No, I don't mind at all. I'll add you to my friends list, as well - practically no one is reading my journal right now, and since my entries are all public, I feel a little stupid...a bit like I'm talking to myself.
Anyhoo, parents. Yeah. Well, I think my parents are actually okay on this subject - I don't think they mean me any harm, they're just surrounding themselves with denial. This is a very toxic pattern that runs through my family, and has been for generations. I did some research, and found out my whole (extended) family has a history of emotional and physical abuse. My family's way of dealing with a crisis is to pretend it never happened...and if anyone brings it up, they're lying and crazy.
I'm just really glad I learned how to see through all the deception, and depend on what my inner self tells me is "real", "true", and "what really happened."
I'm really sorry to hear about your dad, but my opinion about difficult parents is that you have no obligation to "forgive" them or "try to make it work." So I think you have taken exactly the right attitude with your father. Protect yourself, yo.

Ha ha ha. I've only had a journal for six days now (all thanks to you, of course), whadaya mean you've been reading it for months?
Heh, heh, I said practically nobody. Not to imply that you're nobody, just that I don't know too many people yet. And how could I know you're really reading it? You practically never comment, and I check your journal all the time, and dude, you don't update. Is spring break so draining? I practically haven't gotten off this thing since I created it.
How nice of groovycat to become my friend. I'm telling you, Lester, your entries look a little odd on my friends page. You look too normal. *snickers* Lester, normal, that's a hoot. Well, Einstein said everything is relative, lol.
hah i look normal, to what do you compare normality? being an average teen with average problems? to what would you then consider average? your argument has no basis nor any value. And i said for months because i've been writing entries to myself for months because no one reads it and no one makes comments on it, so meh. and yes, spring break is that draining (damn work).
