He reacted like he usually does when I get mad, he clams up. For years I have said that the only time he gets mad at me is when I get mad at him. It's frustrating.

We discussed it a little. It was far from the friendly, relaxed financial discussion that I was hoping for a few days ago. I admitted that I have alot of built-up resentments about money that I need to get past.

Great advice. Thanks.
