It's funny becuase i didn't know i was loved this much

So my stepdad took me shopping today (which got me my new hoodie yay) and yeah we started talking and he was starting to tell me about how he was always worrying about me and stuff. not because i can't take care of myself(i can) but becuase out of my entire family i'm the one he is closest to. and how if i just never came home one day he would be a total wreck and would probably have to be put in a mental institution.ok i have known my stepdad since i was 7 or 8 anways like 11-12 years and me and him have always been the closest out of the family. and we have always had this amazing relationship where it is all about respect and shit. then he told me that and i started crying. but then he kept going. he told me about how the way he sees our family is it is divided(and it is) and that when we methe noticed something, that my mom was always more concerned with what my brother was doing rather then me(which she still is) and that when he and my mom got together he made it a point to pay attention to me.and while that was happening he realized something, he realized we were equals even at age 8 he realized i was his equal. he went into this whole dr.who rose tyler thing but i doubt you would understand that so i won't bore you. and how he is going to be completely lost when i move(hopefully end of summer) and how he is going to worry and shit.he also said he isn't ready to see me go but he has full faith in me and that he knows it is time for me to leave becuase it pains him to see me in this enviorment everyday suffacting from the narrowmindness of the socity we live in and the fact that my mom hardly pays any attention unless she wants a babysitter. i feel terrible because all of this is true, everyword. i have alwas been the closest to him and i will probably never have as much respect and ability to talk to my mom as i do him which is strange to say since all the shit he has done(which he said he is stopping FUCK YA!).
He said he has never been this emotionally attached to anybody in his life, which can make sense if you think about it parents are always talking about how thier love for their children surpasses all other love but yeah i just never thought about it. I've never been emotionally attached to anbody as he is saying he is to me. so this is blowing my mind i can't believe this whole time i thought i was alone only to realize that yeah i'm not there is somebody who cares completely about me



Yeah i have always known i was loved i just didn't realize it was this much. the thought behind this blows my mind.
