It was a one-sided expression of exasperation, and it felt good to not get into that unproductive back-n-forth.
I must admit that I did feel frustrated, as I was interpreting it as stemming from the same resentment, hypocrisy, and unforgiveness that I had seen in the latter years of our M. Your interpretation of my merely not fitting her expectations is a good alternative that leaves me feeling less "stuck" in the past, and better able to stay present and future oriented. Thank you!

As perfectly exemplified in the arrival of the Christ child to the world, hope springs eternal and illuminates a very bright future, even in the darkest of hours. May this new year find each of us with bountiful peace and happiness.
