I agree with you Debbie....Papa Bear used to lie to his parents when they asked him when he went to Church. He tried to not say anything, but if they pushed the issue, he didn't tell the truth! That bothered me and I wished he felt he could be straight with them.


Need to know basis, a good thing to aim for!

I have tried not to be like my parents, and most of the time I succeed (although that is open to perception, I'm sure) I do think I'm a "better" person and my friends IRL agree with me (they would do I suppose, as they are my friends) I've never once been accused of lying IRL except by my father who said "you're a stranger to the truth"... I don't remember what that was about but maybe he was talking about himself.

He only once told me he loved me and that was on my wedding day. I don't blame him for that, it was the "way he was brought up".

Thanks for your truth about my posts!
