Rant

Missing image

Why is it that people cannot see

that you are hurt by what they

say or is it that they do not care?

I had a conversation last night with

my daughter and she accused me of

taking my lovers side over hers.

Now I do not want to take any-ones

side over anyone elses, why do they

have to drag me into the middle.

She has a problem with him she needs

to talk it out with him rather then accusing

and fighting, nothing is solved that way.

She needs to grow up and realize that the

reactions gain nothing but more arguing

and hard feelings.

You can agree to disagree with another

person but to argue is senseless and 

stupid.

Can you not see that both are hurt

by this senseless stupidity not just

one, fighting is for the stupid.

And since it takes two to fight it

is boths fault for doing so, now stop

and look at what you both are doing.

I sit here in the middle of the argument

and wonder what it is I can do to try

and bring them back together again.

Friends, and "adoptive" father he use to

be to her now since I have become his

she fights with him constantly.

I hate this, I want it to stop, please don't

fight be friends, let me have some peace

of mind where you use to have me be.

Love is a fine line that sometimes runs

into hate which is what I am trying to

prevent.

I ask WHY ME? and I hear the wind whistle

in my ears, WHY MUST YOU BE SO STUPID?

all these questions are directed at her.

I am not so good with words anymore but

this is the one I say for them to read, STOP

now this is not the way to mend it all. 

 

 

Author notes

My daughter and my lover had words last night and she put me in the middle by saying I agreed with him all the time and that she wouldn't be talking to me any more for I would force her to talk to him. None of which is true. So now she says I have to pop up on her if I want to talk. I will not do this as it is NOT my fault.

    I don't know how old your daughter is, but from this it sounds like she's old enough to know better, but young enough to take the easy way out, since it can be hard to communicate things - fighting, in many ways, is a lot easier than voicing personal thoughts or feelings.

    This is a powerful piece of writing, and congrats on the well deserved silver trophy.

    Wow!

    Sounds like my family. Your daughter has definite issues. If I read you right, both you and her boyfriend are coming from a 'male' point of view, which is something she doesn't want to take the time to understand, let alone realize that there are other points of views in this world besides her. Let her be. She, for whatever her age, is still very immature and apparently needs to learn things the hard way. So be it. I'm glad to see you could get it off your chest by writing it out. My mother had words with my brother last night, and flew into profanity - which she hasn't done in a while. But my brother, away at college, is thick headed. He needs to learn the hard way too. Best of luck with your daughter, and good luck in the contest! Thank you for sharing!
