So, my dad is finally open about dating that woman. (I think last night was their third date?) I'm glad for him; he seems to REALLY like her. :) He was telling us about her. She has children... Two little girls, who are much younger than me; I think they're 5 and 9. Holy crap, I hope they aren't anything like my sister. We don't need three of her running around. x_x My mom's boyfriend's sons are younger than me too. One's 9 and one's 11, although 11 isn't too bad because I actually have a friend who's 11. It's like I'm destined to be the oldest child no matter what. XD
I'm going to Louisiana for Thanksgiving break, which lasts a week! Yay! :3 Now, to plot how I can non-awkwardly ask my cousin if his friend can come over at some point...
This seems really ridiculous, but ever since my parents announced their divorce and my dad started talking about not wanting to be alone forever, I got this fear. My dad is, obviously, going to date women from around where I live. I live in the Deep South, and that... that speaks for itself. I have this strange fear that my dad will meet someone he really likes, and then when she finds out he has a gay daughter, she dumps him. I would feel so horrible if my dad got dumped all because I exist. For some reason, I'm more afraid of that than the possibility of him ending up with some raging fundamentalist who tries to send me to Jesus camp in an attempt to "fix" me. (Although, that is partly because I know my dad would tell the latter to GTFO.)
I'm not really worried about such a thing with my mother because I know she thinks homophobes are complete and utter douchebags, and her boyfriend isn't one. And she's like way obsessed with him...

I don't know if it's
I don't know if it's important to your parents, the whole gay issue. But my parents specifically asked potential daters if it would bother them if they found out their child was gay. Meaning if they had kids and they turned out to be gay, you know? Yeah. So. That's awesome in my opinion. My mom's boyfriend actually has a gay sister. I haven't met her yet, but I've heard good things about her.
If you're ever worried about something like that, you should just talk to your parents. It seems to me that your dad cares about you enough to stop dating someone because they didn't like you (which means they weren't right for each other anyway). So don't feel bad. He loves you and definitely wants the best for you. He'll appreciate that you want the same for him.
I love that you're already scheming about Thanksgiving and it's not even Halloween, hell, it's not even September yet. But this way, you'll think of something good to say/do.

I know it's important to my
I know it's important to my mother all of a sudden, but I'm not so sure about my dad. We don't talk about it often. The last time we did was around March or so.
I should probably talk to him about it, but I'll probably wait and see if they get serious first.
Hehe, I know. XD But I always need to plan things way, way in advance.
