It's easy to talk to Dad - I might have something to puzzle out and I ask him out loud what I should do - I don't hear him but ideas come to me
And I feel this in my heart - he says what he did when I was a child - "If you are in the right you don't need to argue and if you are in the wrong you can't afford to - and you know you didn't do anything wrong so you don't need to argue about it"
So it stopped me from arguing with Mum and TS - and Dad did make it up to me - I remember having outings and shooting lessons from him - and he taught me a lot about the classical world and maths -
But I find it hard to talk to my mother even though she is dead - and TS - oh dear - I can only take care of myself and not fall into her traps - it's very difficult - but
I prayed for years for my mother - and I pray for TS - and I am careful what I pray for because I might just get it - so I leave what I ask for to God and tell him I have the door open for her if she wants to play nice
When it comes to Life LIne I think carefully what I want to talk about before I ring - so I have my programme - as it were - sometimes I work it out withouit actually ringing up - I used to be a TC for Grief Line so I know what works for me - I think
I have to go to bed soon - I hope I feel okay tomorrow - I do not like waking up feeling like the undead - which is how I felt this morning
Thanks girls - for your kind thoughts
