There's a fine line sometimes between being right and speaking one's truth. I love the way you put it. Speaking the truth without shouting is a much better way to be heard.<br /><br />H-Girl will wake up someday and realize that she no longer needs to be so right all the time. She'll also realize just who taught her that, my friend. I don't know if you realize it or not, but you do an amazing job of teaching by example, Rob. She might not acknowledge it right now, but she's been hearing you all along.<br /><br />Hang in there kiddo. It's so good to see you posting. I know it's been a rough road lately, but you truly have been missed.<br /><br />Warm Hugs,<br />~Mrs BMary Sullivan Frasierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10796241299065062308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-40178491330896984342011-05-10T20:40:26.390-04:002011-05-10T20:40:26.390-04:00I knew you didn't kick the bucket, but I would...I knew you didn't kick the bucket, but I would be very unhappy if I thought you became the bucket.

As always, yes, glad to hear from you. <br />Your insights are always valuable. <br />I have had to face the difficult decision on how much of myself to give up or not in having certain relationships. I finally chose myself. Not sure if that means I am right or not, just that some relationships will never work out even if they are 'supposed' to because society says they should. I think when you are dealing with mental illness the rules may be a little different.<br />I like what you have decided about the kids. Forced displays of love are definitely not real love. They'll get it eventually. You have laid a good foundation.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-57101174934845884942011-05-10T12:53:09.635-04:002011-05-10T12:53:09.635-04:00I miss your words too.

This one woman I used to date... with whom I was deeply in love... always had to be right. Always! ALWAYS!!<br /><br />She is so alienated today... from her family, from her child...<br /><br />And she still calls me, because, "Shoes, you were the only one that understood me..."<br /><br />Maybe so, but I got tired of her always needing/having to be right...<br /><br />That's sad...<br /><br />Did I go off on a tangent here?<br /><br />Probably...<br /><br />~shoes~Red Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919277206516592912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318801159753696568.post-55929316883521081442011-05-09T22:37:50.453-04:002011-05-09T22:37:50.453-04:00I agree that people are the most cruel to the ones...I agree that people are the most cruel to the ones they love most but probably because they feel they can tell them the truth and truth isn't always fun.<br /><br />I feel like the "both can be right from their viewpoint" is also politics in a nutshell. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong but man do we fight over it. <br /><br />The right versus loved is a toughie. Some people I would rather be loved by and some don't deserve that love back and I know I'm right by NOT letting them back into my life or hearing them out. Life is balance.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well!

They haven't really lived long enough to feel the kind of pain that leads to compassion. Give it time. I figure you are just having migraines and dealing with your dad.
