I have three relatives important to my life. My mom, my dad, and my half-sister.
So my dad married his high school sweetheart and they had a child. My dad isn't the most touchy-feely person, no matter how friendly he appears to be. He is an emotional rock, and so is his other daughter. He raised her, divorced the mom, and sent her out to live a successful life. She inherited his friendly charm and emotional strength. In all my years, I've never seen either of them shed a tear for anything. Since he raised my half-sister, he thinks he knows everything about me. He thinks that everything that applied to her applies to me as well. Well NEWSFLASH: WE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. >.<
I am my mom's first and only child, so she doesn't carry any precepts on how I will act. She, unlike my dad, cries a lot. I take after my mother in that respect. Except I cry over everything. Some call it sensetive, some call it depression. I don't give a damn what you call it, all I know is that I cry more than most people. So when my dad expects me to be an emotional Fort Knox, I CAN'T DO IT. And that's my family life in a nutshell.
