i think i posted here about how iam in family therapy with my dad, and step mom..
I have made alot of mistakes and trying to move forward.. my boyfriend and i took responsiblity and iam trying to get my life back on track.
my dad just has a horrible temper, gets in my face, throws things ( not at me), We just cant move forward because all he does is yell
WELL THE OTHER NIGHT I went to therapy ALL BY MYSELF AND I FELT LIKE A NEW WOMAN!!. I just poured my heart out and told him everything that has been going on. I told him Iam scared to come home after work because I know my dad will just yell and get into my face. I just freeze and cant talk so then i just hide in my room. I lie to him to protect myself.
I told the therapist that I love my dad he raised me ( my mom died when i was 12) but its very hard to have a relationship with him when hes loud, scary and not easy to talk to him. If he was a patient man then its a WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY..
ANYWAY, the therapist totally agreed with me and made me feel so much better.. HE SAID ITS OK TO WALK AWAY WHEN HES MAD. he goes its OK to come home.
hes going to try and talk to him.. but hes not easy..

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
and it is ok to walk away from someone who is being mean......you have to protect you and your feelings - but am very happy and you should be very proud for being so brave and talking about what needed to come out
yeah!!!!
