A few days ago my father and I had a tough discussion and the subject matter immediately made me feel like I did as a child caught between two divorced parents. It dredged up so much past junk that I immediately felt (and got ) defensive. But tonight we had another opportunity to discuss it without either one of use getting upset and it was wonderful to acknowledge the past, but move forward in a new way. It really gave the visit a nice sense of closure for me.
