We are family. I think.

Just heard from Mom. No word from the state courts front. No news is...good news, I guess. Mom still wants to take Nicole, for a couple months, just to soften the blow. Naturally, Nicole has no idea why she is being taken from her parents. I mean, how do you explain to a seven-year-old that "Mommy and Daddy have been doing stupid things and making themselves sick so you need to go away for a while so they can learn to grow up"? Nicole, considering her genetics, is already screwed.
I'm sorry to say it. But pretty much all the women in our family are, well, nuts. Christina is Theresa's daughter. Theresa was Cameron's daughter. Cameron had a lot of problems. Dad married her when he was barely old enough to drink and there were times when he had to restrain her physically from hurting herself and him. Theresa was the ultimate wild child. Christina's antics don't surprise me. And Dan...he's an alcoholic. My poor Nicole won't have it easy. I just hope she'll be okay.
But the Capello women, too, have their own issues. I don't wonder about myself anymore. Thank gods I also have my mother's genetics, even though her family isn't exactly a cakewalk either. My grandparents were terrifying.
I guess nobody really has the perfect family.
I think this is why we tend to choose ours.
But sometimes that family can get just as pissed at us, so I've decided to apologize now for whatever neuroses I shall inflict later on.
