People talk about disfunctional families. I do. I even have one though. That’s because nobody is normal. I really believe that’s what it is. I mean, I am a single mother and have two children.. but only have one. My “Aunt” (who is just a good friend of the family, technically) and her Partner have my daughter. I live with my mother, who is single.. not by choice. I have a boyfriend who is a bit older than me, which I don’t mind at all,(age is just a number!) but who is awesome to me and my son and has really done more for my son than his own father. His father, who didn’t call for a year and then called one day and then disappeared again. And is gone now, as far as I know.. probably back in jail. And then my daughter’s father who.. also.. is in jail. Yet refuses to sign his rights over. So we’re waiting on that. Anyways.. I told my mom one day, “How do you think it sounds to other people, Zach saying ‘I want to go to Aunt Debi & Beth’s house and see my sister’.” Cause I mean.. that’s gotta be some shit when ya hear it out loud!
Anyways.. this post isn’t even about my family. This post is about my son’s father’s family. They are all in their 30’s… 3 boys and one girl. They have ‘issues’ with each other, they run “Mami!!!” to their mother. Yes, adults, in their 30’s. I don’t even do this anyways. The girl.. Bangie.. is the only one that says that my son is not Luis’s son. Yeah, nothing to do with this really.. but she’s the only one I don’t get along with. Okay, whatever. She also.. has 2 kids by 2 different fathers, is married to a different man… and they cheat on each other constantly. Well I talk to him, am cool with him… he tells me today they are seperated now. Bangie has a new man and is moving herself and her kids to Texas with this dude, they’re getting a divorce. He proceeds to ask me am I single.. I tell him no.. he says that’s ok, I can still “do me” cause what the guy don’t know won’t hurt him… Yeah. Then asks me when am I going to ATown again. HAAHAHAHAHA.
That family? They make my family shine.
