I have an anthropology assignment due online in 71 minutes... and I'm blogging. I just got home, and I guess my mom is threatening to leave my (step)dad. That's always been a very vague boundary, between dad and stepdad, since he helped raise me for the past 16 years, but it's going to become a whole lot clearer if she actually leaves.
I guess she was packing her bags to leave, but my little brother hid all the keys to the cars. He's trying to play counselor too, but I don't think there's much he can do. Not that it's hopeless, but the two of them have to choose to work it out.
I like having everything sticking together... but there are some major relationship issues there, and my dad is an asshole to her (even if he's otherwise a goody guy). He is insensitive and snappy.
She is aggressive and overbearing. And thoughtful. No one is 100% to blame, but this could be a rocky period on the horizon.
It seems to be the right time of year for this. Still cold, still gloomy, and still the seasonal depression. I guess everything has to cycle like this. April should be a good time for a rebirth.
Back to anthropology.
