    Reenie! Your letter from your dad? Well I wrote one to MINE!

    He left me a message at work today asking where the hell we've been been, saying they've been leaving all of these messages (they left 2, 1 was when stepmom said they weren't doing the favor last Friday, 2 was when dad was checking in to do damage control the same day if there needed any). That was 4 days ago, the longest we've gone without speaking in years. I just mailed the letter and they should have it by tomorrow. I'm afraid Reenie, that I was not as nice as your dad was. My dad had put me through me through too much in my life and he's not going to do it to my daughter too. Told him he needed to go to a Nyquilaholics meeting and a racistaholics meeting, and that I can't even feel sorry for him because he's such a hateful person and to just us leave us be until he gets his @#%$ together and "they" get out of their sick co-dependent bubble. I told him about the snopping I've been doing so there's no point in even denying it or trying to blame it on someone who was in the hospital (my stepmom) while it was going missing. All those trips to the stop and shop for Nyquil yet he couldn't watch my kid for 1 hour so I could go to the doctor. He's not worth my time and I told him so. I told him the next time he spent even a second worrying about us to look in the mirror.
    I said "Our family is sick in the head and I'm tired of it and want out". Oh boy have I opened up a can of worms or what?????

    I think I know how this is how this may play out. She is going to be heartbroken because she wants to see her granddaughter, he is going to blame me and figure out a way to make this my fault because I am the big anxiety ridden snoop and how dare I snoop on them. Or he'll tell me I drink too much wine and I'll say "how would you know you're too drunk on Nyquil to know". This is gonna be great.

      Re: Dads and Letters....

      Patty: At the moment, it probably felt good to get your issues with your father off your chest. Initially, the letter will probably hurt him. It's going to take time for him to digest what is written in the letter, step up to the plate, and apologize for his actions. Hopefully this letter will create a turning point in yours and his relationship. I know you had it tough as a kid. With this being said, he can make up for it by showing you respect from this time forward and cherishing every possible moment with his grandaughter.

      As for the letter I received from my dad this past Saturday, I haven't had the nerve to read it since I last read it to you and Brian. My father has called me twice. Both times I was home. I didn't have the nerve to pick up the phone. I have made attempts to screen and call therapists, yet it is difficult to do so during the day. I have off from work tomorrow and Friday. In the privacy of my home I'll make the call and set an appointment up. I'll also call my dad when I'm home and comfotable. Talking on the cell phone drives me nuts. I rather be at peace, have my thoughts collected and call while sitting in my livingroom and not while I'm working in out in the rat race. Babbling.... Reenie

        Patty: Have you heard from your father. Mine has called me twice. Both times, I haven't picked up. I hadn't the nerve. I certainly owe him an apology to put this additional stress on him as he travels arount out West and into Alaska. I have a Phyco. Therapist appointment in 2 weeks. The therapist is an Addiction Specialist as well. I haven't been drinking. That's a good thing... Now I have to muster the strenght to call my dad on his cell. He is out in Arizona right now. I have 2 brothers. One knows of my situation. The other doesn't. The one that doesn't, probably knows by now! I have off from work today. In about an hour or two, I'm going to call my Dad. I may or may not get lectured. I really don't feel like hearing it. But I deserve it. I opened up a can of worms. In the long run, this is best all round. If I continue to abuse myself, I'm going to be worse off down the road. -Reenie
