Families.. You can't choose who they are, and a lot of them are great. My family is alright, but it could use a lot of improvment.
Tak my mom and Dad for instance. They're great. They support me no matter what. I mess up and they help me fix it. If I'm sad, they try thier very best to make me feel better, and if I need help, they help me the best they can.
I'm glad that i have two parents who love and support me no matter what I do, or no matter how I act. But I can't say the same about someone else in my family.
Now, I know that you're suppose to respect your elders, but I can't respect my grandmother anymore. If it's not one thing, then it's another. "You're to skinny, gain some weight", "You're to fat, lose some weight", "you're never going to amount to anything". These are just some of the things she's said to me. I usually shrug them off and play it cool. Act like i don't care, and most of the time I don't care. Tonight on the other hand, she insulted her own daughter.
My mom went to go play some cards with her friend and her mother tonight, she does this on weekends, but today, when she came home, she was in tears. My grandma(my mom's mom) told my mom that she has always been and always will be a screw up. No, this statement would have been true if my mother was a dead beat, and although I don't say it all that often, I do love my mom, and she hasn't done anything to deserve the name "Screw Up".
I'm very upset right now, and i just had to get that out.. You can't choose who your family is, but you can choose who in your family you love.
