Family Matters
So, my sister went and told my parents that I was moving to the independent living home.
This quickly led to the revelation that I have no intention of returning home after I turn 18.
Mom immediately started yelling in the background. Somehow, I don't think she understood that I meant it literally when I said last week that the best I was hoping for from family therapy was a relationship with my parents that wouldn't be total estrangement. My foster mother started motioning firmly for me to hang up the phone, and after about a minute I made a half-assed escape: "You know, I don't think this is a particularly appropriate time for this conversation, so I'm going to hang up now and perhaps we can discuss it at a later time." Then I hung up.
Conveniently, family therapy is going to be in a couple of hours. |D Oh, this is going to be so much fun.
