Residual Impact

The Dad and the Daughter are not at peace. I have noticed this happens in the wake of wife-and-mother visits. A period of readjustment, a realignment of loyalties follows! Nothing unusual about this, it is just good to remember these things. The question would be: is there sufficient reason to have these interuptions at all? The answer is: of course there is! These are speed bumps in the road, that's all! Maybe there will be a rapproachment soon, but the day after's disruption and its ugliness are not themselves good for much. Commited relationships face huge challenges. They must be worth it, they just take work, patience and trust, no matter what height the hurdle.
