My Dad's B-day was Jan 17th tooo and my momma is a Leo. They had a very rocky relationship. VERY Love/Hate. The did wind up getting divorced after being together 21 years but they still loved each other very much. He would always call my mom even after she re-married. (He passed in an accident about a year ago) She now says that there are so many things that she would have done differently and if she wasn't so stubborn it could have worked.....if only I knew about DB/DR then...
Weird that you both know someone with his b-day. . .(twighlight zone theme playing overhead)
Sep I think my hubby and I are the same. VERY love/hate. It's ridiculous. My hubby just doesn't bounce back from the hate part as quickly as I do I guess. He holds onto things longer even though he is always telling me to drop it. Oy.
I do need to let go of my control issues and my stubborness. We are such good friends. That's what hubby always says that we are great friends. So our counselor asked us where we start to have problems and we did not have an answer at the time but thinking about it the last day or two I have realized that it is when we (or rather I) have unmet expectations that I get upset and we end up with friction between us which explodes into an argument. So now the question is. . .how do I keep myself from having expectations in the first place and then if I do have an expectation or need that goes unmet how do I keep myself from getting upset. It's sooooo hard for me to let things go until I say how I feel about it. If that makes any sense at all. . .
Sep that part about your Mom and Dad really makes me think that lifes to short. If only they had know that they prob. could have worked it out. I'm sure your SDad is great but it's not the same is it?
