[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 448309, member: 84"] That's the part he can't "get", Janet. And I've known enough chinese casually that their working children often do contribute to the family funds if there is a need. Works just like every other family unit. I'd have had my say in front of that mediator for sure while I had the chance, with his wife present to hear all. I don't deal well with this sort of outright disrespect, I admit. And even if he never felt he belonged with you, he was wrong in every way possible to disrespect you to the nth degree for years. You loved him, nurtured him, fed him, clothed him, gave him a decent place in which to grow up, educated him........let's be realistic, he would not be where he is today if it had not been for your loving home. Period. I'm sorry, I'd have had to knocked him down a peg or 100 while I was there, just to get it off my chest. As for the nastygrams, phht, he deserved them. Heaven above knows I've written more than my fair share over the years.......and I'm not gonna apologize for a single one. At the time the situation called for it, if they don't like it now, tough luck. And yeah, he kept them to prove to himself what awful people you supposedly are. But I'd have had to tell him buddy if that's the worst you've got to work with, then you're certainly a sorry piece of work. Like Janet, I guess I'm mad for you. All those years of hurt he caused because you thought that maybe you'd done something to him. phht. This is all his issue, all his own sense of warped reality and need to control. Trust me, I spent a lifetime with a very similar female version of him. Maybe that's why I'm so touchy about this. It hits a old sore spot with me. Hugs [/QUOTE]
