[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 619022, member: 1514"] When I read it I thought he was taking something out of the 12 steps and feels you need to make amends. Completely passive aggressive in my eyes. He is taking no responsibility for his part in the whole shebang. There is an undertone of "oh poor me, I will be somewhat of an orphan now". My parents dont love me. Sounds like a line he will tell the world to manipulate them. Now I am fairly sarcastic so I might answer him back and list some misdeeds such as using All in laundry instead of Tide. Apologize for that time you had liver even though he doesnt like it, or maybe apologize for making him eat his veggies. Then I would throw in saying your sorry for some of the good things you did for him. Such as...I am so sorry I took you to your sports games and got you pizza on the way home. Im sorry I helped you with your school work. You get the drift. [/QUOTE]
