I had been a bit anxious about telling my dad that I left work.  I am 31 yo so it seems a little silly, but parents seem to have that hold over a person until they are prepared to challenge it and stamp it out.  I did that last Sunday, and I ended up with an anxious/tension headache that lasted into the next day.  It was from the stress of the situation, but now I’m free.  It was something that I had been dreading for the last 3 months so I’m glad it’s done.  Nothing like fear/avoidance behaviour J.  I feel like a weight has been lifted now and I’m kind of still waiting for criticisms from him when I see him, but it’s definitely a lot better.  Maybe he has realised that I’m old enough to take care of myself.  Maybe he worked that out a long time ago and I’ve been operating under a false idea.  Anyway, glad it’s been challenged, done and dusted.  Now I can focus on what I want to do, do it like an adult, revalidate myself, prove myself, take on the world and all that jazz…

I hope everyone is well.  I don't get to spend nearly as much time here as I'd like.  Take care folks :)

Hey Shazza - that's great!! I mean great that you faced it, did it and got through it! If there is fallout, well, you will deal with that too! 
 
You've really come a long way in standing up for yourself - with the Anxiety, the Panic, the job and now your dad. You have a lot to be proud of! 
 
And I truly believe that when we immerse ourselves in the creative process, and follow our hearts, we will be successful. Successful in all the ways that are most important to us! 
 
Hugs and love!!

Hi there. Well done Shazza  
 
I'm 53 and I still rehearse things I want to say to my Dad before I go visit. Still can't get past needing his approval. Daft!! 
 
Good luck and enjoy!!!
