Tiki-Toa,

I can sort of relate as I lived with my mom and her husband as a kid.

I got the impression they sort of considered me a piece of furniture from some previous living arrangement that you had to drag along if you wanted to marry my mom.

Oddly enough, my time at the military academy didn't seem all too different from the life I experienced at home.
