I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.

I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.

When you are born into a family like mine, you don't really know anything else. But you quickly realise that it's more about other people and how they are dealing with it. Some can be hugely in awe or uncomfortable, but to you, your parents are just your parents.

I like my parents but they are just not good parents. They are nice enough people. I'm not interested in hurting their feelings.

I'm an only child, and I think one of the sweet things about that is that my parents are really interested in every aspect of my life.

Both my parents are actors, in very different ways.

I think my parents love that I want to do something a little different than what they do.

I love my parents very much, but people either continue or break the patterns of what their life should be and I just want to completely break whatever patterns would lead me to the same life choices that they made.

At some point, you realize your parents are human. They make the best decisions they can with the options available to them.

Luckily, I have two of the coolest parents around. They're so open about having any and all experiences, so they never hindered us in any way by categorizing or judging anything.
