Kia
I haven't gone into a flare, which is most excellent and surprising. I have been so damn busy after coming back from my 'road trip' and what a 'trip' it was.
My mother was full blood, mixed tribe Indian. The Native American kind :)
My father was German; which doesn't really pertain to this story. He was married to a woman for 20 years, I'll call her, oh I don't know....how about Know It All. Kia for short. My father died in 1995. He raised me and he and I were very close. I spent the 20 years with Kia as my step-mother being resented.
I understand it is very common to resent and be jealous of your husband's daughter from another woman as a love between father and daughter is unconditional and not complicated by sex; whereas a romantic love between a man and a woman is much more complicated.
Had to lay the groundwork. After my father died Kia wants to be my BFF. I've felt completely obligated (yes for 15 years now) to maintain a relationship. Kia remarried a new age hippieish man in his 70's whom I honestly like and enjoy his company. Kia and Hippie man are retired and have a summer spot 3 hours from my home, one reason I love winter. Hence my Road Trip.
