Happy Fucking Valentine’s day old man

My dad's a total bastard. He got tired of my mom (who’s a fucking ANGEL btw) cheated on her, blamed her for all his problems, then left us . Now that you’re caught-up here’s what happened today (Valentine’s day):

At 4AM this morning a big vase of roses mysteriously appeared on the front porch. For me from my dad. Sure it’s sweet, but I couldn’t believe that he had the balls to give me some big pricey thing without so much as a card or a piece of candy for my mother or brother. It’s a real slap in the face for them, and it hurts like hell for me to be favored like that (and it’s not a new thing, he keeps trying to get me to hang out with him while COMPLETLY disregarding them and their feelings)

At first I ignored the situation, I just left the stupid flowers on the porch while I ate my breakfast and my mom went to her job interview, but then my dad called. It was a short conversation and I managed to stay civil, but afterwards I went from pissed-off to emo (so I cheered myself up with some Aiden) to SUPER pissed-off. At this point I lit a big fire in the hearth and torched the mother-fuckers (it was actually really beautiful I highly recommend it) I even burned the glass vase (which exploded hee-hee)

Now before you tell me that I should be posting on the whining board (which maybe I should) let me tell you that I actually have a reason for telling this story: I was planning on tapping the smoky vase shards back together, filling it with the ashes and the scorched stems left from my little Valentine’s bonfire and then leaving it on HIS porch with a note telling him how pissed I am at him. But now that I’ve cooled down and had my coffee I don’t know if I should or not. I hate how he’s screwed us over and then put me in this position of favoritism (while all the while pretending that nothing’s wrong) but knowing how oblivious he is I’m sure he just thought he was doing something nice for his little girl (which I am NOT anymore).

What do you think I should do? He’s in an other state right now so I have a little time to decide, but I’ve been too damn emotional to be decisive about anything lately…. (I’m so pathetic *sigh*)

Well, this definetly is quite a situation. I'd like to say in all seriousness to leave the situation and let it go...then again, who could resist shutting down such a scheme of revenge like that? I would suggest go for the original plan because the pain, along with the hatred, will perhaps eventually return even when you hear your father's name again.

I think you need to let go of this. Don't let him get to you like this. Just let it go. Next time he does something like this just tell him you don't want nice things from him because he hasn't been there for you and it hurts you to see your mother and brother get disregarded like that.

Crimson is right but...(hunches over and looks around to see if anyone is looking)

Your revenge plan is absolutely, positively, totally EVIL!
I LOVE IT!

"I was planning on taping the smokey vase shards back together, filling it with the ashes and the scorched stems left from my little Valentine’s bonfire and then leaving it on HIS porch with a note telling him how pissed I am at him."

AWESOME! Er...uh...but you didn't hear it from me.

(runs away...)

PS: Crimson is right. It would totally shred his heart to pieces if you did that. BUT...maybe it would make him a little more sensitive to you and the rest of your family, if your note told him about ignoring everyone else, and how that makes you feel. But then, maybe not.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply to me. Here’s the update: This afternoon my mom, my best friend and my shrink all said to go for it, because he needs to know that he’s hurting everyone, not just my mom (I didn’t say anything to my brother, he doesn’t need any more reasons to hate our old man)

Then this evening I cried. I cried for the first time since my old childhood cat died in my arms of a violent heart-attack in the dead of the night. I cried so loud so long and so hard that I hurled (the only time that ever happened to me I was 8 and my dog had just died) fortunately I was prepared for this and had a bucket handy.

I screamed and wailed and cried my guts out (literally) because I have loved do love and will always love my daddy, but he’s dead now. My dear old daddy is dead and gone: my piece of shit father killed him (just like Darth Vader) and I hate him for that. I hate him for ripping out our harts and pretending it never happened. And every time I talk to him my daddy dies again.

You do realize that if that were true, you would be either dead, or you would have beaten Jesus in that he only sweat blood and made him not the only person to have had resurrected after the horrible death before mentioned.

Well, if he got the guts back in fast enough, it's possible.

I know there's a disease where your guts fall out of your sides and you have to push them back in place so you don't die, until you're at the hospital and they can reposition your "guts."

*rolls eyes* Do you have to be so literal?
On the other hand, it would be interesting to add another religion to the bunch...

I love your revenge plan, by the way. I'd be too afraid of going through with it, but... I say go for it. I'd be in awe of anyone who had the audacity to do that to someone who really deserved it.

I'd do it. I agree with your shrink and mother, that your father needs to know how you feel. It may hurt him, but every time he does something like that it hurts you. He'll continue hurting you until he realizes the pain he causes you, and I believe it will mean something to him as he seems to care about you.

Well... yeah. Shouldn't everything with the word 'literally' be taken literally?

He deserves every bit of what he gets, and that plan is the perfect dose, I love it. And you know if a shrink says it's okay, then it is more than okay.
By the way, your parents will always see you as their lttle girl, always, there's no escape.

EDIT: You know that she meant that she threw up, not that she lost her insides.

Go for it, girl. Oh, wait, don't listen to me, revenge is one of my favourite hobbies...










(just kidding, of course.)



On a more serious note, if you're strong enough to handle whatever might come out of it, I'd go for it. Esp. since your, um, shrink tells you it's okay.
