The Step Mother

My dad and my step mother are fighting again. I am sure it is about money and what she is expected to do in household chores and cooking. I know that does not sound great when trying to look into the area of feminism, but she is Vietnamese and she does not understand certain things that we overlook in America. I know that my dad gives her a great deal of money and she chooses to just save it. She doesn't even give any to her son. I think that she is making some stupid decisions. I just want my dad to be happy. He is not happy right now, and that means that I get depressed too. I hope he doesn't take this too harshly because I don't want him to put it on me. I know that getting out of here will be good for him. I just wish it was coming sooner, I don't want anyone blowing up. There is a lot that I still need to learn about this family. As the night has gotten later dad and I cooked dinner and desert together, I think that I was able to hep lift his spirit! I have to go for the evening.
