1. I have a rocky relationship with my dad ever since he threw me out of his house after my 18th birthday.
2. I blame myself for some of the issues that went on in my parents' divorce
3. I used to have no self esteem or friends in HS due to the above. I did not want to "burden" anyone with my problems.
4. Fatbooty is a real friend and is the only person from before college I still talk to on a regular basis due to number 3.
