Oh yeah.. Joy and I were just talking, and we hit on the parent topic. *sigh* Joy's parents talk to him online a lot, and call him once in a while... and they really talk.

I guess it's a touchy subject for me. I've had a hard time dealing with it, because my parents never call unless there's something one of us needs, and even then... we don't talk a whole lot. I know they love me- and they know I love them. I tell them so everytime we talk... but I need reassurance, because I forget things like that too easily sometimes.

With anyone- I need to hear what they feel, even if they do show it. Sweet with words, I guess would be the phrase.

On the bright side, that's probably a big factor in why I need good friends in my life so badly, and why I'm so close with my siblings. I make up for the lack of closeness with my parents in other places.
