My family is divided into two halves. I’ve lived with my mom, brother, and step-dad my whole life. It was always just the four of us. My mom has had several back surgeries and is currently on disability. So she has not worked in about five years. So she was always there when I needed someone to talk to. We came to be best friends. But I needed more than a friend from her because she is my mother. So we have got into it several times but I still love her more than anything. My stepfather and I have had a great relationship. He has always been there for me when I need him. Or even when I didn’t! He works forty hours a week and takes care of our family. He is a great guy. I wouldn’t trade him in for anything in the world! My brother and I are exactly seventeen months apart. So we have always been close friends. We have hung out with the same people since we were little so we are pretty much inseparable.
