Anybody else have a crappy Christmas?

[JackDragna]

I just got disowned by my parents after my father decided to make a huge deal out of something related to attending a football game. So, because he dominates my mother, I don't get to speak to either of them ever again. Anyone else care to commiserate? Misery loves company, or at least, a stiff drink.

4. Believe me, it's stupider than it sounds.

At least if I'm going to get disowned, it could be for something worthwhile, like beating a family member up or being gay. Not that I have anything against gays, but it'd piss off my father to no end. Why not try it? I have nothing left of that relationship anymore.

2. I voted for Kerry 04. Therefore, my sister does not communicate with me

unless I grovel and call her. My brother is in hiding. I spent most of Christmas Eve & Day at DU.

So, are you banned for life?

3. Think of it as a positive

consider it their loss. Make efforts to keep in touch but if they choose not to, so be it. Go for a run, get that endorphin high.

5. Your mother need to take some assertiveness classes. And you need to kick his ass.

I'm not kidding. Go to visit your mother, and if he interferes, break his fucking nose. Without saying a word.

That's the only way to deal with a bully.

Do not let him bully you anymore.

7. Or shame you.

6. is this new behaviour on his part?

Or part of a life-long pattern?

If it IS "new" - then he might need to see a doctor.


:hug: either way.

Family BS is always tough to deal with.
