if there’s one thing that i’m grateful for, it’s that my dad is finally back in my life after 5-6 years and has impacted it in a positive way this past year. he got his shit together and decided to get clean for my brother and i, after 15+ of struggling with addiction. he-
-realized that we needed a stable father figure in our life and he truly loves us, and now our relationship is in a better place. my dad might not be perfect, but he is trying his best and that’s all that matters. he’s 2 years clean, has a house and a good job. i am truly proud-
-of him and i don’t know where i would be right now if it weren’t for him getting it together. when no one believed me, he did. he knew who i was and who i am and i’m so grateful for that. he genuinely trusts me and i trust him. it has taken years and will take years to fully-
-trust him, but we are on a good path relationship-wise. he and i share the love for music and he is so laid back and it makes me grateful he is the dad he turned out to be. things might’ve been rough for a while, but he’s recovering and almost off of methodone. my dad also-
-gives the best advice ever and i’m grateful that he’s there to give me advice about things. (especially with dr*gs) he just wants the best for me and at the end of the day, he was almost always right about things (especially with adam) and all he wants to do is protect us-
,and yeah he’s done some shitty things to try and piss my mom off that have affected carter and i, but he’s growing from that stage of pettiness and finally moving on. he still has his moments, but he’s truly trying and that’s all that matters.
idk why i’m making this thread, but i’m just feeling very sappy about stuff right now- and though things have been rough, both my mom and dad are so strong and have raised me pretty damn well. ok end of ramble
