I'm estranged from my mother about every other month. lol.

Seriously, though...I was estranged from my father for almost 5 years. In some ways, it is painful because he missed alot of things that happened in my life. In other ways, I wish we were still estranged because he hasn't changed a bit. He's still the control freak he always was. Things were wonderful the first few years that we were reunited, but as time passed, he's gotten a little to comfortable and went back to his old ways.
