Now I'm even MORE jealous!

Great news, Chillers!

I'm already going off my rocker... pretending to work on my lappie. My father can ONLY talk about himself, the bastard... My mum can hardly get a word in edgeways...

:upset::upset::upset:

He has already offered me a whisky... just after 11.00 a.m. :H

Hey Tipps,

"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours." ~Wayne Dyer

Alcoholism is a selfish disease as we all know, your father prob likes the sound of his own voice...don't let it get to you, maybe it's his way of squeezing 2.5 years worth of conversation into one visit.

The thing is..you are there and you made the effort and you are reaching out, there is no more you can do. xx

Got a bit carried away there,

Tippers, hun. there absolutely nothing on this earth or in the universe that is going to change your father, I know that with my mother. But and it's a big but you have changed in yourself immeasurably over the last 2 years. Try and make your peace now and if you can't just let it go.:l

I hear the both of you...

The good thing is: I'm not getting angry, upset or anything. Just irritated. But I'm disappearing into the kitchen to talk to mum while she's making lunch. Shame: she went to so much trouble :l

Tips we all know only too well how AL poisons our thought, deeds and actions. We are different people when we are sober, just look at yourself for the perfect example. You are not the same man I met when I came here. I am not making excuses but chances are your dad is really and truly not the man you remember or see before you. How could he be when is at the stage where he is drinking whiskey at 11am. You only have one father, try and forgive him and think of the man he could have been.

Evening all-

Tips - sorry to hear that you are going nuts cuz of your dad. My dad is a recovering alcoholic - he did some pretty messed up things that impacted on both me and my sister - namely losing our family home, then all the family money (including my college fund) and gave me and my sister such a hard time. I have a great relationship with my dad now but that took years to build up and a large of that boiled down to me acting like the parent and him acting like the child. The biggest step for me was to accept who he was and that I wasn't going to change him and if I wanted a relationship with him, I just had to get on with it. It sounds like you have done a similar thing.

I hope you enjoyed your lunch and got some good quality time with your mom.

Evening everyone!!!

Got a call from the doctor - NO THYROID NODULE! Yay! Waiting for the bloodwork because the ultrasound detected some inflammation and will find out about that next week. Relieved it is not another lump. Fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that it is nothing a pill or two can't fix! Phew!
