i live with my wife, four dogs, and one cat. before i moved in with her, i lived on my own by myself for about 8 or 10 years? i had a roommate before that i lived with for about one year. he is still one of my best friends, although he lives far away now. as a kid i lived with my mom, but could visit my dad pretty often. i haven't seen either of my parents for almost three years. i don't speak to my sister, and that suits me just fine. i do speak to my parents. i taught my dad to text. he is very formal, like he's writing a business letter.
