To give my dad credit, he is trying. He's started calling me (this is new), and last week he excitedly shared an article he read where 60% of Australian women in their late twenties aren't married.

He's trying to understand. This is nice. This is an improvement. This is hilarious, but I appreciate the effort.

Being angry is fine, good, healthy. Staying angry hurts only the angry person.

And I agree, Kat has dealt very politely with her family.

Kat, you aren't in your late twenties. It's OK if you don't point this out to him, but I just thought I'd point it out to YOU. You are in your mid-twenties.

I'd also like to add that denying anger is also very unhealthy and that it can take quite a while to honestly let go of anger.

Well, Kat, I'm glad it wasn't my parents but my grandma was getting worried about me not having a boyfriend when I was 16.

And my grandpa had reservations that my husband was a red commie. He still brought up an old BF of mine that he liked well into my marriage.

On a related note, I'm in my early twenties.

I'm not sure where you're going with this, twinky. *grin*

My grandmother has wailed several times, but I don't have a problem shutting that down. My grandfather, bless his heart, has supported me in every decision in my life and always comes up with reasons as to why what I'm doing is good.

That would be my other grandma (like your dear grandfather, Kat).
