Visit With Dad and Parrish Family

Hey Everyone,
I must say that the visit with my father, step-mother, brother, grandparents, and aunt went as bad as I expected! I didn't get their support (which I knew going into it), I didn't even want to go and see them but like my mom said it would be the last time before I start training. They questioned me on everything (which is expected most people don't know anything about the military), they thought I was stupid for going Army instead of the other branches and for joining at the time that I have, they didn't believe me when I told them that I had been working out and getting both physically and mentally in shape, they couldn't understand why I wanted to join, and they mentioned on more than one occasion and worded in several different ways that they weren't sure I could do it!
Well...I must say they are wrong!!!! They are coming up on July 4th and my mom thinks I should go to show them how buffed up I will be (I will have already taken the test and passed with flying colors) we will see what happens when it gets closer to that date!
Its sad when I can get more support, prayers, and blessings from close family friends and strangers than I can from my own family members!
I've been bad and haven't worked out the last 4 days and I only have 49 days until I report for duty so I'm going go hit the gym!
Heather
