UGH!
Ok. I just got off the phone with my dad. Why do I feel so... blah.
How bout some background info on my family's "problem":
My dad and mom split up about a year + ago. Probably October of 02. And my dad moved out and did things that were totally uncalled for. He took a bunch of stuff that was mine and very important to me and he broke into our house and garage after we changed the locks. And then didn't even bother to close the doors after he left. He just left them wide open to anyone to come up and take ou stuff. Him and I did not speak to each other until about June of 03. And that was only after my mom called him and told him to stop acting like a jackass and talk to his daughter (me). So we have spoken and we have mended our relationship a bit, but he just did a LOT of stuff that is going to take a LONG time for me to forgive. Slowly I am forgiving him though.
so back to the phone call. I guess I just feel so.. yeah.. because I realize I am so happy with him not being here. And I feel bad about that because it is my father. He is one of the reasons I am here and I am me. But when I think about those times when he WAS here, and we were in a sense the "perfect family" I was so unhappy and depressed. But, I hope we can continue our stage of mending our reationship.
