I spent a good two hours talking with my mom today. Honestly, I love her. And I can see why her and I get along so well. We're very much alike. Headstrong, opinionated, and sure as hell not quiet.
We talked about the family... My aunt and uncle just got divorced. Me and my mom both hate her brother and love his ex-wife. He made my aunts Julie and Robin promise him they wouldn't talk to Debbie, his newly divorced wife. Screw that. I can't stand my uncle Mike. I have no fond memories of him, just him screaming at 3 year old me for no reason and judging me ever since.
We talked about my mom's sisters. I love my auntie Julie because she's lived close and always been there for you, but she's a judgemental bitch sometimes. She'll have fun meeting my asian hubby, since she has an "irking" for those of different skin coloring. Oh no, she's not racist, just irked by them! And her husband John, my favorite uncle if there ever was one. Big teddy bear who can say the most terrible awful things to my mom.
Aunty Robin, the never fake sweetheart. She'd do anything for you. 11 and a half months of the year she's a good intentioned christianed. But for two weeks spread over the year she'll get back to the real world and drink, cuss, and smoke pot. Of course her 20 year younger than her husband helps, the quiet sweetie Chris is.
And then there's Aunt Vicki... I love her to death, i do. She's always been there for me no matter how far apart we are. When we do see each other we click. Damaged soul Vicki and her obnoxious husband. I'm sorry the pretty bird landed with that snake. A broken but beatiful woman, she gets stepped on far too much. And yet, her attitude at times is questionable.
And my grandparents. Heh. Grandma Fenton - All i see is alcohol and cigs, the lush. Great Grandma Cowan - the defintion of a grandma with a perverted sense of humor. Grandma Mayers - We would have been close if not for the distance, i can tell.
My family is weird. We're all very strong willed people. The men are stubborn jerks who can't stand strong women. The women are all strong in our own way. Despite all her pain and the shit i put her through, I know my mom sees me in her own eyes. I love my mom and i know she'll always be there for me, so long as i don't take her for granted.
