Honestly? I never let my parent's pasts affect my decision making or affect my life. They're supportive, of course. Am I grateful for that? Sure I am. Would it make any difference to me if they weren't? Not a one. I'm not who they are or were. I know that and they know that as well. And as my ma likes to say, "Your just like your father. Tell you not to do that or say that and what do you do? You go off & do it anyways." :) Hey, what can I say? I AM my father's daughter (which is.....also not altogether a good thing, lemme just tell you that).
But because of my parent's mutual pasts, I wasn't raised stupid, naive or doubtful of myself. If were good at something, we were good at something (We have alot of pride to our own mutual names) And because of that, it taught me how to survive and not to give a damn what anybody though of me or the way I choose to live my life.
I love who my parents were and are. Without their past and my past, well, I wouldn't be who I am today. and I mean, where would the fun be if I wasn't me? :)
