Name something that Took you a Long Time to "Iron Out"?

Question

FunkyMonkee · Accepted Answer

Getting my best friend to come back to me after her hubby ordered her not to ever have anything to do with me. I got tired of this shit after nearly two years and wrote her an e-mail and she was thrilled to hear from me and thought she'd lost ME for good!! We've been best friends again, ever since! She divorced hubby a year or two later for being an abusive asshole and then tossed his ass in jail after finding out that he'd been molesting the kids when it was his turn to get them.
Getting dad to stop being an asshole towards me. Most of my life, he treated me like shit! By the time I was in my early 30's, a new album came out with a song on it called, "Hold Me, My Daddy". I bought the album and copied down the lyrics in my own hand and left them on the kitchen table that night as if I'd written them but forgot to take them upstairs with me. Next morning, he read them and then posted them on the fridge and, from that day onwards, the only time he yelled at me was if I made a bad play while we were playing cards.
Getting to live here. 4 years ago, my greedy ex-sisters had me kicked out of MY house against mom's wishes and last Will and her sister took me in, here. She died a year later but never left a Will!! For the past 2.5 years, I've been trying to get this house in my name, as she intended, but, because she mortgaged the place (and the car) to give MORE money to her scammer buddies 3 weeks before she died, on one hand, the bank wants to take it away from me because they won't LET ME pay the mortgage and now, in 2 weeks, I have to go to court because my greedy cousins suddenly want the place!! If I lose, I have nowhere else to go!

That some people are just born bad. Just straight up personality disorders. No matter how good you are to them or nice or giving, it doesn't matter. They will only have their best interests in mind and sometimes what's in their interests is being awful to others.

ScisorsAndRaisins · Answer

Two things, Paris.

1. Hoarding

2. Procrastination.

Hoarding: I've given computers, tablets and cell phones to girls on this site. I wasn't trying to impress them, I just wanted to get rid of the shit. I can't part with things, unless I know they're going to a good home, and will make someone happy.

Procrastination: I watched the movie "What About Bob." I learned how effective "baby steps are."

Hummm... Way back when I was 24, I took a week long vacation with my girlfriend. She wasn't enjoying it and the dating relationship went south during the trip, and when we got back we were no longer a couple. It took me a long time to iron out "what went wrong" because it was going well before that. LOL For the next 5 years after that I was definitely reluctant to go on any vacation with anyone! I'm OK with it now. That was a long time ago. lol
