Yes yes, keep them that way. Not that I think you could change them for the worst if you wanted. You're just that awesome of a person.
Honestly, I wish I could move my mother out of that house. We haven't always gotten along, but right now we're doing quite well in relation to each other, I feel. As well as we can do, anyway. I don't wish any of them ill, obviously, but for her I wish better.
I've inherited a lot of bad traits from the both of my parents--traits I've spent quite some time learning to overcome--but I've also inherited a sense of wonder in the world. I've developed the need to explore and create and BECOME, which I can sit here and blame on Sartre all day, but it had to have started somewhere before that for me to have so readily found myself at home with those concepts. Basically, it's not all bad, which is why I feel so badly about wanting to stay away. I feel like I owe them for all of the things they DID do for me, still do for me.

Being an autonomous person can be so confusing.
