Well, I love my parents, really. They both have been dealing with what I used to label as 'mental issues' for most of their lives. I feel like I've been parenting them for the longest time. At times it still infuriates me when they 'lean' on me with a whole bunch of problems while they were never able to (positively) guide me or my brother.
It's quite challenging to stay grateful in certain situations. When my mother calls I sometimes want to smash the phone against the wall and scream that she has to leave me alone. Instead I don't pick up and vent a little by writing here. I remember hearing Carla talking on the radioshow about acceptance and forgiveness (self/others), that it is a daily task. Well, it sure is. Pfew.
