Family stuff

I don't talk much about my family here on my blog. Maybe it's because my dysfunctional family isn't much for me to talk about. I've learned to deal with parents being divorced, how to deal with one parent or in my case three seperate families. Yes, that's right. Three. My father got married three times.

Let's hope certain people don't read my blog, or else they might figure out who I am, and who my father is. Let's just say that my father is a pretty public figure in Massachusetts, although now he is retired.

I also want to point out that I now have my own family. It is a difficult concept for me, since I really didn't have a starting point, but found what I was looking for.

So, I guess my point is that if you are going through a rough time or your parents are having a rough time, just know that I have been through alot.

That being said, there are different families in my life. I read in a book a long time ago (and I'm sorry if I can't remember the name of it at this point, but I think the title was Wild Women Stories), but basically there were stories in it and it related to real true life.

What I learned from that is you can make anyone into your family, it doesn't have to be your blood parents. In my case, I had the Spaghetti House gang as my family for a while, and now I have the Renaissance Faire family as well.

So here's hugs to all of my families, and of course to my own.
