After countless fights, shouting matches, not speaking, I came to believe it was just not worth it. I mean he’s my dad and we aren’t going to have him here forever. For me it’s remembering to respect his age and that he’s my father before anything else. Funny too because he was a Reagan Democrat. :)
My dad was a Union Democrat. The only Republican he voted for was Nixon in 1972 ONLY because of his opponent. During the Clinton impeachment he practically Disowned me in a big fight that he started. That just about ruined our relationship. It was Never the same after that.
