Time to Rebuild

[Jen_Jam]

Detachment....yes, I think that could be the winner.
I am fine the way I am
I have a H who accepts me for who I am
I have a Dad who isn't 100% happy with me.
He isnt' 100% happy cos he's never learned that you can't change others. He doesn't know what it is to truly love someone.
I upset him once - H and I had just moved into our house (and I imagine moving house is stressful the world over!) and he started wittering on about us selling the place and buying a nicer one!!!! He actually told me that I should only live there for 5 years. I think his words were "you will only want to live there for 5 years". I got annoyed and I told him that the reason he's never been really happy is cos he's never turned round to look at what he's got in the present and appreciate it, he's always looking for the next, ne and improved thing. It really hit a nerve with him.
But...detach, that's his problem, not mine. I'm far more aware than he'll ever be.
OK, a little Dad focussed I know...onto H focus..
He's still being absolutley wonderful. I don't know what it is but it feels so good, it's like a warm fuzzy honeymoon period. It's GREAT!

Onto me - stressed at work but I'm learning to like myself and accept that I am actually a great person. It' not easy but I'll get there. It's good to ignore negative thoughts!
