Honor thy Father and Mother
Dad called. Told me daughters are not to bring up the flaws of their fathers in their father's golden years. Amazing that he should say that. I didn't even know what he was relating his comment to. A month back, while dad was saying once again his biggest mistake was allowing my mother to have the divorce, I made a comment I never before made. Which was, "That wasn't the biggest mistake, perhaps, the behavior that led up to the divorce was."
He said he knew that, that was the mistake and I didn't need to bring it up. My response was I never heard him ever say that. His reply was, it was what he said over and over to himself.
It's this quandary, of relating my childhood, vs keeping my parent's feelings aloft, that has added to me not relating my story for the last 5 years on the site.
Honoring one's father and mother are commandments. These are like pillars in the planes of light. Goals to run towards, the very running pulling one out of the muck of error thought and delusion.
