Rough Day...
Ok, So I thought today was going to be easier than it turned out to be.
I had lunch with my dad, and he wasn't very receptive to my wanting to go with lap-band. Lunch ended on a very awkward note which is not how I wish it had ended regardless.
Growing up, it wasn't an easy relationship with him. He was a young parent and had marital issues with my mother. They divorced, and things changed dramatically between us. We became very close through our hardships.
I realized how much our relationship has changed today. We're still close, but I didn't realize until today that I don't have to go to him with my thoughts completely organized and ready with a presentation for us to discuss.
I should have just had an open discussion with him; instead it came off as a sales pitch. I want him on board this decision so bad. He said he'd support me in whatever decision I make as long as I'm happy, but I could tell it was just a placating statement.
Sigh...
I love him and hope he comes around.
