Thank you guys, I'm sure it'll get easier as I get used to it. I wish there was a respawn button for real life situations lol. I very much appreciate the advice! <3
As a child of a recently divorced couple, I am new to the balancing attention thing. Here's an example: I'm returning to the US after a year abroad, and my mom bought a plane ticket from LA to hometown for me a month ago. That's all good. Then, father says "hey, I should drive down to LA and we can make a trip of it!" and I'm like, crap, I should've planned this out better. So I think I need to say "hey, lets go on a trip on this weekend", right? Balance out saying yes and saying no? It gets complicated because it was a pretty nasty break with pops being the bad guy, so while I don't hate him, I'm still kinda uncomfortable being around him. Apparently running away to another country didn't solve anything on my end. So for the future, how do those of you with split parents handle situations like these, where one parent has offered one thing, and the other parent dishes up a conflicting offer? <3 V
P.S. After vehemently despising advice threads I now understand why they are created: Out of desperation and loneliness. I appreciate your kind words.
@CaptainCody: Yeah, I was lost in the kerfluffle of launch. Don't worry, if you're post count is more than a couple hundred, people will like you anyway.
