Sometimes it hurts to do whats right

[Fender]

Hey Ian, a few posts back you mentioned "talking" to your grandfather. I know excatly what you mean, been there done that. It is very theraputic and it does help.

I like what you told your D. One you admitted to her you made a mistake and two you also told her you are going to correct it. One thing GF tells me is that kids need boundries and you just established one for your D.

It is also commendable that you realized that your W and D need to have a realationship, even if D is resisting it right now.

If I learned nothing else from the events that unfolded yesterday, I did learn that I must be willing to do the things that I preach to others around here and that includes being a good enough father to not be afraid of having my kids get mad at me. I cannot tell others to think about what they are doing and not do it myself, I have to be accountable for my own actions as well.

Heck of a lesson, eh? Learned this one a time or two myself.
