so, me and my stepdad fought again last night, and it got pretty rough this time. my hand still hurts from being tackled into the bathroom door...

anyway, i came up with an analogy of me and dad.

he and i are alot alike and yet very different. we are both aquarius, and i'm a horse and he's a rat. we both have srong ideals and beliefs and stubbornly defend them, but those ideals conflict. we are like opposing dynamic forces. like elctrons and protons.

dad is like a proton. he clings to his neutron world, and stays fixed, unchanging. i am like an electron. i fly around, always moving, never stopping. i can see that we are both part of a greater whole, we are each only a small part of a much larger atom. but he can't see that. because to him, he is in charge. he is the center of his whole world and all other ions revolve around him. i can understand his point of view, but still i cannot say that i can't blame him. because the oppurtunity to try to make himself better, to find a REAL relief from all his stress instead of taking it out on us, has made itself present over and over and over again, and still does! all these chaces to take counciling or therapy or go with me to church... but he is too damn stubborn. he just refuse sto take anyone else's advice. if he could just do this one thing, i believe that we could harmonize. and working together we could make our atom a much prettier one. we'd be like yin and yang.
