My Complicated Life

The story with my dad is for lack of a better word.. complicated. My parents have had a messed up relationship and went through years of struggle just to come to the resolution that I would stay with my mom for the majority of the time, I still see my dad from time to time but our relationship isn't very good and continues to deteriorate as I get older, don't get me wrong, I still would love to have a relationship with my dad but as I get older I learn more about him and my mother's past and it gets harder and harder to trust him and have the bond I see and hear about with other dads and their sons. I've had a difficult life to say the least and I just want everything to be normal, it's been tough but I realize now as I get older that it's turned me into the person I am today and in a way... I'm thankful. My Dad might not have been there for it and he may have had a negative effect, but in a way he's made me the man I am today.
