love and contempt

Hey kids...so life is-a-changing. I just left my local medieval group, siting their lack of life ambition as a contributing factor. It's not that I didn't love Uberheim, but I'm looking to start surrounding myself with a more motivated group of people. I have been treated poorly by alot of them. What I've come to realise is that for someone to ( Read more... )

Hey honey my dad is alot like that too, me and my dad used to fight every day. I actually remember my dad telling me that the most important thing in life was credit, more important than family and more important then friends. You know I don't feel that way, and it took him a long time to except that this is me, and I'm never going to be like him, and his choices are to hate me for it or love me anyway, He loves me anyway...I hope that you and your dad come to a place where you can love each other anyway even though you have very different ideas of what is important in life. If you ever need to talk I'm here for you, and for what it's worth I think your a great person.

It's a shame that family has to be so complicated sometimes...I mean, they're FAMILY, they're supposed to be the people you can count on to love you and support you no matter what. It's supposed to be unconditional. I really admire you for working so hard to try and build a relationship with your dad. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be that it's not the way you had envisioned it.

Although I can't totally relate, I'm always an open ear if you need it.

Let us know when you want to spend more time with a motivational group! ;-)

Irony: I am able to join FALO now, but I'm not going to because I want to concentrate on my career. I love getting the invites and if I'm free when there's an event and I have an invite, I'm there.

Well keep accepting the invitations (I can't yet invite you but I'm sure others shall!), and maybe when you're settled we'll all be clamoring for you!

Adam...I know that this isn't what you mean by family (being we are not related by blood), but in my heart you will always be a part of my family. I mean...Uncle Adam is going to have to teach my future children how to sing. And who else will my kids be able to run to with tales of their parents misspent early years. I love you like a brother sweetie, and that's the truth. You ever need to talk...drop me a line and I'll call.
Oh...and in case you needed to hear it, I know Bill feels the same way.

My grandmother said, Well she's the better person because of it!
I was floored. I sat with my mouth open in disbelief. I can't recall ever being that shocked and offended. I mean, I've been lit on fire because I'm a jew and this was 10x more offensive.
Don't know about being lit on fire, but let me tell you - being my mother's daughter didn't score me any points with my dad's mom/dad/sister (who completely HATED my mother) - and looking like my father never scored me any points with my mom's extended family (those other than the immediates)....so in some respect, I can see where you are coming from - a little. And yea - it sucks and sometimes you can't believe what comes out of the mouth of the "elderly" and "family"....you really have to wonder what they are thinking at times ( ... )
