I really, really, really, wish I could say that my parents were "trying to do the right thing." Alas, we don't always get what we want eh? My parents couldn't have cared less.

My father was drunk. He was drunk until my 20's. His redeming quality is that he acknowledges this, and has apologized for his failure to parent, protect, or be there for me. Gotta love the man just for that. I'm not really mad at him but he is very hard to get along with somedays. (He's very gruff, single-minded, and stubborn!)

My mother, on the other hand, thinks she is perfect and it's all my fault. I was just the bad apple and ruined her life. Can we say pity pot? Or I hear how it's my father's fault because he's an evil troll and I'm just like him...:hit-boss:

Can you tell they are divorced???

I'll let you know if I make any progess; although I'm not counting on it...
