I'm sorry I haven't been on the site much since I originally joined. I've been really busy with a lot of things.
Milkwaukeeguy, to answer your questions:
1) No, I definitely do not engage in any addictive behavior. I don't drink at all. I have never had an alcoholic drink, let alone been drunk. I've never taken any drugs. I've never even smoked a cigarette. The way my mom is has just turned me off of all that stuff so much. The idea of alcohol disgusts me. Her behavior makes me want to do the complete opposite, which is what I generally do.
2) My sister does okay in school. When she was very young she was diagnosed with a slight learning problem, so most of her difficulties come from that. It's hard to tell how she handles it. She doesn't really talk about it. Unlike me, she doesn't seem to have the anger that I do. At least, she doesn't show it on the outside like I do. I used to argue with my mom. I used to yell and get sooooo mad. I gave up on being that way because all it did was put me in a bad mood.
