5. READING
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
My parents married when they were very young: my mother was eighteen and my father twenty.
They fell in love soon after they met and married nine months later. Fights and arguments
between my parents were a daily occurrence. After a fight my father would leave and go to my
grandparents'.
I was very close to my grandmother for she was a kind and loving person; the total opposite of
my mother. Hannah was an excellent cook, seamstress and housekeeper. She was also a nurse
and would get up every morning cook, clean and then go to work at the state hospital for boys.
She babysat me, my brothers and sister constantly, even after the divorce. Hannah was a saint.
When we went to the local football and high school basketball games, the cheerleaders were
in the spotlight for my mother. After a game we would compare who was the cutest, thinnest,
heaviest cheerleader. I would practice cheers in my room and after my mother caught me one
afternoon she laughed and said I had to lose twenty pounds. I laughed along. But later I wrote
in my journal how disgusted I was with my weight, how I secretly wanted to be a popular
cheerleader with many boyfriends. Unfortunately Mum found the journal and read it at dinner
one night. I was so upset.
My first steady boyfriend Roger gave me a silver ring with a peace sign on it. Mum
immediately wanted me to give it back. Of course I didn't and Roger eventually broke my heart
so I had to hear another round of "I told you so" when he asked for his ring back. I was so
humiliated.
Now that I am a mother, I can better understand why mum was so severe and overprotective
but I‘m doing my best to be my children’s friend, however teenagers never stop
complaining!
