Drama-rama

So, my dad started some drama yesterday, and I'm still not over it. After me asking him not to buy the girls toys for the holidays, he did anyway. Naturally, given our recent history (that is a story for another time), I told my sister I wasn't sure I wanted her to take the girls to Xmas Eve dinner at his house. When she told him he got angry and called me. AFTER I explained my reasons to him he hung up and I called my sister back. While I was talking to her he called again. What he said to me has me laughing out loud still. He said I was a hypocrite and he prays for my daughters and the baggage I'm dumping on them. Then he said "That's it, I'm done. Don't contact me. I don't care if you die and Jeremy starves. Merry Christmas, goodbye." Merry Christmas, indeed! I'm so relieved, I've been looking for a clean break from that abusive jerk for six months. There you have it, folks! If that's not a reason to avoid someone, then I don't know what is.
