Stress Free

Since my mom has been here I am able to see that there is a lot of stress relieved from everyone in this house but, most defiantly my mother. The day that my brother and I picked my mother up from the shelter, you can see my mom was just happy and stress free and you could actually see the joy in my mom’s face. Reason that is because she no longer had to worry about where she is going to be living at next and what’s the next shelter she’s going to be living at. who wouldn’t be happy and getting ready to go to a more stable environment.

We were most defiantly happy that my mom was coming to live us. Since my mother has come to live with us it was probably the best thing that could ever happened. I say that because now we are able to spend more time with her on the daily basis and don’t have to worry about driving back and forth to Maryland just to see her 1 to 2 times a week.

It has been about one or two weeks since my mother has moved in with us at my father’s house. To me, it doesn’t really bother me but on the other hand it’s really awkward and weird. The reason that I say it doesn’t really bother me at all is because I have gotten use to my mother and father being around each other in the last couple of weeks but not exactly in the same place. My mother would be in one part of the house and my father would be in another part of the house. It’s almost as though they still keep their distance from each other.

The reason it’s really awkward and weird for me is because I never grew up in a home with both my mother and father. It is almost as the cycle has reversed. I didn’t grow up with two parents in a household but, now since I’m older I have two parents in one household. Maybe it just takes time getting use to.
