my daughter took me off her friends list. i'm not sure when she did this, probably after i commented on her not going to work again yesterday. it pisses her off that i worry. it pisses her off that i voice my concerns...

and what do i have to be concerned about, anyway, besides the fact(s) that:

• she misses work on a regular basis,
• then lies about

In my experience, it was around...25/26 (years of age) that I started to really step back and reasses my perspectives. In my case, that turned out to be the beginning of the end, since my mother is homophobic and my change of life happened to coincide with my father leaving her...so it's all wrapped up together in her heart and mind and she thinks my wife "stole" me away just like the "other woman" stole her husband (plus there are two of my siblings reinforcing her, so...gah). Sad but true.

Well, before I write a small novel, I'll just say that I had to work myself up to the point where I realized I didn't like how I felt about my life and accepted that if I wanted to change how I felt then it was ME who had to take action to change it. Regardless of other people, regardless of the past, regardless of how I thought it could effect my future, it was only me who could break the patterns.

Since I don't know either of you, that's the best I can offer. Just know that one of the worst feelings in the world is when you run into somebody you used to know, and they find out you're not getting along with your mother/daughter, and they exclaim "but you two used to be so CLOSE?!" It's like reliving every argument over and over again just to arrive at the same deflated and lonely place.

So, thanks for the therapy session. Now, you two work this out!
