after all that awesomeness, my mom moved down into the guest room and my dad stayed in their old room. And then I think it was my....junior year that my mom moved out to California. That was fun.
But, lets get a bit more detailed about each of them. So, my dad's name is Duane. My friends really seem to like his name. xD I have NOOO idea why.
Me and him get along suuuper well. Well...that's not entirely true. xD He's really stupid sometimes, so I have to be the adult and tell him what to do. He loves to pull pranks and joke around, which is where I got that little trait. xD He's a carpenter, and a pretty good one at that. :D He's one of 5 kids (all their names start with D's. lol) One thing I really really wish he'd do less of, is worry about work. I remember on my move-in day for college, he stopped to deal with a work call. That pissed me off. Sometimes I feel like he's too afraid to not do work, because it's the "man thing" to do. Just like he wont ask for help from anyone, or anything. It's really annoying. But I still love him-sometimes. xD He's a really good dad. Always willing to drop anything if I'm upset. I feel bad, because when I'm upset, I normally take it out on him. I just hope he knows that he knows I don't mean it. <3

Now, the one you've all been waiting for. My mommy. <3
Not a very good picture. xD Sorry.
A lot of people know about me and my mom's problems. And for the sake of my mom, I'm not going to write about it in detail. But basically, due to this issue, my life hasn't been the best. It's certainly hasn't been as bad as it could be, but....not happy.
There was a lot of arguing between me and her, because we're both- to put it in her words- "dominant bitches" xD Neither of us wanted to admit when we were wrong, so the fights always ended in a lot of hurt feelings, harsh words and tears. A lot of it was my teenage angsty crap, but a whole lot of it was due to my mom not always being in her right mind. She had a really hard life growing up, and I don't blame her for the things she's done and said.
After she moved out (that day sucked a huge amount of suckiness), things were kind of...hard. You'd think that after having your mother move out, things wouldn't be normal. Food wouldn't be cooked, the house wouldn't be as clean. That mother feeling would be gone. But, it wasn't like that for us. Because my mom would be there physically, but mentally, it was like she was dead. So when she moved out, it didn't feel different really at all. But it was all for the best. Because after she did move out, she got the help she needed, and our relationship has been much much much MUCH better. <3 <3 <3 <3
I love my mom. <3
Well, that wasn't quite as bad as I was thinking it'd be. xD But yeah. There's us. x.x
Peace, love, and follow the spiders. <3
Ouch.
