i visit my mommy and daddy once every few months at most. it's not enough! my mommy is very lonely and my daddy drinks a lot, still. Things are much better than when i was a kid, but when i'm visiting it's palpable how the room is filled with things left unspoken. Our lives have changed and with it, dysfunctional elements have become less visible. but I notice i am still very much defensive and on edge during visit time

still, it's up to me to fix us. how do you engage with your mommy and daddy? are they together? are you good with each other? do your mommy and daddy love each other? mine don't, but they won't divorce. 2 l8 4 them at this stage.

They look out for me when I can't always do it for myself, and I try to help when the same's true for them. The biggest thing that has kept us strong is the idea that passion is but a momentary thing, and we aim to resolve our arguments the same day they began so that they do not harden into something worse.

I don't get this part, what do you mean?

I never got to see my father much, and due to complexities, I don't really reach out to him, my mom's side I live with, and so I interact with them, but the eventual goal is to just get out on my own, and maybe try to re-kindle relationships in the future, but part of me feels as though it's a waste and I should focus on my life, and maybe starting my own family one day. It's very hard for me to feel a connection to my family.

Huh, not a lot of replies.

The answer must be a fairly unanimous "No".

He means his father doesn't scream orcish at him anymore because he got the fuck out. Duh.

I see the past generation of Alice's chromosomes more often than I see the past generation of my own.

Sc is pretty boring.

My father died 2 weeks ago in the hands of my mother, she was helping him eat, in a room next to where I was. I had helped them 15 minutes prior, to move him in a seating position.

Cheery bye!

You seem to be taking it fairly well.

May peace be upon him.
