Responsibility of a Child - Adults Together
I moved to NYC, then with Kelly's Mom while she could still visit. I drove to NE to see dad. Between 4-6 times a year. Dad, foul daughter. I was a Hunter, caring, loyal. They criticized me for riding outside on marriage & not going to church.
One of the few times mom was positive.
I'd been programmed to be creative as Mom had him to Grandma & Grandpa. Dad anyway. I wanted to be what? I wanted to be protective of Mom. I was contradicting my worries. I sent samples of my work & they were proud. I was extremely connected yet something impatient & irritable about the small town mentality. Always attentive. - Rights
