Hmm, this is an interesting one. Let's break this into two.
My dad and I now have a great relationship. I can't say it was always that way. There were times that I felt I was a burden on his life. After I graduated high school, there was a time that we didn't speak much at all. Our lives were separate. But we were able to reconnect and now share a very close relationship, and I am very happy for that.
Mom on the other hand, I do not speak to. There is the odd communication over Facebook, but that is as far as it goes. Yes, there is a long history there... or rather, no history at all. My mom chose a different path in life. One that didn't involve me. I tried to reach out a few times and got burned every time. After years, I let go. There is no sense hanging on to someone who doesn't want you.
Now, I have Krysti. She is my dad's girlfriend and has been for the last 12 years or so. I consider her my mom. She is the most amazing person that I have ever met, and I'm lucky to have her in my life. My dad is too. She is the one who listens, supports and helps me the most.
