Okay, first and foremost-snarfus- nice freaking job on the picture. Old school blade runner. NICE. and she was so interesting.
Second- While I do not have three- I have two. and hopefully this will answer fadeaway's question and high five snarfus as well- My dad is amazing. But my mom, sigh. My mom did what she could but I think has her own issues. She didn't support me when I came to her with my mollestation as a child, where as while it felt more natural and safe to tell my mom my dad may have been the only one to do something. She just recently made pathetic excuses as to why my sister and I called her and said why do you guys not call us anymore, plan things with us anymore, write, whatever. Be parents. and she threw the blame on us. You're sister is too buys with her kids. I never know when to call her. I literally said, "well then what is your excuse for me....."
So I created my "third" family. When you have so little from your real family- lack of support, if you were thrown from the house for the way you live, whatever. I brought it up on an old post year ago or so. Fadeaway, if you don't know Rupaul, look her/him up. He is pivotal in the US for supporting drag. He said one time, " You know we as gay people we get to choose our family. We get to choose the people we’re around. I am your family, we are family here. I love you. - See more at:

When you go through really rough times or move to a different evolution of yourself, you can choose to branch out and choose new friends, and when they are great friends, they become family. They can even become such good family they can "replace" your family if need be. Put the work in to finding them, and the pay off is well worth the trouble of digging around and getting burned a couple times. :inlove:
