Dear Frog
If I give offerings of slimy Polition stewed in the juices boiled down from those ungrateful children that never visit old people in The Home... can I have a new Dad for Father's Day?
Mine is defective.
Seriously. On top of our usual fighting lately, today he started screaming at me about how my boyfriend probably won't want to do some roofing work for him that he said he might be able to do... Just because Dad spread rumors around town that whenever the Boy comes over things disappear... I can't imagine WHY he wouldn't want to do the work now.
Besides, he never promised.. he just told dad that he has a friend who does roofing type stuff and he might be able to get the materials for free and IF SO he can do the patch job no problem.
But of course, the boyfriend is now supposedly a pussy and a coward for not wanting to confront dad about the rumors (and cause more issues for me at home in the time between now and when I manage to move out again...) as well as being a liar even though he never promised to do the work... nor even said he wouldn't do it... All he did was say he's not coming around for a while until he's less pissed off about the rumor thing.
I can't really blame him even if he does decide not to do the work. Dad swears he didn't spread the rumors, but I'm positive he did.
See... a couple of months ago he was talking to this girl online that was very clearly a scam artist, and I showed him the Victoria Secret model (Gisele) that the girl was using as her pictures... and since then he's been pulling pety stupid bullshit like this, trying to make my life hell (and overall succeeding) just to punish me for taking her away from him.
No, I didn't force her to confront her... I told him NOT to and he did it anyway. He claims to already have known she was a scam, but if that were true he wouldn't need to confront her, all he'd need to do was tell me to but out. Yup.
Anyway, since then he's been a complete and utter ASS... thus reminding me that I forgot to take into account when I moved in with him (intially to save up for a permenant move out of state) that he dumped me off to be raised by family when I was 7, and had little involvement in my life until a couple of years ago when he found out he might (should) be dying because of a rare genetic disease type thing he has (marfan syndrome).
Since I moved in with him, life has been hell. Stupid me for thinking that spending a few months would store up some happy memories for when he dies... and give me some quality time with the 12 yr old brother... instead, its been a lot of misery and watching him be verbally and emotionally abusive to the brother... and taking the hit for it as often as I can manage to redirect to save the kid from some of the inevitable damage.
Having a disease, even a life threatening (though not quite terminal) one... is NOT an excuse to be cruel to everyone stupid enough to get within range. Apparently he failed to learn that lesson. Along with those things that relate to human decency and social behaviors. (further ranting can be found in this post: http://melacynthe.insanejournal.com/1530.html )
So please, Frog... for fathers day? New dad. Thanks and love, Melacynthe.
