I had a vwry productive evening tonight, both in my relationship with my dad, and financially, lol.
People may remember how I mentioned on here how my dad took a significant amount of jewelry from me, and hadnt given it back. Tonight, he voluntarially did. I'm hoping I can sell it tomorrow. Additonally, I had a very nice dinner with Cheryl and him. No dissing my mom, and no fights.
My dad did make one point. He has two friends whose young grandchildren tragically have cancer. As people who have read my posts know, my paternal grandfather was a heavy smoker, and died of bladder cancer in 1982. My dad made the point that my grandfather and my mom were both heavy smokers who brought the cancer on themselvex, whereas his friends grandchildren were inncocent victims. He said he would feel this way even if my mom and him had stayed married, and he was the grieving husband. I see his point, but it doesnt mean I miss my mom or my grandfather any less.
Additionally, my dad has many of my mom's posessions that we are hoping we can sell, all over his apartment. That didnt seem right. I told him to just sell the stuff already, and he said he would.
If hes understanding. If he stops disssing my mom.. all would be okay. I just hope this continues.
I take a deep breath. I feel better than I have in a while. I hope this continues.
