LuckyMcSwervy 0 #27 April 8, 2009 Quote Quote Then he threatened to cut me off again... Aren't you in your late 30's and have a successful job, and not reliant upon your parents??? Sorry, but I find it very odd, that the only thing that kept you home this weekend (not your family, or your ill father) is the prospect of losing money... I'd die to have the ability to live near my family to be able to visit them for holidays. I'm lucky if I see my family once a year.... g I never said "cut me off" was about money. In my family silence can be used as a weapon, so to speak. It can be either "do what I approve of" or i don't talk to you until I get my way. Sad but sometimes true. Depending on the situation.... Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry for the wrong assumption... But... imo, I have to agree with your Dad. The sky will be there, you or your family will not. I don't even want to attempt to know the relationship with you and your family (cuz obviously I've already made a bad call), but being there for/with your family is priceless. Please don't take that as I feel you haven't been there, b/c I've seen the post's where you've made your Dad a priority - I'm merely expressing how important family means - and obviously to your Dad if he's expressed himself in that manner. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your weekend! g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?" Raddest Ho this side of Jersey #1 - MISS YOU OMG, is she okay?

It's probably a dad thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #30 April 8, 2009 QuoteBut... imo, I have to agree with your Dad. The sky will be there, you or your family will not. I agree with Gia. I remember how the first year in skydiving can be an exciting experience and you don't want to miss out on all the fun, but you really don't get a second chance for important family events. So, you might have to miss one of those boogies...over the years, you'll find that they kind of blend into each other and missing out won't be such a big deal. There's always another one.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your weekend! g No worries whatsoever. The thing is.... I was trying to avoid conflict this weekend with a house full of people (AKA "long lost family") that are heirs to my Uncle.... they only cared about him once he was gone and there was an estate to be disbursed... These people are vultures. I'm called the "bitch daughter" because I wouldn't let them call my Dad when he was in the hospital... Anyway, my Dad's right.... he NEEDS me and my brother this weekend... I can still go to my DZ if the weather gets better... but man, what I wouldn't give for a trip to actually work out lately!!! Always be kinder than you feel.

It's probably a dad thing. Hey - he started this fascination with jumping outta planes stuff when I was a kid. He had to let us grow up around the airport and "fly" the plane with him. It's all his fault!! I thought "Daddy" was creepy to you?? Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
