Dear Abby
So some stuff happened last week that made me start questioning why I do certain things. I have been thinking about how to resolve some issues. Obviously I should try to repair the floundering relationship between my pop and I. I am just very unsure about how to do this. Now I am also not even sure if he is aware of how profound the rift is between us. If this is to occur I also need him to be honest with what is going on in his life. If he is not honest than I don't think that there is even a chance of fixing anything. I am afraid that he can't accept me for who I am either. Even with all of these worries and anxious feelings I am still going to give it a try...and soon. I know that it hurts my mom when we can't even hold a civil conversation. I just don't understand how she can act ok about things. He had to have hurt her too.
My relationship with my mom is starting to get strained. I am trying to be nicer but I think I still don't come off well. I am trying to pay off some debts so that I can afford to move out without any problems. I just also worry about leaving her alone. She seems so depressed sometimes. If only I knew what to do about some of this stuff. Sometimes she wants to be with my dad and then other times she ignores his phone calls. How does anybody handle this sort of situation? I know my mom doesn't have many people to talk to about this stuff either. I am just going to try and be as supportive as possible about all of the decisions that she makes. Who knows what will happen in the next couple of months!
