I'm going to post something that I probably should have.. a while ago, before this thread sprialed out of control. I have no idea if this will help.. or pour more gas on it.
About.. a week ago. I sent my dad an email THANKING HIM for all he does for me. The apartment, etc. You know what he told me.., That hes my father, and he wants to help, and that I dont have to thank him.
Another thing: I expressed my concern about something bad happening between us because we have a fight. An estrangement, he takes my money, boots me from the apartment. His reply to me was that any fight we have is seperate from that.
Also,. about Barney: My dad himself says that he thinks Barney is being an ass, and that my dad wants to see where Barney is in six months from now, considering his history. My dad also said that there is no way Barney can work with/for us. Thats a tacit agreement we have.
I think what I really need to do is two things. As long as I';m airing, I've already done one of them.
Instead of airing my shit here, to get threads like this. Go to the source. I just emailed Barney and told him his attitude toward me is pissing me off, and that he needs to find time to spend, and not consider only everyone else. I await his reply.
As for my dad: I'm going to have a discussion with him openly expressing that we have missed so many years, and that I want us to spend more time together. Hes semi retired now, so he has the time. This was one issue my mom was always concerned about, and why she agreed with my decision not to see his family, fearing they would be more important, and I'm less important.
So, there, going to the source, and dealing with the situation, instead of bitching. My business is just about ready to launch, hopefully, and I believe I have a track for a job, so.. I'm dealing with everything.
In spite of this, I;'m sure I will be ripped some more anyway. I just wanted to put it out there.
I disagree with some minor points in all of that, but, overall?
GOOD FUCKING JOB. I'M PROUD OF YOU.
