I am bad at tagging - my shoulder is making typing harder

 

My daughter has totally pissed me off. She was having a hissy-fit - she thinks she has her reasons but she is totally out of line.

 

I kept my voice down - I told her a couple of truths about my life - I know she has a bad spine - I know - of course - I have the same. Sure I am not facing a spinal fusion - yet - it might still happen but hopefully I will make it to my end without further intervention

 

I started to write what she said - but thought - why? Who wants to read that? I don't want to write it?

 

I am so disappointed in her. I asked her to do a small thing that I could have done for someone else regardless of my pain - I don't understand her issue - it was a phone call - 

 

I can get angry - I get proactive when I am angry. I do things. I write letters, send emails now. I have demonstated. I have changed things in the office and other parts of my life in the past when it was necessary. I am assertive.

 

It was hard to hear her have so much so wrong. It's impossible for her to undercut my confidence or awareness of myself - I have had time enough to examine myself thoroughly.

 

And I have been tested

 

My heart feels broken. I told her I would let be for as long as she needed and I will not reach back until she does. She has so often got upset about a trivial matter - but that's her

 

Aw - that was a bad conversation but I said the right stuff which probably made it harder for her

 

Shit - I love her and I would do anything for her
