It always helps to share one's feelings. As tough as that can be, the alternative, silence and growing misunderstanding, is unhealthy and just sows distrust and dislike, even among family members, perhaps even more so.
Tonight, we shared in a phone conversation as I walked the snow streets around Deacons Walk with Dancer on leash. I've said something that I've not accounted for and words, certainly written words, on the eternal digital highway, remain and cause pain. I apologized and searched for those words, was unsuccessful but have learned a lesson. Life is precious and sensitive and you may think you're in the right but you can't be objective about your actions and you must be accountable. How to step away and view your response dispassionately, third-personly is a skill that is currently beyond me but I will work to achieve it in some measure.
