Blog for 2-10-2009

I thought that class last thursday was really interesting because I was able to relate to the different topics that we talked about. When we talked about the stress on single parents and how you get depressed or emotional distress, when my biological parents divorced it didnt really affect me at all it was when my biological dad remarried because then everything changed, my sister and I were not his little girls anymore. We also talked about the child parentification and until I moved with my aunt and uncle permantenly (who are now my mom and dad) my biological sister raised me and made sure that I was safe; she was that protector. When we lived with our biological mother she was so into hanging out with her boyfriends or what not and my sister and I had to take care of ourselves. Then when our biological dad remarried we still looked out for eachother. When my sister and I moved with our aunt and uncle at the age of 6 and 7 my sister told me that this is where we were going to live and that we would be safe, a couple of months later my sister missed her dad and went back to live with him while I stayed where i was at. It just shows that your siblings do look out for you and will protect you no matter what. When we talked about this area it kept making me go back to that with my sister.
