I've always thought I was a good parent. Not the most hip or cool, of course but I never thought I was overbearing in a smothering sort of sense either. I have, or have mostly had, a very good relationship with my oldest child. We've always been very frank with each other and I had thought fairly open as well ( Read more... )

You're a good father. You're...one of the least selfish people I know.

I don't know what else to say to you. I wish this wasn't happening to her. To you. My heart breaks when yours does.

I know you can't tell her. So tell me. Keep telling me. Okay?

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 08:31:45 UTC

Thank you, it means a great deal coming from you. Actually, it only means anything coming from you.

You really want to hear my jumbled thoughts on this? It's not too much to ask of you?

Re: locked to Lee lockhart_md July 6 2007, 08:33:20 UTC

Why would it be too much to ask of me, Lee? You know you can tell me.

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 08:35:53 UTC

I know that Sophia is likely to talk to you. I don't want you to feel like you're stuck in the middle.

And I know I can talk to you. I probably should have just spoken to you about this in the first place, instead of putting it here.

Re: locked to Lee lockhart_md July 6 2007, 08:40:36 UTC

I'm not going to tell her anything you and I talk about unless you want me to. I promise.

And you should know I'll keep her confidence, too.

I wish you would have...

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 08:41:51 UTC

I'm sorry. I was up late and you weren't around...I hate things just rattling around in my head.

And I'd never expect you to betray her confidence, honey.

Re: locked to Lee lockhart_md July 6 2007, 08:44:38 UTC

I know. I'm sorry I wasn't around.

I just wanted to make sure you knew.

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 08:50:01 UTC

You aren't my keeper. It's all right.

Re: locked to Lee lockhart_md July 6 2007, 17:14:07 UTC

What does that mean?

I want to be here for you, Lee.

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 18:24:39 UTC

You don't have to apologize for not being here the moment I feel like venting, that's all.

Re: locked to Lee lockhart_md July 6 2007, 18:44:17 UTC

Well, I want to be here. You can vent to me anytime, okay?

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 18:54:16 UTC

Okay. I will...you may regret this offer, you know.

Re: locked to Lee lockhart_md July 6 2007, 18:59:39 UTC

It's always been an open offer...I thought you knew that.

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 19:04:12 UTC

Well...to be honest, recently talking has only left us going in circles. I didn't know that you'd necessarily be open to discussing things with me at length.

Re: locked to Lee lockhart_md July 6 2007, 19:10:53 UTC

Talking about us, you mean? This is different.

Re: locked to Lee dr_hair July 6 2007, 19:13:11 UTC

Yes, about us and I do know this is different. Didn't know you'd feel the same. I'm glad you do. I am entirely grateful to you for just letting me talk this out and not trying to tell me I don't know anything and that I can't understand what Sophia may need.
