A little disconnect
There might have been a little disconnect between my dad and I. He is again pressuring me into doing things without understanding the difficulty I am going through. He is sometimes getting the upper hand in these conversations and I am losing a bit of ground in these discussions. I am worried that there is a big power advantage that he has over me and I cannot get the balance of power back. I don't even want it to be a balance of power I just want it to be a regular calm discussion as we have become used to lately. I hope that I get the balance back somehow.

Yes I know all about the power struggle between a Dad and Daughter. I had plenty of them and communication struggles with my Dad before he passed away. It\'s weird now the things that use to get on my nerves that I couldn\'t stand about my Dad. I have an appreciation for and I actually miss them. Now I would even welcome him giving me a piece of his mind and telling me about myself and nagging me if it meant that he could talk to me again. Gees sometimes we just don\'t know what we want LOL!
