Insight on the step ladder downwards
Hey LJ,
Steph and I were talking on line and somehow I came around to shedding some insight on my dad. I thought it was worth being mentioned here:(I'm talking about their weird demanding work hours) they've been doing it for so long, there used to it. i think the work makes my dad meaner, actually i know it does. its hard to be empathetic when he takes it out on everybody emotionally. i know how it feels to walk in the snow to work. when it snows he's out there unloading the truck. i want to be able to relate to him but he does things like put key locks on the tv's and has motion detector lights set on auto. if i want to take a bath or the shower i have to get up mid way and wave my arms around outside the tub so the lights come back. he constricts freedom. it ends up making him as miserable as he makes others feel. i'm happy i'm not him. thats a depressing way to be. pulling people down to your level so that you don't feel alone in the misery
