Note.

I guess father has his own problems and worries.

He always seems to have a headache thinking about them.

So he’s unable to listen to conversations that trigger him.

Also.

He is unable to empathize with mother half the time.

Because he is caught up in this thoughts.

He is good to mother the other half of the time.

And does a lot of things for home.

Also.

He has drastically changed.

But it’s not enough.

He still needs to work on himself.

I’ve made peace with the fact that he’s old and won’t change completely.

He’s from the boomer generation.

So I cannot expect the emotional maturity that our generation has.

I protect my peace by maintaining my distance.

And keeping my conversations minimal and intentional.
