Food for thought

I received a comment on my last post from Anonymous.

Just wanted to say that, that comment helped me more than you will know. I have since looked at my self and my behaviour and expectations and made steps to talk about them with Daddi and thanks to that person and OUR communication skills, Daddi and I talked about all of the issues highlighted in the last post.

They have just gone out to get dinner and I wanted to let you know we are back on track, we have been talking for hours and understanding each other. I am really happy that I was able to accept the criticism that I got and use it to change something. Now we are going to move forward and have promised to always talk even if we do not like what the other says we should talk anyway. I would also like to take this opportunity to say that I have also learnt first hand another very valuable lesson someone else once said about this thing called "blogging".

We put our feelings here without the obligation to be unbiased and fair, at least for me blogging helps me to let go of constantly looking at both sides of the coin and trying to see things from the view point of others for fear of hurting them or their feelings. When I blog I only discuss the feelings I have and without the need to rationalise them as often and frustratingly detailed as I do in real life.

So even though my words may seem selfish and one sided it is because I am using this medium to validate those initial thoughts and feelings without putting them through the second, third, fourth and fifth "filter" system I have going on in my head that moderates my rationale or logic.

So on that note I would like to thank the poster for their comment and say.....The fact I used your criticism to move forward and turn something around and make it better regardless, means I AM MATURE ENOUGH to be a parent.
