My Dad had the misfortune of marrying into a family that sends out Xmas letters (not to mention we now have a '99 Aztek parked in our driveway. Disgusting.) My stepmom, Debbie, left hers out on the coffee table today. Since I knew it would contain bits about myself, my Dad and my brother, I scanned through it. She wrote about my Dad studying international law at the U of Punjab, how Canada didn't recognize some of his courses and how he got caught up in working life and never went back to school to live up to Canadian standards, blah blah blah. Then, she wrote how Dad 'has 2 kids from a 13 year marriage' -- and here's the kicker -- 'He raised them on his own and they are great kids'.
BULL FUCKIN' SHIT. Two fallacies in one. A) I am not a 'great kid'. B) Dad did not raise me on his own. I swear, this woman completely fuckin' idolizes my Dad. Her password at work is MY last name (hers now, too.) I bet she didn't even ask my Dad about the past. She makes it look like my Mom was a deadbeat and had nothing to do with me. My Mom kicks ass. She's a lot like Nancy in certain respects, so that should give you a good idea about her. My Stepdad also kicks ass. I once brought about 7 friends over to my Mom's + Stepdad's and hung out with them for about an hour. How many 17 years olds can do that with their parents? I lived with my Mom until I was 9 1/2. I moved in with Dad because he had more room, and, when you're 9 years old and have the choice to live with a parent who makes you do the dishes and one who doesn't, you're gonna go with the one who doesn't. I found out afterward that Dad couldn't get this house unless he didn't have to pay child support. But I still saw my Mom all the time. I have a good feeling that my relationship with her is excellent due to the fact that I didn't live with her during my early teens. I hope my Dad reads that stupid letter and sets her straight. I found it insulting to my brother, myself, my Dad, my Stepdad and especially my Mother. Hell, even Dinsdale and the other animals are insulted. The only information she actually wrote about me is that I am 19. Honestly, that's probably all she knows.
Let the rock machine roll. . .
