Morning all anyone out there who has fallen out with a Son or Daughter? I fell out with my Daughter about 3 years ago after and over something fucking stupid my Dads anniversary of his passing. Let me explain at the time I was drinking heavy and had a skinfull to dumb out the anniversary of my dad and I was pissed off that my Daughter hadn’t messaged me and explained this to my wife and I was really stroppy and pissed off and yeah we were rowing over it then my wife went out of the room and oh by surprise my phone rang I declined the call and it rang again and again I declined it and again this time I shouted up to my wife to message my Daughter to stop ringing me but it rang again and this time I was so annoyed I answered it and said I didn’t want to talk to her ever again and that she was dead to me and I hung up and we’ve not spoken as such since no birthday no Christmas cards or presents my wife is still in contact and gets cards etc My mother in law passed away in Feb and I was gearing myself up that she will attend of course she will. I attempted to say hello and sorry for her loss of her grandma and I was civil. The issue I have is that the wife’s dad is now really frail and I’m dreading the time he passes and at his funeral that could be the last time I see her. The purpose of this really long post (apologies) is to see if anyone has had the same issue and how did you resolve this? as I’m really thinking life is too short I know things will probably never be the same but don’t know how to approach this Appreciate your time reading this.

This day has been trying to say the least. A disagreement accured between myself and my wife, ove the same thing, my kids and my stepkids (her kids). It's the same topic for just about every disagreement or argument. Here is a breakdown of what happened. One of my step daughters will be moving back home after she finishes her studies at her university. She and her girlfriend are moving in. That is fine. The will be paying $1500 a month for the bedroom, all utilities, food, use of the home and yard ( we have a pool). There bedroom is located upstairs, where my office/music room is also located. My wife thinks for the $1500 they should also have my office/music room. My opinion (and it's not changing it) is "nope". I agreed to clean out a few drawers and cabinets under the wet bar, should they need some extra space for storage. This lead to the beginning of the argument. Then I was told that if it were my kids, I'd be fine to give up the space. I explained to my wife that her statement isn't correct, I would give up my office to my kids. This brought up continued disagreement on the topic., I'm just so tired of being told that I prioritize my kids over hers. This isn't the case. I told my wife that I'm not giving up my space to anyone. But of course, she tells me that I would. Which pissed me off. I calmly told her that her statement was incorrect. When I suggested she give up her office to the girls, I was then told that I was changing the topic. Sorry to vent, I'm just frustrated and dealing with the fallout of a oissed off wife. I hope this made sense. I'm just annoyed that this topic brings about so much aggravation and frustration. I'm not sure how to handle the same topic without the disagreements. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We can train hard Eat clean Work hard But if we are not working on our mental health,we are leaving results on the table. How can we become the best versions of ourselves if we aren’t trying to strengthen ourselves mentally. Just a thought…..what do you think? My biggest battles are the ones I have with myself!

I love time with my boys….sometimes it’s about spending a short amount of time with them, getting involved with the things they love. That makes me happy and I realise that I wish I had that with my dad growing up. Don’t become the version of you that was ignored and overlooked as a child. Be the father you wish you’d had!
