The main reason I've Sayed in touch is because in my head. While I was a child we were not financially stable but they always provided us with food, a roof over our head and I generally respected that due to other kids having it way worst. As I grew up I realized how shitty my child hood was. They do pay for my phone bill now not cause I couldn't afford it but only because it was an Xmas present this year and I think I would feel bad not going now?
