Your Relationship with your Parents

My Mum loves me a heck of a lot, but we've been through so much together it kind of strained us. My Dad was killed when I was four, and Mum remarried a few times .. most of which were mistakes in my opinion, but then again I've never been married so I can't say. My current stepfather, though, is awesome. I'd pretty much decided that all men were abusive jerks who didn't deserve to live when my Mum married him, I was about ten. He totally changed my mind. He is as calm and considerate and logical as my Mum is explosive and emotional. While I have no idea how they ended up together, I'm really glad they did. Since I moved away to Uni we havn't seen each other, because I go to school on the West coast and they live on the East coast, and I'm too poor to travel, but I do call them every week.

As far as a relationship goes, it wasn't much beyond mutual assistance with my Mum. She helped me out, because I'm her daughter, and I helped her out every way I could, because she's my Mum. I don't think there was anything wrong with that, if we'd had enough time outside of work and school maybe things would have been different.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
