Every time I take a drive with my mother our conversation derails into how my father is an asshole and how she gets treated like shit and how much it hurts her that i can't understand. But i can't. Im sorry mom, but I just can't do this with you anymore! It's an awful cycle and its not my life. I'm sorry. But if you want me to get those A's then i can't think in the past. I'm a present person. I don't dwell, no matter how much you want me to.
