Addicted to self improvement

This was a special day for me, i suddenly realized i had to get involved more. Dad has been ill for quite a while, and it was so tricky for him to get in touch with his doctor. Found where the doc works, emailed him, and the rest is gonna be good, i'm teaching dad how to use his computer, and as i type he's being blessed with watching a gospel group's concert on YouTube, he's never before been able to operate his piece of tech. Spending time with him is not anymore for me about reading to him, it's about the quality of our lives, i will be coming with him to church and all his doctor visits, to help him put into action what he needs to do. And doing more at home including doing the dishes, bringing out the garbage, etc. His brother my uncle is even softening with his latest text message to my dad, he's known for being a meanie. All i've learned from books and stuff is to be used well in assessing situations like that, how to better communicate, and if i can do that, why not see if i can be an ok mensch here. I love to express myself, SW is a place where you can do that till the cows come home, but when you abuse it, and have zero self respect like i had, it's ruined.
