My parents are divorced since I'm 9 years old and they both can be a pain in the ***, but I love them. My Mom has cried the no money story my whole life, so I figure, I can't miss what I never had. I've always told my Dad, I wish I had a rich Dad and he would always say, I wish I had a rich daughter. My Dad has called me everyday for as long as I can remember. Its hard to think of a day when he didn't call. He never likes my hair, my clothes, or my weight, he always has something negative to say about me and the choices I have made in life and yet I love to get his phone calls. He is going to be 70 in August and a very cool dad, rides a Harley, his hair and clothes perfect all the time. He has always been a ladies man and I have learned alot from him, but sometimes I just want to say Dad you're not perfect. I just say goodbye, love you and hang up before I say something I might regret. In person, I just tell him, I'm going to leave if he starts getting on case too much. We are very honest with each other, sometimes too honest. My Mom has popped out 10 babies and she is not very nuturing. It sounds strange, but its almost like she doesn't how. There was not alot of hugs, kisses, and I love you's with her mother. She was an only child. I learned thru a boyfriends family at 15 years old how to hug, kiss and tell my family I love them. Every since I make sure I hug my family and tell them I love them every single time I see them, no matter what. It's good for my soul. You have to do whats best for you in this world. The best advice my Dad ever gave me was "Depend on yourself because you can't depend on anyone else"
