and I love her very much.

Awwwww. If Dixie is still your Dad's girlfriend, she's likely to be channeling some of her own Momming habits, too. Be kind. I'm glad you love me, and I'm glad you aren't looking for a Better Momma.

But it's tough to know how to deal with a boyfriend's Family.

(heh) What's she doing that's so annoying?

Dixie isn't dad's girlfriend anymore, though they're still on good terms.

But ughhhhHHH. Catherine keeps trying to get me to switch colleges to a california college and I don't want to- the way this works works well for me.

Besides that she keeps giving me "helpful" tips on things and

it's like, I am 20 years old, not 15. I'm not going to resent you for dating my dad. I am going to resent you for trying to plan my life for me.

Pfffffttt. What helpful things?
