[TM] 218 - Write about a lie your parents told you.

Feb 29, 2008 13:00

What should I go with? I'm not an addict? Or, I did not kill my brother? Or that he had my best intentions at heart. No, I think I'm sorry just about covers both of them. I love my mom, don't get me wrong, but there was a time in my life where she chose pills over her son - in the middle of his English class. It's hard to get over something like that and she's a great grandmother and yeah, then there's Dan.

Dan. My dad. The murderer. He's in jail. He belongs in jail. Did you know Haley and I told Jamie his grandfather died? We had to tell him the truth after Skills let slip where he really was.

Yeah, Dan lied about a lot. My mom lied about a lot as well. My parents are just liars. Big fat...liars. Murderer, drug addict, tyrant, bitch - all of the above. It sucks to some extent but in other ways it helps me as a parent.

I'm never going to push Jamie into doing something he wouldn't want to do - and if he likes it I won't pressure him about it. And I won't turn to pills if my life...OK, I turned to alcohol - for a few months but that was before. This is now.

And now? I'm not my mother and I am definitely not my father.
