Nothing horrendous, I suppose. I'm just caught between the need for extra support and the fact that I just don't have time to get it.
Last night my father was being totally unpleasant and unreasonable, and I sat and talked with him about how much I love him, and how I appreciate how he's always been there for me and for our family. He started talking more reflectively and put his hand on my arm as we talked. Not a big deal for many, but a huge one for my father.
It left me realizing how alone he feels, and how I realize that I'm going to have to make time to go over there more often. Which gives me that deer in the headlights feeling again.
