i get along with the fam pretty good now that i stopped drinking...
there have been 3 different 3 or 4 year periods where I did not talk to my pops...
we have had fist fights and a bunch of crazy fuck up shit to say to each other...
but I put that aside so I can have a relationship with my little brother who is 15 and lives at his crib...
family is pretty much you get what you give, unless they are nuts, then just write it off.
