Do I really have to choose?

Some of you my know that I grew up with my mom. My parents divorced when i was 6. So, I went through most of my life without a good, stable father-figure. It was hard and I cn see the impact that has had in my life.

But, I was lucky enough to have been able to make things right with my dad recently. I am thrilled and I feel more whole and content now. My sister and I, as a sort of commemeration, got matching "Dad" tattoos. I love it! But I wasn't sure how my mom would handle it because she spent so much time and energy trying to keep me away from my dad. So, I decided not o tell her. She, of course, found out. And she's not happy. She didn't speak to me for a long time...

She told me all the reasons that I will regret it and how I shouldn't trust my dad (who is a good guy). Anyways...I just really wish there wasn't so much pressure to...choose.

Do I really have to choose? Pushing my dad aside would put me back in good graces with my mom but I love my dad. He doesn't really pressure me to choose but my mom sure does. I want to have good relationships with both my mom and dad...but how it that possible?

Ugh! Idk. Things will work out I guess.
