So if we all rebel against our parents (and sometimes it’s not so much rebelling as just not really being bothered to take them as seriously as they’d like to be taken…) and your parents are all loosey-goosey and outdoorsy, but they TELL you to be all orderly and indoorsy, WHICH thing do you rebel against? And what if it’s the other way around and they work office jobs and tell you to become a flower child and join a commune?
Well, you rebel against what they SAY, of course… unless of course, they say it with a wink and a nod, then they’re HOPING you’ll rebel against that, in which case… Ah, forget it. Do what you do. They’re gonna say you’re rebelling anyhow. Turns out, it’s not up to you, but to whoever’s talking about you.
Question everything!
No matter what, everyone has to have their own period of getting dipped all by themselves. Life got a lot better when my dad looked at me and said you remind me so much of myself at your age. (I was coming back from college for a holiday, and I was firm about I came to visit my parents. My home was a dorm room a long ways away. Oh and I also did all my laundry before I left, I came to the doorstep with clean clothes. The washer and such had been prepared for my onslaught and it didn’t happen. Heh-yes I did that on purpose)
Well That was a first!!! He’s never officially acknowledged the passing of his father.
@[Mark]:
Well, we still don’t if they ever recovered the body…
…perhaps a bit of Hubris’ “Inner Child” is holding-out hope that the avalanche has “flash-frozen” him, & that someday he’ll “thaw-out” & return to them … ?
I’m still holding out for he dug his way out and was found with full amnesia somewhere else, and has been living all this time not knowing who he really is. Something triggering it, or someone else that in his ‘new life’ brings Hubris’ father to the fest, and they will meet…. yeah. I like that.
…still, his letting-go of Kara was probably a big step, which helped him to then make this “baby step” of referring to his dad as actually being dead, & not just “gone”.

CHANGE: “…we still don’t if they…”
INTO: “…we still don’t KNOW if they,,,”
A rebel who now has his cause.
My family wants me to work 16 hour days 7 days a week, so I guess I’m a rebel with a pause.
Sounds like they farm or have a family business and expect you to be free labor. My sympathies. As for being a rebel with a cause, I married one. I’ve officially been one for almost 40 years now. Heh.
A new ship?
