My family is bizarre. I have really bad family problems right now they have been going on my whole life even before I was alive my family had problems. They got petty bad a couple of years ago. Normally the problems are spaced out but I had to deal with some pretty mess thing up all at the same time Idk how it made me feel, to tell the truth. Most of the time I just tell myself that I won’t get mentally affected by this if I don’t let it. I don’t get sad I just say in my mind that it will all be ok I had told myself this for years and it works and I still am.

My mom is something else I love her so much she is deftly the one that takes care of me the most, to tell the truth, she spoiled me. Whenever I ask her for something she will stop what she is doing a do it. But there is another side of her that I don’t like it runs in the family alcoholism both of my parents do it. But when my mom drinks she gets angry she had a very hard life the day she was born her real dad died and her life has not been the best sene.

My father is hard working man but he sadly has the same problem. but when he drinks he doesn’t get angry unless my mom and dad get into a fight. I’m not that close to my dad I live with them both but I am just tight with him I used to be close to him but as I grew up I never wanted to be home and I think it was the same for him I still love my dad to death but I just wish we got closer to him before I leave the house.

Now it’s time for my other family. I could be here all day telling you about my problems. but we don’t get time for that. On one side of my family I lost all ways of talking to them I don’t get to see or talk to them at all. and on the other side, my grandpa is not doing too well but he is slowly getting a little better my aunt got cancer during the big spike of covid so that did not make it any better. but she has gotten a lot better there are a lot more problems with my family but I’m going to keep those to myself.
