Aww, sorry to make you cry. It's odd, I actually came away from our last meeting really depressed... something about the conversation we had just brought out all my hopeless feelings. We have to stop this -- I've heard friends are supposed to cheer each other up, and it does seem worth a try. :)
Anyway, I appreciate the understanding. Children of dirt-poor, depressing, fucked-up parents, unite! I'm really not okay with maintaining the ties, but I didn't expect to be okay either, so it's kind of a continuation of the status quo. Just like my dad's van and your mom's house are better than their status quo. Despite formerly held opinions to the contrary, I'm starting to think that human beings are way too adaptable. We get used to things, and put up with things, that should be intolerable.
