promenyI finally got a notebook yesterday and started writing in it; I ended up writing in it for an hour, all of it philosophy. I feel like I'm really on the right track to something great; I honestly feel that this is the beginning of a manuscript for a book.
Who knows, though.
I have had an e-mail correspondence with my sister since yesterday (I don't talk about her very much; haven't seen her in person for almost a year and a half), and it has been something heavy. I really like my sister a lot, but she can be a handful. We were talking about how things are with the family, particularly with my Dad, who she doesn't talk to. Hearing her side of it, I really can't blame her for what she is doing. My father basically lives in a dream world where everyone has to cater to him and where he is never wrong, and if you challenge him, he'll think that you are the one with the problem. From hearing what he did to and around her when I wasn't around and what he has said to her in the past, he really was toxic to her. He was (and sometimes still is) toxic to me, too, but I'm used to it. I'd probably distance myself from him if he wasn't a suicide risk.
Well, that is that. Trying to pick up the pieces.
