how life changes

I am still a bit bitter about this subject but...I am happy for my mom and new stepdad. Really....



I grew up with an amazing family, we were all really close and always there for each other through thick and thin. Then having my mom move out last May was when shit hit the fan. She moved out making my dad think she was getting back with him and he helped her move and sent food over for her and went out of his way to make her feel comfortable in the condo she was renting. Then, me being the little gossip queen/mini investigator knew she was secretly dating someone and put two and two together and found out who. I told my dad seeing how heartbroken he was getting from her ignoring him and never responding to texts and phone calls. My moms side of the family then got pissed at me for interfering with their business, but really?! He had every right to know especially with him thinking she was going to move back home. But no, she moved in with him around September...mind you 4 months after she separated from my dad and then got engaged AND married to steve in January of this year. Kinda shady? Yea I think so too.

My mom and I are  not the closest of all people. Yes she is an amazing mother and has a big big heart, we just clash a lot from time to time. I am really blunt and want things my way when I want them which are not always realistic...but thats just how I am. And she is all about herself...EVERYTHING. My boyfriend really didn't understand out drama and still doesn't fully get it but he sees how we bicker over the stupidest shit and says we have a "strange" relationship.

This past weekend was her and Steve's wedding "reception" that they held because they got married in Vegas with only friends. Thanks guys for inviting me to that one.....so this one was for all the family too. I had a great time until I cried at the end when Cody (my sisters fiancee) made a really sweet and heartfelt speech where my dad was mentioned in it. I lost it, but the sweetest thing was was that Matt knew I was going to instantly breakdown and immediately looked at me and grabbed me and held me in his arms. Gah I love how well he knows me. I didn't what to cry at all that night and tried so hard but I am a HUGE Daddy's girl.

Regardless of the whirlwind of events that have happened over the past year with my parents, I am happy for my mom and Steve and for my dad and his gf. They all seem to being doing well and living their own happy lives finally.
