Past couple years
well...the years have been very challenging lately.
As you may have read before hand in my little memo, my mom passed away about 2 and a half years ago to cancer..which was a very hard struggle for both her and my family...my brother, sister, dad, and i had to try to figure out how we were going to try to live a "new/normal" life again, which seemed impossible. we all had to figure out how to add new things into our life and take on many new chores in which was very difficult at our ages..
i was about 13 or 14 at this time..so i was still in middle school and i had to mature a lot faster then a child that age should have had to.
well now, this past November, my dad married a lady who had been widowed also and she had 3 older daughters and a boy that is 7...so now i had to get used to the bigger family and the fact that i wasn't going to be the youngest child anymore...on top of that we had to move half an hour away from where i have lived practically my whole life. Life has been fairly good tho, getting used to all the changes...the women my dad married is very nice and carring, and totally understands me and my sister very well..which we were very glad for, but i have noticed over this time that i have become more mad at my dad. Just because i just realize now that i am older how much crud he has given me and my sister over the years..it gets really old and i have gotten to the point/age where i have come to the conclusion that i actually am going to stand up for what i believe and not just let my dad shoot me down for every little thing that i say.
but then at the same time i dont want to sound like a jerk, and not honor him, but i dont think it is wrong to tell him how i feel, instead of letting him just over rule me with his nonsense..
