Life With Poly-Amorous Parents My parents are like any other parents. They both work, both
drive cars, both provide clothes and shelter and love for my
brother and I. But there's one major difference between my
parents and say, your parents, for instance (pardon me if I'm
lying, I don't really know you, just an example). They are
poly-amorous. This means that they are in love with more than one
person (or can be). I know it sounds really weird and strange but
they are my parents. They are pretty normal, save the stuff that
I don't want to know about (what goes on behind closed doors, if
you get my drift.) This has always been a big problem for me. One
time, my mom's *friend* was telling their neighbor about their
relationship w/my mom. In one genius move this woman (the
neighbor) almost made my life miserable. She told her son about
my mother (don't ask why), who, in turn, tormented my little
brother (they were in the same recess). This was probablly one of
the worst times of my life. I was scared to death that this
little boy would end up spreading these horrible (but true)
rumors about my parents to my school. But I kept it in. Because I
was embarrassed. Now, everything's fine....my little brother is
in the same school, but the "bully" moved on up to
seventh grade....I'm kinda hoping karma finds this kid and kicks
his ass. But my parents don't tell me about what they do, and I
don't ask. it's not so much a problem anymore, and I don't let it
interfere with my life. But I also don't talk about it unless
people ask. It's not like it should be broadcasted (although, I'm
being contradictory by just writing this....), but I do think
that people should know one thing: just because my parents aren't
necessarily normal doesn't mean I'm not normal. I mean, not only
that, but what is normal? I'm a teenage girl trying to figure
that out, but if you do know me and you do know my parents, who
cares what they do? It doesn't, and shouldn't, concern me. Lesson For The Day; 1.) Because someone's parents are
different, doesn't mean they are too. You can pick your nose, and
you can pick you friends, but you can't pick your family. which,
sometimes, sucks, but don't discriminate against someone because
of *mistakes* family members might have made in the past. What I Hope You've Learned: Sometimes, family life can mess
you up royally, but don't let it get you down. (I try not to).**by Lil Red from Massachusetts
