To all of the people I regretfully got involved in my simple need to vent:
librasoul22 - whether you come off as harsh or not is a matter of opinion, my opinion being that i would've gone about saying some things differently... BUT thanks for saying what you did
Cream - yay for tact!! Thank you for that, and your message came through loud and clear.
APhi - good to see I'm not the only one in this type of situation, contrary to what some people are trying to insinuate.
DeltAlum - Being a dad is more than I could ever imagine, so I commend you. I'm sure your children have turned out beautifully!
33girl - Good advice, I didn't think about having my old advisor call him, maybe I'll try that.
Shark_in_Skirt - You seem like a very compassionate person .. Good for you, there needs to be more of that going around. And good luck with whichever GLO you choose, they'll love you!!
Shine - For the last time, I'm sorry that I may have offended you. And again, I'm truly sorry about your dad... Believe it or not, I do have a heart, not just a mouth...
Phimugirlie01 - Thanks for the words of encouragement!
Pbpck - LOL Thanks for all the posts I guess
You're very good at standing your ground!
AchtungBaby80 - Same goes for you.
justamom - I can't tell you how many times I've tried to talk to my dad on neutral ground with understanding and no yelling, and I can only try for so long.. But I'm going to try again.
Colleenie - Thanks for being a sister....I'll PM you.
Dionysus - You morally apprehensible devil, you..
Thanks for saying that, it definately made me laugh - - I had almost forgotten about it!
To anyone arguing amongst themselves, this is a stupid reason to do it, on account of me or anything I said or did. This thread was started so I could vent, nothing more, nothing less. I am truly sorry that it digressed to name calling, arguing, and just rudeness all around (I'm not saying everybody).
In closing the last post I will be posting on this thread, I'd like to say... No matter what your relationship with your parents, I strongly suggest going out and renting John Q. with Denzel Washington (oh baby!!). That movie moved me in a way that I wasn't ready for and I bawled almost the whole time. For those of you that have seen it, you'll understand what I'm talking about when I say that I know my dad would do for me what John Q. was willing to do for Michael. I always knew that in my heart and never once doubt it, but it made me cry even harder to see all this petty stuff screwing up our relationship. You never know when someone could be gone - - a parent, a friend, a fellow greek, your favorite pet ... nobody knows, for today may not always be followed by tomorrow. Another movie (which I watched last night) that moved me to tears for the duration was I Am Sam. I almost had to turn it off. It's a wonderful film and I reccommend it to anyone and everyone. Again, it's about a father and his child...That's all I'm going to say though, because I'm starting to tear up at the thought of the movie.
Hope to see you guys on different threads, less any animosity.
Peace.
