My mom left when I was a baby so I grew up with my dad, older brother, and a multitude of step-moms. I pretty much got away with whatever I wanted. At the time I thought that was pretty awesome. My dad was great, we got along well but he worked weird hours so during the week he was never home. I did not really get along with the step-moms so I did what I wanted. When he got divorced when I was in high school I would come and go as I pleased. My grades were terrible and I regret many of the decisions I made at that time even now that I am a adult and have kids of my own.
