Yo........I agree w/ Blackdragon...................

Even though it was a long time ago & included many more "sticky" subjects (considering my "relationship" w/ my dad)He didn't want to hear it, but when he was in town & I happened to be inpatient paych; my PSYdoc, Daddy & I sat down for a 3 hour "chat" --- talk about tense!!!! It helped a little, but not as much as I had hoped for.

So, since I like to write alot I sat down half a zillion times; and tried to just "no bars hold" write my dad a letter; never intending to send it.......until after the 16,000,000 one!

I finally sat down w/ all these letters & picked out "the best of the best" parts from all; then had to "thin it out"

I finally did "mail it" (in one huge vanilla envelope) called him to tell him to expect a "letter" from me coming & to just "remember to read it several times" before we talked about it.

We finally got together for coffee in a outdoor cafe; in fall.......first, he yelled, I cried, he cried, he asked a lot of "why's?", I creid a lot of "I don't know's" We agreed to disagree, gave each other a big hug & parted ways.
A lot of work.....(whew!).......but, now....we at least understand in a "strange" way.............

My 5 cents worth!
