| Blog Subject: | So far, so good, but… |
It’s been what, four weeks since my last entry? Practically a month… But everything has been going fine since then. I suppose I have my boyfriendish man to thank for that. I won’t go on too much about him since I already have a lot in my last entry. But all is still going very well. I’ve brought him around my family, most of which who remember him from a few years back from when we were actually dating. We say we are dating just for the sake of simplicity, but my relatives who have always liked him have been delighted by us being “back together”, in a sense. Anyway that’s all I will say about that. My family reunion will be this coming weekend from typing this entry. It’ll be our first since my dad had passed away. I can see that being brought up a lot and possibly getting to me… Not too unlike how it did with relatives bringing him up during Thanksgiving and Christmas. I fear getting flashbacks or just it bothering me enough to where I’m losing my cool. But I’ve made it this far without any flashbacks. We’ll just see how I do this weekend. If it does end up getting to me, you can bet I’ll b venting about it here… |

Hopefully they won't push you too far. Fingers crossed. Hoping you get through it. It would not do for me to be boyfriendish and be there, knowing even the limited info you've told him. Oh I could keep my mouth shut... barely... but I would be seething any time your dad was praised. I've been in situations where I know someone was clearly so undeserving of praise, and to have to hear it- even though I'm not in the least connected with the person- just gets under my skin. |

My family’s been keeping quiet about my dad for the most part. But then, these are relatives who live nearby and who I get to see fairly often. We’ll see how relatives who travel to the family reunion, some of whom traveled just to attend his funeral, will do with it… If I get enough of it, I may just blurt out a half-truth and say he was abusive to me. |

Well, I wouldn't blame you if your buttons get pushed enough. If nothing else, it'd make it a reunion they won't forget... |
