“I hate my parents. I hate them with a passion. I mean, yeah, I know they love
me, but when it comes to the everyday things, they can really agitate me and
each other. We used to get into arguments constantly when I was in high school.
I could barely concentrate when they were at it, and once they started on me, I
was out the door before they could take a clear shot. I never wanted to get in
the middle, and I never did. It’s no wonder I turned out the way I did, unable
to face a real argument.
“I don’t blame them for everything, I just blame them for the big things,
like my drinking and drug problems. If it weren’t for their fights, I’d be a
straight A student, graduating with high honors, and going to some major
university. I wouldn’t be the druggie I turned out to be.
“Now, I know what you’re thinking. That’s not how I’m supposed to be
talking about my parents. I’m not supposed to be blaming them for all my
problems, but I always think in Freudian terms. ‘Blame your parents.’ All
that shit. I’d like to see you stay one night at my parents’ place. If you
don’t wanna pull your hair out and scream by the time you leave, then you must
have gone to the wrong house.
“Even when my friends were over, you could hear my mother and father screaming
at each other as if there was no one in the house. You can imagine how much time
I spent there. NONE! I was known for crashing at everyone else’s house. I
don’t think there was ever a night in my high school life that I was at home
in my bed for one night. Come to think of it, I don’t even remember what my
room looks like.
“It’s gonna be one weird night tonight, I can feel it. The not so odd part
about it is that I’m terrified of what they’ll think of Darren. I mean if
they reject him the second he walks into the house, I’ll be the one disowning
them. I’m not gonna wait for them to rip into me for choosing to marry a
musician. To tell you the truth, I don’t give a shit about what they’re
gonna say tonight. I don’t give a shit about what they think of Darren. He’s
in love with me, and that’s all that matters.
“Like one song goes… ‘No matter what they tell us, no matter what they do,
no matter what they teach us, what we believe is true. No matter what they call
us, however they attack, no matter where they take us, we’ll find our own way
back…’ I love Boyzone."
