families are hard to make sense of dear. i can't make sense of my own. i fear, even if i could, i wouldn't want to. i think it best to keep them one of the seven natural wonders, you know? that's one of the reasons i refer to my mother as the tornado. she's a mystery of nature. she comes into my house, blows through each room, leaving a mess, and leaves everyone wondering 'what the hell just happened? did a tornado strike?' we're all left breathless, and our house is a mess (ok, i can't really blame that on her, but i'd like to...)
but, i know i still worry about her. and i know i wouldn't be better off without her. and i know i love my mother very much.
families are a complicated thing. i think we are put with these people for a reason. whether to punish (ha ha) for a former life (again ha ha), to learn a lesson, to teach ourselves something, or just to constantly wonder 'why was i put into this family? what did i do wrong?'
maybe god is just cruel?
hang in there sweetheart. things will get better. and you've got plenty of eyes listening here, who understand.
take very good care of yourself, got it? that's an order, not a question (though there is a question mark.).
