The Disappointment

You know when you're parents say, "I'm not mad at you; I'm just disappointed."  It's the worst.  I've trained myself one way, and now I have to change.  And every day, I fail at that change, at least a little.  Like a walking, talking, personification of the word "disappointment."  It's not a good way to live.

The perception of parental disappointment is a huge bummer (and burden). The truth is that nothing could be further from the truth. (My attempt at deep philosophical thinking and wording.) In all actuality, I see you as testing your wings, taking your time, finding your way. And there's not a thing wrong with that!! Love you! Mom
