I am bad, bad, bad!

But I forgive myself. I forgive myself for saying something that shocked my dad, because he didn't "know". I forgive myself for trying to convince him, and then saying the wrong things. Challenging his reality led to him defending himself with a loud, finger pointing encounter. And that look on his face...that confused, hurt, sad look broke my heart and made me cry. I should have known better. I do know better. But I admit, for a few moments, I forgot. I know that sounds stupid, but I did. I forgive myself, but I won't forget the lesson. My bad.

Do not beat yourself up! You are amazing with your dad. I am already planning to rent a room from you when I need assistance since I hit the big number! There is no one I would trust more than you!
