Everything's wrong, but it's alright?

My parents have to be the strongest people I know.

My Dad, through it all, has only cried once. Of course, just watching him his breaking my heart, but I'm trying to stay calm and happy. I want to punch his stupid ex-wife in the face and laugh while she cries. But that won't happen. My Dad said "I can't be mad at her." I said, "Well, I can." I don't understand what she's doing, and honestly, I do think she does either. I think she's in denile that she has so much debt because of my Dad's store. But she married that, and it's her responaibility to help him over that hurdle and figure things out together.

When I get married one day, I want to know that I could be flat broke and completly devoted to one another.

She flipped. She shouldn't have done it in the first place.

I think my Ma's doing well too. She seems to be handling everything fine. I really couldn't ask for more.

I'm starting to get everything ready for Japan, but really, none of that compares to everything my parents have been through.

I hope I inherited both their strength.
