I, just like my dear friend meg, have this whole Step parent issue..
I would just like to clarify that my whole existences is at the bottom of my parents list i feel like. Exhibit A i swear they would love to throw me out of the house any time i even mention my mother. You see it's a love/hate relationship they (Dad & Stepmother) love to hate my mom. So any time i look/act/ or mention my mom. I receive the death glare from hell then a quick change to the next subject or just a walk out of the room.
So today they wondered why i hadn't told them of my Acceptance to UVU. Well one, it's in Utah and my mom lives in Utah. So you would hate the subject. Two, I'd be living with my mom. So again, another thing talking about my mom. You guys would be revolted at just the subject alone. So there are only a few reason as to why i haven't said anything about being accepted. Yes, i was going to mention it once i figured out my Plan. (Money, Job, When i would be leaving, Etc.)
I feel as if they should have a sense of joy in their minds as this news. Going to UVU would mean that you don't need to take me places or even have to think of me. You get to sell my bed and any other belongings that i am not allowed to trek along with me. And that is just one less kid you have to worry about paying for. Trust me, i think this is doing both of us a favor.
