I was referring to Ricecake Mike... our third partner. You'll meet him tomorrow. 
Your family has always bothered me. They seemed so strict and just outright mean to you. But they are your family, and the best you can do is just take the good they gave you and try to work on the bad. That's true even of me, I guess. My mom had lots of issues before she went on lamictal. She's still somewhat suicidal (although not as bad as before) and I can't get close to her the same way I can other people... even though I feel closer to her than I do most other people... This isn't making any sense.

Anyway, I'm always willing to talk.

Yes. But it didn't start out like that. Took years to chip away all our rough edges.

Our priorities may shift over time, too. We're still very young and more tied to our families.
