Day #3: My parents
So I'll start off talking about my mom.She was 24 when I was born and She was a single mom the first seven years of my life, and a good one at that. She supported us without any help from my biological father (which I have not met) Of course we had help from my grandparents and my aunts but she was the main person to support us. She worked her butt of to make sure that I was happy and healthy and had everything I needed. She met Marty when I was six and they dated for a while. The October after I turned seven I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I know that was hard for my mom. I was her only child and the only one she could have and I almost died. Plus not to mention the medical expenses that this generated. After I was diagnosed my mom made sure I was well taken care of. She helped me with everything and made sure that I was on top of my diabetes. She fought with me to take my shots everyday and never gave up. She would wake up in the middle of the night to test my blood sugar just to make sure I was okay. When she married Marty the June after I turned 8 she had quit her job so she could take better care of me. My mom has always been there for me and has always fought for me to get the best that I deserve. I appreciate her greatly for that. We used to be really close when I was a teenager and in high school but now that I'm an adult our relationship has been different. She has had a hard time letting me go and letting me grow up which is understandable but damaging. I've been the focus of her attention for the last 19 years and its hard for her to let go of that. Which is hard for me because I'm trying desperately to gain my independence. we fight because I'm not home that much anymore and I always have something to do, and I think it makes her jealous. She gets mad at me easily and I'm quick to defend myself. Its hard with her right now, but I hope it gets better.
Now onto my step dad. Its been a struggle, it really has. Ironically we actually get a long better now. Probably because I never see him. Which we both don't mind one bit. We just simply don't get a long and were alright when were not around each other. I appreciate whats he done for me and my mom even though he doesn't think I do. I don't believe that we can really get a long until I move away. That's just the kind of relationship we have. We get a long if we only see each other rarely. but oh well, that's how it is!
