I have two better halfs

[BnLM5]

I just had a nice chat with my twin sister today and she made me realize
how much I was always like my dad and that I have finally jumped to the other side of the fence from my fathers ideology.
I laughed and said "No way, I was like Dad". She proved me wrong big time. I realized how far I have grown as a person in the last 5-10 years.
I also realized finally that I don't like my father. I am OK with it.
My wife has said that she didn't like him for years but she was patient and respectful of letting me see it for myself. My sister however didn't hold any punches back. I was shocked at the stories she told me, that I did not know about my parents and about myself. Final conclusion: my parents are very judgemental people and they can't or won't ever change and I need to have a deaf ear on any of their critisism. I feel so much better now, because I have the support and love I need from my family of choice.
Just like my NDN family, we all need support.


My wife and my twin sister are my two better halfs.
I am so blessed to have them both in my humble life.

I am sorry Ringo I did not mean to take your thread off topic.

I think it is wonderful that you have two better halves. Support is a good thing in ones life. Some people never have it. Although I know that I am truly blessed by so much in my life I would love to have a better half and a best friend like you do with your wife. That is the sweetest thing I think one can posses. My other half has other ideas of the things that are important in life. :(
