My relationship with some members of my family, ie--Mother and older sister--Seemed like, no matter what I did, nothing was ever right or good enough. Nor was it ever going to be right or good enough. It took a lot of years to finally realize that. And dealing with it, letting it go, was my salvation.
No more anger, no more stress. I'm a better parent these days to my own kids.

Optimistically speaking, my most minimally successful attempt at anything was when I was honest with a young woman and tried to both keep her as a friend and let her know my feelings for her. I told her how I felt and then she told me that we were never friends. I was hurt to say the least, but I continued to be a friend, or not be a friend, in the same capacity I had been for the two years previous to the confrontation. I suppose I am able to deal with it so non-chalantly because I am able to reserve my feelings to myself and not assert them on the young woman. I do anything that would be expected in a now long-distance "friend"ship; E-mails to say hello, Happy birthday, merry christmas, and what not. I limit them to about seven per year. My feelings for her are as strong as ever, and whenever she wants, I'd be happy to elaborate. I never admit failure, but I am less than happy with some outcomes.
