For the past couple weeks i've been telling people how excited I am to go to the family reunion where go and pick apples. I couldn't wait to see everybody as this is the first time i could make it in a while. So I go. I end up getting into a fight with my dad. We scream and yell. I'm not a screaming and yelling type. Then, I leave. I have never ( Read more... )

I think he had a point with >>> "but you need to learn that sometimes things are said in anger that we do not mean ( ... )

i just feel like by him not responding verbally and talking to me about it, we haven't solved anything and that these things are going to keep popping up, and that's rediculous. Just dropping it, the next time one of us does something the other doesn't like, we're going to blow up again, instead of us having talked it over and agreed to work on things...

yeah dude, I totally understand what you're saying there.

Do I think it would be better if you were able to talk about it? well, yes.
But sometimes you can't do what you think would be better. If he's not going to respond with more than what he said, then he's not going to. You can't change that.

It just sounds like one of those situations that you don't really have control over, so you just have to forgive and move on.
You might not feel like anything was solved. And maybe not. But I think both of you learned from the situation, and might be more hesitant to blow up in the future before trying to work things out rationally??

so yeah.. I see your point 100%. Just don't put too much energy into wanting to do something that you can't control.. :/

*deep breath*
wow.
*shakeshead*

I don't have much to say... other than I've been there... where I've gone out on a limb... and felt like I have little/no appropriate response. It's hard for people to be strong and I respect that you are making an effort to be honest and thereby strong.
