Yeah. That you were basically a chicken. I wonder why extending the olive branch and doing the right thing is so hard for us, just to merely take into consideration another's feelings...we basically suck at that. How pitiful is it we have to LEARN this?
Well, it's hard in my caseExcuse me? because SHE has done so much damage to our family in her repeated quests to 'be happy' because I wasn't making her happy. She is no 'matriarch' for this family Really, Frank? "Matriarch"? WTH? You know, I'm real sorry you didn't marry the long-suffering-June Cleaver-type, Frank. That sucks for you. But WTH do you think it's been like for her?! , just one of the teenagers it seems.
I try to extend the olive branch but then I keep saying 'wait a minute, I never did to her what she has done to me'. Right. That's the higher road. If you can't take it and just feel good about it without waiting for a reward don't bother taking it.
So I question why I should try, why I should care. Her Stepmom said to me "Why would you take her back and possibly put your kids through this a 4th time?" Well, I don't know why. Who said anything about taking her back? She isnt asking to come back. Do you do everything with a motive, Frank? How about just doing things for LOVE? Not the effort to obtain it but just for sake of SHOWING it?
I'll keep offering the olive branches, and I'll keep looking forward.
