The older I get the more I realize how much of an ass I was. Appreciation for good parents going up and up. As far as the relationship we had, I had some real issues as a teen w/ the law, and authority in general. So it was rocky at its best. They were always there for me though, and never let me fuck up too bad. After I hit my 20's we got super close again, because I grew up. Now I'm a parent ... god help me ...
