Even though The whole Christmas phone tag thing was bothering me, I decided to call my Dad, and I'm glad I did. I do love my Dad but this whole thing every year is aggravating. But not enough to keep me from calling him. It was a nice conversation and I'll work a bit harder at staying in touch. Maybe one day we can discuss the whole phone tag thing, but right now, it's not that important. Some folks on here (you know who you are) had me thinking and I figure it can't hurt. I want to thank you all for being here for me. I do still have some resentments to work through. Probably that was more the reason for not calling than anything else. Peace to you and yours!
Good for you Dave. Resentment is a hard thing to work through. I think the idea of children should call the parents is old fashioned but I know that older people often cling to these ideas and can't let them go. I remember my mother being very fixated on her own ideas and beliefs. It drove me mad and I challenged her all the time. It done no good, I got annoyed, that was the outcome. Since alanon I feel I have grown up a lot and if my mother was still alive I would have been able to do what you have done. Keep up the good work
