Wow, things are a little nutty for me lately. In the past couple weeks I started talking to my mom, sister, and other relatives I haven't seen in almost four years. They have been way more accepting than I ever would have thought after so long and I'm really looking foward to seeing them in person again soon. On that note, my mom is getting a divorce from my stepdad. I won't go into the details because this IS a semi-public journal but he was always pretty mean to me and my sister Hallee growing up. ( he married my mom when I was 9 and Hallee was 8) So because of this, I hated him for the longest time, even after I had been moved out of their house for quite a while. So, when I heard 2 weeks ago from my mom and him (he sent me this lame-ass letter apologizing for "not being a better father"-which turned out to be BS because I found out later that he said to my mom "I can apologize without meaning it") that they were divorcing, I was so relieved. But then I thought about it and realized a few things: A. in the 10+ years they've been married, they have had 6 kids. Which brings me to point B. He is the only dad those kids have ever known. And unlike me and my sister Hallee, he has treated the kids he sired pretty well. So even though they are only my half brothers and sisters, and they are kinda spoiled, I still love them and would like to see them have a normal upbringing. This divorce is probably going to fuck with their little heads for a long time. So yeah, I guess that's my little rant for today or whatever. Have a nice holiday ya'll. Peace out ^_^.
