Bummed

As children, we're completely dependent on our parents. Dependent on our parents for our well being--physical...emotional...spiritual.

As an adult--I should be dependent on only myself...and God, and just let my parents be who they are, right?

Then why, even now, when my father disappoints me--when he says he's going to be somewhere and then is not--why do I still get upset?

Like I'm ten and looking out my front door for the millionth time since an hour before hand when he was supposed to be there...

I sort of wish I grew out of disappointment...or my dad grew out of not showing up.
