3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
It's always with some trepidation that I wake up Missus for "Daughter day", her roughly fortnightly trip to see Daughter. If Daughter was always friendly, caring and considerate, mindful of her mother's serious mental illness, then I would be absolutely fine with this arrangement - BUT SHE ISN'T!
Missus put it succintly herself - when I asked if she actually enjoyed seeing our daughter, her response was "depends what mood she's in". Daughter's narcissistic personality can see no further than her own feelings - and fuck anyone else's, including her own mother. Of course, I can't do a much about it, other than watchfully patrol the borders and prevent Daughter exploiting her mother for cash. (A cause in which I spectacularly failed but learned from last Christmas!)
Putting my own feelings aside for a moment, it is a source of endless intriguing fascination to me that one sibling has become my best friend (albeit one somewhat distracted elsewhere) and the other a vindictive, hateful, self-absorbed lingering threat. I am after all the SAME GUY and yet I have ended up with polar opposite experiences as a father.
This experience, along with people in general has taught me that the approval/disapproval I get is all about THEM and what's going on in THEIR heads. That being the case, I'm going to get a mixture of love and hate whatever I do, so I may as well do what fulfils me and flip the finger to the disapprovers.

8. TRIVIA
Boys are three to four times more likely to be diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorders than girls. While experts do not yet have a solid answer for the obvious gender discrepancy, some believe that girls with mild autism may be better able to mask their symptoms and thus go undiagnosed.
9. ZEN WISDOM
Happiness doesn’t exist on the far side of distant mountains. It is within you, yourself. Not you, however, sitting in idle passivity. It is to be found in the vibrant dynamism of your own life as you struggle to challenge and overcome one obstacle after another, as you clamber up a perilous ridge in pursuit of that which lies beyond.
