Thanksgiving Disaster
... a little speech about what you’re going to be responsible for in the house. You said you will be responsible for a number of things in the house such as getting new carpets, painting the walls and fixing Mom’s door; but you’re also responsible for traumatizing Mom. I hope you understand that she’s scared of you, and that you’re not making her life any easier. What really bothers me is that it appeared you felt that your actions were well worth Mom’s emotional pain. I thought you understood that Mom goes through a lot of shit in her life.

Dad originally didn’t want to have a Thanksgiving Dinner because he wasn’t on good terms with Mom, but I persuaded him to participate. Dad’s anger climaxed after you broke Mom’s door which resulted in him getting into a fight with Mom on the telephone. When I was speaking with Dad he said that "this is the last dinner we’re going to ever have as a family". I don’t want to believe that, but it might be true. And if we never have another family gathering, i...
