i am so fucking glad to hear that you don't think i'm being unreasonable because i am upset about this. almost upset enough to write him off, i'm serious. not because of the money but because it's a clear message about the value and depth of our relationship, which has clearly taken an abrupt trip to the backseat of a 15 passenger van since he remarried a few years ago. at least his last bitch of a wife didn't interfere so much

well the plot thickened. saturday my mom called to let me know that my dad had sent a card for Z to her house, with $40 cash in it. so i called him yesterday to wish him a happy birthday and before i could even say anything he asked what i wanted for chrismtas but then immediately explained that he was thinking of just sending a restaurant gift certificate for me and J. like, okay. and the little ones? so then i mentioned the toyboxes i have been wanting to get all year and emailed him the link. way to be passive aggressive and not say what i really feel. the precendent he set for gifts my entire life has now been reduced to a gift certificate for buca di beppo.
