I feel like a pretty great person. I’ve been married for 26 years and I’ve raised 2 grown daughters, and I have a dog that I love, who is my best friend. I have no idea what I would do without my family.
I like to think I have the best family. My parents have taken me to so many places, and I was in a really wonderful, loving, and supportive relationship (with my wife at the time) for most of my childhood. I don’t know what I would do without them.
But now, as your family has gone on to a new life without you, you have to deal with the fact that you are now on your own. A new reality has come into your life. A new normal. Its no longer your family. Its not the same. There are new rules. There are new people that you have to deal with.
Well, there’s always the chance your family will pick up the pieces and find you a new family that is a lot less complicated than yours. It’s true that your family will most likely not be the same people you knew, but with a new normal there are new dynamics, and new relationships that may be a lot less complicated than your previous relationships.
There are always going to be some people who will get angry at you for things that you did or didn’t do. You will likely never be as cool as your father, but your mother is not your father, which lets you be a bit more of a badass.
A new family of four does not mean that you can expect the same amount of love or attention as before. Expecting your mother to be less of a bitch than you are wont work. A new family will most likely be less complicated than your previous family. However, your mother will be more complicated than your father.
A new family is not necessarily easier than your previous family. A new family will probably be less complicated than your previous family. You will likely get more sleep. Your mother will probably be less frustrated with you.
The new family will probably be less complicated than your previous family, but your mother will be more complicated than your father.You will probably get more sleep. Your mother will probably be less frustrated with you.She will probably be more frustrated with you.She is more frustrated than you will be with her.
It’s a double-edged sword for a parent to be with someone for an extended period of time, especially if they have a child. You can grow with your new family, but at the same time you will probably feel pressure to make them as happy as possible, which will probably make them resent you.
If you don’t have the patience to wait for your mama’s patience to wear thin, you can always go through the “man up” and go off to your own little corner of the world. I’ve heard stories from friends of people who went to college in a different state and lived off their mom’s money while their dad was either out of the country or in prison because he was caught with crack. You can do it, too.
