It feels that in my life with my 2 parents, my stepdad Ed has control or say in everything.
It’s not particularly a large deal obviously.
My mom is just pleased with life in general. I think it’s because Ed does all he can to make sure our lives are phenomenal in every way imaginable, however Ed has worked his butt off over the years and it has paid off huge. My mom constantly wanted to be a stay at beach house mom and take care of me and my siblings growing up and Ed worked 2 jobs to help make sure that happened. I believe I shouldn’t say Ed is controlling even though he does want to see my mother glad at all costs. Ed doesn’t particularly adore his health or if he’s tired. Ed will find a way to succeed at all costs. These afternoons he doesn’t have to toil 2 jobs so Ed gets to spend more time with us at home, which is a large change before I turned 10. I barely saw Ed. Now that he’s at the beach house all the time he takes control of the tv, brunch opportunities and the temperature control of the house. I’m not particularly a large fan of Ed messing with the dial thermostat settings because he is never comfortable. This really makes me feel uncomfortable because one hour I think the nice air conditioner and 10 hours later I think the furnace is running on full blast. I don’t think if he is still trying to find comfort in being at the beach house even though Ed is now messing with my livelihood. Regardless, I’m going to supply it with a bit of time. I hope he figures it out soon.
