Houston...Houston Do You Copy?

Communication is key. It is amazing how the few things you say can change everything and when they are lost in the mix of emotion and babble chaos becomes king. I have been trying to work through a bunch of malarky with my parents for the past two weeks and they finally heard me say "Hey all the stuff you're blaming on someone else is MY FAULT!" Where I felt that they had been being totally judgemental and had no reason to make an assessment of someone they had never met, they finally were like "Oh...wow person really is a great person! Why didn't you say all these things before?" When I told them I had been telling them everything I told them today and that I had tried to tell them several times, they were like, "When did you say that?!"

Ahh...communiction. Sometimes I feel like I need to take a plane up and write in the sky with the exhaust to get the point across. Something so simple should have been heard but that doesn't change the fact that for two weeks it wasn't heard.

Patience...patience that it will come across at some point. Patience for everything to work out.
