I find myself growing up

For the entire time my dad has been married I have despised his wife for many reasons. The biggest would be because she only married my dad for his money. The other day I sen her in a new light. Although I still believe it was and is very wrong of her to marry for money I look pasted it because I seen that she actually does love my dad. She still does things I disapprove of but shes a grown woman. While my father was in prison this summer she turned my home upside down.My dad gave her money to pay bills but she decided she was going to go shopping and party all summer.When my dad came home he was dead broke from giving her money;paying bill in the house;and paying for whatever he needed during his jail time.SHE IS STILL WITH HIM THOUGH!!!! I was happy and confused all at the same time. this meant that she married my dad for something other then money right???

Since this I have not been mean to her and when she is home I actually stay home now. I have conversations with her,but we still don't do the "girly" things.In time i'm pretty sure we will though.
