I mean, it's the same thing with my parents. I know that at very least my mother's mind is tracked towards making her life better, and that's fine. I just have to be sure that someone's looking out for myself too. ..even if it's me.
I have to wonder if that makes any sense.
Anyhow. This is your life. Your dad's a big boy, your mom's a big girl.. you have to start thinking more about how you're going to live, get by, and end up a happy and fulfilled person.. regardless of family turmoil.
..sometimes it's hard to come to the realization that there will never be the relationship you wanted, or even a slight understanding.. but where that kind of stuff leaves a hole, there are always people willing to fill it if you let them.

Also, I want to share something that one of my professors said last year: "You know that saying about how you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family? That's complete and utter bullshit. 'Family' is a social group that provides a safe, nurturing, educational environment that enables you to reach your fullest potential. And unfortunately, for many people the blood-related family can't fulfill that function. But you can CREATE a family. Create it from the people who actually love you, who support you, who know and accept you for who you are and who kick you in the ass to get better when - and only when - you need that kick."
So in other words...blood may be thicker than water, but alcohol cleanses and sterilizes both. So choose your family from those you can hoist a drink with. ;-)
