Lessons Learned

Mother's Day was interesting this year. My mom called me - and we talked for four hours. It was kind of amazing. I learned a lot. We talked a lot about my parent's marriage actually. I guess being Daddy's girl for so long that I have only seen his point of view. It was really gut wrenching to hear her side. I feel quite guilty for how I have viewed her for so long.
I actually feel bitter - as a child of divorce - I feel that their issues were really the small stuff - that they could never resolve..... and then paid the price for there stubborness in the divorce.
It also reminds me of how poor my communication skills are - and its no wonder having seen the way my parents treated each other for so long.....
GGGRRRRR...waaaahhhhhh!
I guess all I can do is learn from their mistakes.
I am grateful for both my parents - they both have their good sides.....

I could however, write a book on funny fights - its like the book The Twits- always pushing each others buttons....
