Um, wow Gyps, that is quite an image. I dont know if I really want to picture that in my head :). You are right though, they do flush us away and screw up their own lives as well. Yet, they are so wrapped up in all the distraction they have created for themselves they dont see the garbage around them yet. In time, they will.
I am so impressed that you were able to have that conversation with your Dad. I think that we hold our parents to a higher standard than our spouces, so when a parent betrays us it is much harder to let go. After all, half of who we are is from that parent. If that parent can act so ugly towards us, does that mean we are ugly too? When we enter a R, in the back of our minds we know that there is a small possibility that our S may betray us, we just believe it will happen. So I think detaching from a WAS is significantly easier than from a parent. Both are hard and it sucks that we have to learn these lessons, but it also makes us stronger people in the end. Just my opinion.
Hope you are doing well and keep singing LOUD!
