Accepting (but annoyed)
I don't know where my font tags went. I miss Verdana small.
Anyway, I can't write much now as I'm at work. The title of the post will be explained later, but it refers to the strange place I find myself in with my father: I'm trying (and doing OK?) to accept him for who he is -- as emotionally stunted, strange and disappointing as he is, while at the same time, I'm frequently annoyed at his lack of interest in my life (or anything outside his head), his inability to connect beyond a superficial level and his many other foibles. Can you be accepting and annoyed at the same time, or are those at odds with each other?
More later...(3:05 p.m. now)
