I finally told Dan yesterday what Patty said - he was surprised. He called her yesterday to find out what was going on. He told her if she has a problem with someting he said or did she has to talk to him - he doesn't know there is a problem if she doesn't say anything!!!! As the kids use to say "Well DUH?". She told him what was bothering her & then he explained his side fo how he felt & why things were done the way they were...I think part of her problem is just growing up & learning to be on your own. That life is not fair - I thought she figured that out when Billy died - & that you have to make your own life what you want it to be. One of the things she said was that she never thought Dan was around for her & that she was always closer to me than her dad. Dan explained that we made the decision when we had the kids that I was going to stay home & not work & that Dan was going to be the one to work & provide for us. I always considered it fortunate that we could afford to do that - that Dan made enough $ that I could stay home. But there were also times that Dan had to put into a lot of work hours. But that he was always there when the chips were down or when ever the kids really neede him there. I don't understand where Patty was coming from but I also figure that was her perception of things as a child. Hopefully this helped her understand a few things & that her dad was there for her when she needed him & that he will always love her & be there if she needs him in the furture. Will they ever be best friends - probably not but I hope Patty feels better about things. It's amazing how things work out when you let the person know what is bothering you about them. Holding everything in does not work!! Life goes on....
What a week & it is only Wednesday... Thake Care...
Hugs, Ann

I am so proud of both you for telling Dan and Dan for going right to Patty to talk! That is the absolute best way to handle things. You are absolutely right...how could Dan address this IF he didn't know there was an issue. Patty has to feel better and now this has given her permission to talk to Dan about it anytime she feels she needs to ...good job!! Love to you Karen

Ann,
Isn't it amazing how we can solve things by going to the person directly and using our words. It just always drives me nuts when people harbor anger and they don't share their feeeling with the appropriate person. I am glad that your husband and Patty were able to have a connection and who knows what time will bring, as long as the door remains open miracles can happen. Hugs, Inga

what a mouth full & many times that's what i do is hold it in or i've been guilty of telling the wrong person, of whom i'm more comfortable with. i'm praying that God give me wisdom to speak out when i need to. as kids get older they start to understand more. may God continue to give your family many special blessings lol, Bess

I'm glad it's working itself out. We all know now that life is too short to let things go unaddressed. You're right, they may not be the best of friends but I'm sure they have a new found respect for each other. Love Robin
