Help -- Prayers & Good Thoughts, Please. Estranged Dad CALLED --
and wants to see me TONIGHT! Its quarter after midnight here, and I must be an idiot, because I'm putting my shoes and socks on, and heading out to the hospital.

DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT --

I've been telling myself that it was okay that we were estranged because HE hasn't called me in the last six months, even though he has been telling everyone else he wanted to make peace in what I perceive is a very manipulative way, and THEN HE CALLED.

So much for my ongoing mental justification for staying away.

I'll read your replies when I get back. I don't even know what I want. Energy for doing the right thing, maybe? Courage in facing my demons? Compassion for his?

Oh, crap, why did I answer the damn phone? And why is my beloved husband out of town on business tonight?

Wish me luck, please....

1. Sending positive energy your way
Family dysfunctions are no fun to deal with. Hope all goes well and you do not get caught up in his BS.

2. It already sounds like you have your thoughts together on this...
Asking yourself the right questions are important. You are of sound mind and have a huge heart. You will know what to do - follow your heart. Good luck!
