my dad died when i was 10 and i have little memories of my life before that age. my moms relationship was very strained growing up into my early 20s. i have become closer to my mom and we are like good friends now. i was close to my sister growing up but we drifted in middle school. we are 16 months apart. we got closer as we got older, lived together once. my half-brother lived with us but i dont remember much. havent seen him in years.
