Just an ordinary day...
If ordinary days suck hardcore.
It started with an oboe lesson with the crazy hyper Christian Nordal who i have to YELL at whenever i wanna say something teacher-esque because he'll always play over me talking. Even his parents walked through the room and told him to stop being rude.
Then I had a dermotology appt which went fine and then I took care of random stuff...getting the oil changed, getting a pedicure, dropping off a prescription..etc.
But the best part of my day had to be when I stopped by randomly at my dad's office to say hi cuz I was in the area. I thought it would be nice cuz I don't get to see him that often. But what did I walk out of there knowing?
He's been dating a woman in Chicago since the beginning of the year. My parents aren't even officially divorced yet, and they split only a year ago. Apparently they've flown to see each other a couple times and he's already met her two kids.
What pissed me off the most was that all of my brothers and sisters found out a full 2 months before I did because my parents agreed to "protect" me for a year before letting new people into my life. Wtf? He's already met both of her kids before I even find out they're dating?? And this doesn't affect my siblings nearly as much as it does me, so why do I find out last?
I cried the whole way home...this was the one thing I was worried about dealing with when my parents told me they were splitting. I can't deal with someone else in my life this soon. I know they were trying to protect me, but i'm almost 19 and in college...how much protecting can you really do anymore?
She looks really nice in the picture he showed me...shes african american, which I think is really cool, and she's pretty...but then I remember that I spent 17 years of my life putting my mom and dad in the same picture, and now it's as though my mom wasn't good enough, but I know that's not true...
I don't know what to think. I know he's telling me that it's not horribly serious, but I don't want a stepmom. I just want my family back...
You'd think after a year this would get easier to think about...but it's not.
