Hey J, sorry I didn't catch up on your thread until this late in the game. I'm super tired right now so will probably just absorb and talk later. Sorry to hear about your mother. I just know she must be really proud of you and happy you are her daughter.
I talked to my dad for the first time in a couple of months tonight, he is out of the country. It's hard knowing that at his age and with months going by between conversations you never know which one might be the last. Very tough.
But when I shared some of how I felt more in acceptance lately he just laughed. He said that life beats the crap out of all of us, and eventually we just loosen up a bit. When we're riding a rickety roller coaster we can either hold on with white knuckles and feel every bump, or we can just relax our bodies and just kind of bounce along the way.
Maybe we all need to be broken by life a little bit to get to the point where we can go with the flow and enjoy a terrifying ride.
Even if this is true, I'm still willing to join forces to track down your ex and make him swallow a 3 ball. OK, this is why I shouldn't try to be funny this late. All I know is you didn't deserve that treatment and just because you made lemonade doesn't mean you don't deserve more than lemons. Hang in and talk soon.
