But. Yeah. My mom and dad have been divorced for a while. He's not around a lot. He and mom never got along much, and I guess it'd be selfish to think they should stay together, but it's felt like he's never wanted to do anything with me either.
Everyone has problems of their own, Maya. That's something my therapist told me. They're all important to different people.
... You're right though. My mom and I have had our problems, of course. But we're working on them. We've made a lot of progress. It used to be I didn't know how to communicate with her at all but that's changed.

Date: 2017-03-12 01:54 am (UTC)I'm alright, this just kind of ripped the bandaid off on some things.
[Again, she feels worse than she's admitting to, but. Got to keep up appearances.]

no subject
Date: 2017-03-17 02:54 am (UTC)[That's what you say, right.]
If you wanted to, I'd be willing to listen. But.. only if you want to, okay?

But... it seems like your mom has done a good job raising you on her own...! You're a great person, it's his own loss that he's missing out!

She's always tried to be there. Unlike him...

Date: 2017-03-18 06:43 pm (UTC)Otherwise, I might not have the friend I do now, right?
Like I said, it's his loss. You do great in spite of him, and you should at least be proud there, I think.

Date: 2017-03-20 04:26 am (UTC)And you're right. I just wonder if it's still okay to think of what might have been.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-22 03:10 am (UTC)But... I guess it's kind of hard to not imagine that, sometimes? Just don't let it take you over too much, okay?
no subject
Date: 2017-03-24 06:55 pm (UTC)And I'll try not to. I will say, talking it out... it's made it easier not to for now.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-25 05:16 pm (UTC)So, like. If you ever need to talk about it, or anything... I'm right here, y'know?

Date: 2017-04-04 10:16 pm (UTC)That's some kind of progress, right?
no subject
Date: 2017-04-07 03:35 am (UTC)[As she does, Maya whips back around, for better or worse.]
So we've just gotta try and keep ourselves honest!
