Why does the drama always happen in the 2 minutes before we have to get into the car to go to school?
Aargh… I hate starting off my day and hers (in this case) with unresolved tears, fears, anger, emotion, drama - as she gathers up her backpack & gets out of the car to head into the school & then I drive off to work.
There’s always the nagging feeling that, if something bad happens to her or I before we can see each other again, the last memory will be a bad one.
And, even if nothing bad does happen before we can see each other again, the last memory all day, until then, is a lingering bad feeling about unresolved issues.
I wish I was better at all of this & knew how to smooth things over, fix them right away, with just the right word, action or expression….
