Hello, NZ – I must apologize for not getting back to you at the end of 3 months as planned. I’ve been away from AT for a while, though I must admit I thought about this around that time and had good intentions….
This is true – I remember agreeing with it even back as far as the time of the reading. I have continued to handle things with more equanimity.
An ongoing frustration for me was/has been his unwillingness to accept that he will not be allowed to drive again, including his “story” about how the new doctor is flat out wrong. !
(Current update: He has accepted that this is the situation now, but will still explain why the doctor is mistaken.)
I can’t say that this played out in the three months that the reading was for. Impasse/tied up/paperwork for that period describes my wish that he would give up on the driving license and sell the car that has been sitting idle. No resolution in that time period.
(Currently: it seems – maybe – that we are going to be able to finish with this now. If he doesn’t change his mind again.)
I would not describe my dad as a depressive person, but he can withdraw from a conversation in a way that reminds me of a stubborn kid when he doesn’t want to consider the topic at hand (like not driving!). I have had to allow him the time to consider and mull and get used to some things. Giving him his Cave Time is a good image for me, so thank you for that one!
That last paragraph has been good advice to me.
This was something we had talked about at the time of the previous 3 month reading, and I expected that it would be more on the table in the last six months. As it happens, we are in more of a holding pattern right now, with his being able to stay at home a priority for him and less stressful for me.
This is how it has seemed, with me feeling more able to continue with the current living situation, and not yet time to put him to the trauma of making the move.
Thank you for the insight, NZ. Again, I apologize for not following up on the heels of the reading’s time-frame.
Best, Joon
Going to play around with it just a little bit, so hope you do not mind.
"What will happen between now and 3 months or so with Joon in regards to her father".
Lenormand: Focus Cards: WOMAN (Joon)/ MAN (Father)/ HOME (Home and/or home life).
Pycards: The Advise between NOW and THEN:
Card 1: Joon & Dad: Situation.
Card 2: Other: Home/Job/ External.
MK: One Card: Extra Insight- Warning or Additional Depth to the above cards.
NOTE: MAN and WOMAN came up together and I promise you I did not know I would be getting HOME and HOUSE with the Psycards and MK. In fact, I had to get out my MAGNIFYING GLASS to see if I was reading HOUSE correctly!!!
L: Clouds WOMAN MAN Tower Cross
L: Mountain Coffin HOME Letter Key.
Psycards: 1) The Cave (39) 2) The Home (7)
MK: House (20).
Let's see what this is about.....
I feel in part you will and do have doubts or uncertainty over your father, but mostly this is put behind you, so to me it demonstrates you deal with it. You do experience it, but you process and deal with it etc.
This is true – I remember agreeing with it even back as far as the time of the reading. I have continued to handle things with more equanimity.
Between now and the coming months it looks like you and your father may not be seeing certain things eye to eye and may have dealings with a place like the hospital, an institute, organisation, the Government, and/or even a law firm. A place that is considered "official".
I do not think your father is all for what is going on, so whatever the situation is - will bring with it some concerns.
An ongoing frustration for me was/has been his unwillingness to accept that he will not be allowed to drive again, including his “story” about how the new doctor is flat out wrong. !
(Current update: He has accepted that this is the situation now, but will still explain why the doctor is mistaken.)
If we are looking at the "HOME/HOME LIFE" itself - it looks like what ever is blocked, at a standstill, and/or is pending will come to an end. Something will be tied up or proceed to a different stage/phase. There is some important paperwork that is connected to the situation and will have a strong influence as an outcome. It is significant and will have an impact.
Now, this could have everything to do with just the home itself like a deed, or it could be to do with you and your father's situation and what needs to be done with him.
All I can say is something stagnant or in an impasse phase will finish and/or transition.
I can’t say that this played out in the three months that the reading was for. Impasse/tied up/paperwork for that period describes my wish that he would give up on the driving license and sell the car that has been sitting idle. No resolution in that time period.
(Currently: it seems – maybe – that we are going to be able to finish with this now. If he doesn’t change his mind again.)
THE CAVE: Joon and Dad.
Either both of you will withdraw from one another to retreat in to your own thoughts or in order to be able to face what needs to be faced you (or both) may need to go "inside" ones self, reflect, and emerge when ready.
It could also be a time to keep secrets to yourself/himself.
WARNING: Be careful with mood swings, illness, and dark moments. E.g. Depression.
I would not describe my dad as a depressive person, but he can withdraw from a conversation in a way that reminds me of a stubborn kid when he doesn’t want to consider the topic at hand (like not driving!). I have had to allow him the time to consider and mull and get used to some things. Giving him his Cave Time is a good image for me, so thank you for that one!
THE HOME: Home/Work/External.
With any home it is always about feeling safe, secure, warm and in an environment that you can let down your hair and just be yourself.
This goes for yourself and your father.
You may need to look at the importance you place on where you live now for yourself and for him.
He needs to feel secure, safe, and at home no matter where and so do you. Everyone does.
The advise here is that you need to work out what really matters and to perhaps go back to your roots. More importantly, to ensure a sense of stability and security for yourself and your father.
So, if any major decisions are going to be made, please consider that he needs to feel secure and safe just as much as you do.
That last paragraph has been good advice to me.
HOME and HOUSE have come up like a DOUBLE BANGER! So, it makes me wonder if you will be looking at re-homing him and/or seriously contemplating it more and more.
This was something we had talked about at the time of the previous 3 month reading, and I expected that it would be more on the table in the last six months. As it happens, we are in more of a holding pattern right now, with his being able to stay at home a priority for him and less stressful for me.
HOUSE:
"SECURITY" and "STABILITY" as well as ONES ROOTS" or "FAMILY HISTORY" is reinforced with this card.
However, there is one OTHER aspect to it, some people are what I term "FAMILIARITY" types.
Familiarity types are routine people and find it hard to adjust to "change". So, changing a job or moving to a new place would be very difficult on them Mentally, Physically, Emotionally and/or Psychologically.
And as we get older we sometimes tend to become more fussy, set in our ways, and use to certain environments.
Perhaps this is something else you may need to consider in regards to your father if looking at placing him somewhere to be looked after - in that a "move" may actually be detrimental rather than beneficial if not done right.
This is how it has seemed, with me feeling more able to continue with the current living situation, and not yet time to put him to the trauma of making the move.
Thank you for the insight, NZ. Again, I apologize for not following up on the heels of the reading’s time-frame.
Best, Joon
