"Secrets taste best when they're buried..."

[renee-graves]

Ashley what did you want me to...? Oh..

[renee-graves]

please marry me reneee!!!

Are you serious right now?

I’m sitting here scraping together whatever’s left of my family, trying not to fuck it up worse than I already have, and you think it’s cute to pop in with “marry me”?

I don’t have the time, the patience, or the emotional bandwidth for anonymous jokes like this. My heart’s already stretched thin between two kids who barely trust me some days.

So no. Hard no.

[renee-graves]

Uh... I guess she's in control... For the moment...

[renee-graves]

Renee renee...

What do you think of your kids whenever you see them? has Andrew been treating you better than your relatives?

Well, every time I see them… sometimes I see myself… weird, right? Well, I'm their mother, so the resemblance is undeniable… I love them both, but one is a bit more extroverted than the other… As for Andrew, he's been a good son. Let's just say our relationship is improving, but with Ashley… she still hasn't forgiven me, but I know deep down she's still that little girl who needs me.

[renee-graves]

Hey Renee just curious..what’s your relationship with your daughter? How do you feel about her over time?

My relationship with her remains somewhat complicated, confusing, and sometimes it still hurts. I know I wasn't the mother she needed back then, and I know I left a mark on her. She has every right to keep her distance. But nothing will ever change the fact that I love her with all my heart.

[renee-graves]

We know about your husband's parents and little bit about your mother and sister but what about your dad?

Was he better then your mom or was he even worst?

Ah… Dad.

He wasn’t cruel like my mother. He was just… gone. Physically there, emotionally checked out. Work, bars, silence. He never hit us, never yelled. He just let her do it and looked away.

Worse than her? In a way, yes. She at least engaged. He abandoned us without ever leaving the house.

That’s why I swore my kids would never feel that emptiness… and then I went and left them too. Life’s a bitch like that.

So yeah. A ghost in a tie. That was my father.

Just like Douglas...

[renee-graves]

Andrew-w... Lower that... Please

[renee-graves]

"Hey Renee, Jesus man!"

Uhm, what's going on?

[renee-graves]

Hey Renee new here so I have no idea if something like that was already asked..but how do you feel about the fact that you are probably continuing the circle of family trauma by making your son also take care of his sister to an unhealthy degree like you with your sister Connie?

You clearly hate your mother (for good reason) yet claim that you did your best for your own children despite being similar to her in that regard.. does that not bother you at all?

Sorry for answering late, but answering that..

I had Andy watch Leyley because I was gone, and she was chaos. It wasn’t right.

My mother ruled with fear. I swore I’d be different. But I pushed them the same way. I hear her in me. I hate it. And as for my sister... I don't want to talk about her.

Their closeness? Too much, maybe. My doing.

I did my best. It wasn’t enough. But I’m not her. I still try to see them.

It’s not the cycle that haunts me. It’s whether I can stop it.

[renee-graves]

It just needs some attention...

[renee-graves]

Hey Renee

Smash.

oh.. well I guess

[renee-graves]

Hey Renee, long time no see.

Me and my mother have been getting close lately. How's your relationship with your son?

Hey. Sorry for not replying sooner — Ashley’s been keeping me busy..

Things with Andrew have been… normal, I guess. We’re managing.

Glad to hear things are better with you and your mom.

[sun-almighty-wukong]

You're alright, daughter's can be tough.

That's great! He's been quite a loving son, right? Reigniting the familial bond between you two, I'm sure.

Thank you very much. Seems your children have been keeping you on your toes lately. Or just Ashley, at least.

[renee-graves]

He’s… been different lately.

Still caring, but distant in his own way. I’m not sure if it’s a phase or something else.

Ashley keeps things… complicated, as always.

But I suppose that’s just how families work, isn’t it?

[sun-almighty-wukong]

Caring, and distant... Might be something else. Never heard of a phase like that. As his mother, it's your responsibility to check in on him y'know. If mine didn't, we wouldn't have mended our relationship.

Heh, sure, just how families work. But I'm sure you know how far off that statement is. Ashley... sounds like she has more going on. Likely between her and her brother.

[renee-graves]

Sorry for the late reply.

I care about Andrew. More than you probably know. Sometimes it's… hard to reach him. And Ashley isn't exactly helping. They both have their own walls, and I'm doing my best not to break them down the wrong way.

You talk like it's easy, but it never is in this family.

[renee-graves]

Oh God… oh God… for the love of God…

Do they really think that he and I…!?

[sun-almighty-wukong]

Yeah its a horrible feeling. especially when youre the one making that mistake.

Besides, what are you getting so flustered for, Renee? No way he actually is anything like that to you, right?

[renee-graves]

Wh–what are you even implying!? He’s my son! How could you even think— No, that’s not—! I just… I just hate that people even say things like that…
