My dad has been sober for about 3 weeks now. On Wednesday wasn't a good day. I started off the day that I locked my keys in the car. I had to have a friend come up and open the door for me so I could open the door. I call my dad and told him I was running late and why. I told him 15 it would take my friend to get to my house. But it took my friend a little longer. I had an appointment with my cousion to get car insurance, so I was running really late. Well I get up to my dads house and he is so mad that it took me that long to get there. When my friend open the door it took from 30 to 45 minutues to get to the house. My mom is out of the state that is why he was bringing me. Well he made me get keys made, and gave me such a hard time. I was crying because I was so upset about what happen. I hadn't eaten anything so I stop at the gas station and got something to eat, and then I went back to my parents house. We left shortly after my return. Got up to the car insurance place and we forgot a whole bunch of things. One of the most important is we didn't bring the car. Well the next day i had to fax all the information that she needed. I have add my husband to the car insurance and I am hoping that it is not a mistake. But of course I can't control anything.
The next day I faxed all the stuff and she filled out the check that I gave her and it was done. My dad called to apolize for being so angry. He was dealing with angry in the program that he is doing for out patient.

Hello nycbt,
Thank you for your post. I felt so excited that your dad did apologize but you didn't say how you felt about it? IN our case we do have control over we put on our car insurance so we do have control over that. It sounds like you did well and handled things the best you could. Has you and your dad's relationship gotten better yet since his recovery has started? I sure hope it has. It took a long time to see a difference in my daughter. REcovery was hard for her and it took quite awhile to see her healthy and happy and more like herself again :) Keep focusing on you and posting. your friend in recovery , cdb :)
