My Father - The Reconciliation

[rhedkrow]

Okay so here's the post that I have been putting off writing since I came back from Australia. To be honest I don't know why it's taken me a month to write it. Perhaps because all that anger and bitterness and frustration I kept holding onto just vanished when I spoke to him and saw him, or perhaps the feeling just got so old and tired and worn

Oh wow - that's a big deal! Sounds like you had to be really brave x

heh heh, weeeell, when it came to the crunch I felt okay, it was like I didn't have to invest too much emotion into it...I think I was ready for it to be honest!

Sweet! Now go slow and don't expect too much, too soon. You're better off flushing all the old crap down the loo, and be proud that YOU took the steps. Regardless of where it all goes from here, you have freed yourself from the anger you held for him in the past.

(Loo is Brit slang for toilet.)

Hahah and DUNNY is Aussie slang for loo, although I do use loo a lot now instead of dunny...funny how brit slang just gets into you vocab so easy. ;o)

And yeah, I'm not doing anything different really, I think what I've done is just leave the door open for him to walk through...

I'm really glad things have taken a positive step in this. I remember first reading about this a long time ago now. It's good to see.

Thank you, I really do think it's a positive thing, especially for me. I can finally move forward and leave all that crap behind me!!
