I am not pissed, I am heartbroken now.

Ok, so some of you know about the ongoing strife between me and my dad and stepmom. http://www.democraticunderground.com/113743559 My dad texted me tonight that I owe them an apology, that I attacked my stepmom, well all that may be true, but she is the one who called our house and told my partner of 20 years that I needed help. Mental help. I was angry, YES ANGRY! And didn't handle it the right way, but I do not need anyone calling Kat and telling her that I need help.

So I text to my dad, "Daddy, I love you with all my heart. But you drove a knife through our hearts when you chose to join a church that wants to kill us. That is no exaggeration. Look it up." http://www.religionnews.com/2014/04/28/conservative-anglican-leaders-back-uganda-anti-gay-law/

His "loving and oh so Christian" response?

"You know nothing about ANGLICAN theology so get informed from a knowlegible (sic) source call me if you want to know the truth otherwise remain ignorant further your liberal democrats kill babies"

Hmm, I responded that yes, I am pro choice and apparently so was his wife. she once told me that I was unwanted and could have been an abortion. This from a so called christian. Aren't they just lovely people? Is it any wonder I have survived into my adulthood even half way sane? There are so many of these kind of people in today's christian right. It is really sad. He is an old sick man. This is really a sad situation, but his true colors are just shining through. What would his Jesus do? Well, I guess republican Jesus would do this, but the Jesus I learned about wouldn't.

Seems like maybe everyone needs some time apart to unwind. Sometimes it really helps.

I do know that if your dad is ill then, for your sake, you are probably better off ignoring what you can't change and keeping a relationship with him. For very different reasons, my mom and I haven't spoken in years. She was my best friend. Now she has dementia so bad, it is impossible to have any relationship with her. And it kills me every day.

Just my two cents.

I hope that this resolves for you. I'm sorry you are going through this
