explanation

i have an incredibly dysfunctional relationship with my parents.  it stems from bad habits and decisions we made when i was a teenager.

i was a difficult teenager and my parents did not know how to handle me.  they were often frustrated which turned in to anger, which pissed an already angry teenager off even more.  there were a lot of screaming matches, four-letter words, and sarcastic comments under the breath from both parties.

i tell you this so you may have a better understanding to the relationship we have now.  we get along pretty well and have more tolerance for each other.  that being said, we still use four-letter words and sarcastic comments to express how we are feeling to each other, it is just said with love!
