I think my mom might have went on the hike without me.

I say that I don't want to be with her friends and her - But I like hiking so what ever I don't really care.

My mom won't admit to what I'm becoming aware of now which is the histrionic thing and tries to hide it but she hosts parties in the house - So I need to get away and be independent.

It's just weird to me that I should have done something about my ex step dad a long time ago - But I was too scared and wasn't sure if standing up to authority is the right thing to do - It always was. 100% of the time.
