For those of you who know, my dad's bio-dad passed away earlier this month, the memorial service was this last weekend.
And while I know and appreciate you all telling me to take my time to grieve, the service gave me a lot of...shall we say mixed feelings about my grandfather. I've got a lot of emotions I'm till sorting through and most of it's been compartmentalized, but a lot of it hasn't and it's preventing me from having healthy conversations.
I will say this: I am mad. I feel hurt and cheated and angry, but the wife's family never did anything to me, they deserve to keep their happy memories; and for some reason I hate that that makes me a better person. I dunno. I'm all kinds of blah and blech right now and I feel like I need to go spelunking or something to clear my head (too bad I don't normally do that otherwise I absolutely would! lol)
In light of it though, I want you guys to know how much I love and appreciate you. I know I say it a lot, and sometimes it gets missed with all the hullabaloo going on, but I mean it. You guys are and always have been my motivation to keep at it for as long as I have and I appreciate each and every one of you from the most veteran readers to the newbies just passing through. Each and every one of you mean so much to me and I don't ever want you to forget that.
Having specific mixes of emotions is fine. I think people expect feelings to be one way too much or only mixed in specific situations. I hope things can get better from here and am glad that some other readers here are supporting you.
Just some Updates
