I have become more than a little familiar with that empty, hopeless feeling you get in your situation, freak. I found out that my entire family could give or take me, my wife AND my daughter for all they cared. They wouldnt drive 20 minutes out of there way to stop by and say hi, they wanted us to stop by there place so they wouldnt be put out.


This was after we were treated like we werent there and our problems were no big deal a couple of months before. There was rampant flooding all around New Hampshire, and we had to evacuate our house, and I was unemployed. We got no sympathy, no consideration, and we even got shit when we asked if they would help us out and buy us a pack-and-play for the baby since she had nowhere to sleep. I guess holing up your kid and his family for a couple of days should be enough, but damnit if we couldnt fit the baby's crib in the back of a fucking car.

so we found other accomodations right away and left. Turns out that hurt their feelings. Boo fucking hoo.

I havent spoken to my family in over a year, and have been better off for it. You are much better off telling him to stay out of your life than beating him.

Make it good and official, say it in front of people, or in an email, or something traceable. That way, if he decides to try and kiss your ass or harass you, you can get even more satisfaction by suing him for harrasment, or getting a restraining order.

Same goes for your mom. The legal system hurts way more than fists. :)
