I probably could take Hope for walks...but her Dad kinda acts like he is jealous of the time she and I already spend together.
For about a week, Hope really was acting out toward her dad...being rude and mean and nearly hateful toward him...
I couldn't figure out why she was behaving this way and started asking her questions...Do you love your daddy? "Yes!" Did dad do something to make you mad? "No." Why do you act so mean to your dad? "I don't know!" Are you mad at dad because he doesn't like me very much? "YES!"
I tried to reason with her about how not everybody likes everybody and that I felt this was not a reason to be hateful toward her dad.
She has been better toward him the past couple of days.
But now I am left with this bit of info that I feel I dare not share with Hope's parents...they act like they think the kid can just change how she feels because they tell her to...and I don't want any more "bad air" in the house than there already is.
So much will change...for everybody...when I move out to my own place!
I just wish that Hope had the courage to tell her parents how she really feels...but she says she afraid to make them mad.
They really are not mean or violent parents! Hope is just a very special kid that doesn't want to disappoint anyone or hurt any feelings.
Sadly, I think I did "too good" of a job raising her for her first 3 years.
I feel like she is better than her parents and deserves more than they give her...especially in the attention and unconditional love departments!
☆☆☆☆Hey! ...Sorry about rambling on about this subject! ...I guess I was in need of a little venting! ....maybe I won't boil over or explode now!
