Could have been worse

So Friday night we had a talk with my bubby about Star. Like I said could of been worse but it also could of been better. He wasn't happy and said he felt blindsided by Star telling him she didn't want to go away for school. He was also very upset that she told Joel and about it first. He never raises his voice but he came very close. I didn't tell him I the reason I knew was because she took some of my pills.

He asked us to go inside so they could talk privately. They we're out there for about an hour. The talk ending with them hugging and getting everything worked out. She going to be staying here and going to a local college.

After she went to bed the 3 of us finished our cigars and whiskey by the fire. I apologized to him. He said it was all good, he understands why she was nervous about telling him. He felt he put away to much pressure on her to follow in his footsteps. He even thanked me for being there for her.

So like I said it could of been worse.

This has worked out very well indeed.
The stress placed on Star has been removed because you went into bat for her.
It is never easy to raise a subject like this with a parent about their child.
You are a good man and you really should be proud of what you have done.

@Gusman thank you for that. I love Star. I've watched her grow up. She's like my 2nd daughter to me.

Her father is a very good kind person. I think he thought this was the best plan for her. He's so proud of her and I think he just wants what is best for her. I'm glad this worked out. I would of hated for to move out there and struggle and give up on her dreams. This way she have the support she needs and still be going to a very good school. Just not the one he went to.

He came over tonight with even better whiskey and cigars. We talked most of the night. I'm glad he did because I was worried he might be upset.
