[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 546207, member: 1550"] Hi, witz. Well, you kinda have to know Dad. He doesn't want to cut any of us out of his will. He likes the power that gives him, plus that just isn't anything I think he'd really do. It's possible, but he's been threatening that for so many years that it's just hot air to us. At the same time, it's always possible, which is why Sis and I have been careful. And it's not like he has millions, trust me. As for my sister, naw. She isn't like that either. I have a very small family. It's just me, my brother and my sister, really, and we are very close. I'm not worried about that. And, yes, we tell each other what Dad says about us, but mostly to laugh at. It's not malicious. We know what he's like and he never spares anyone the hate, and he wouldn't stop spreading it around now. He is just a very unpleasant person and he lacks the ability to be nice to anybody. However, thank you for the tip about just cutting him off in other ways, like ringing my own doorbell, lolol. If I knock on my door, all my dogs will go ballistic and he won't be able to hear anything but the dogs. That's a GREAT idea!!! I like it better than contradicting him on something he truly believes (that all of us are crapola). I usually call him once or twice a week just to check up on his health. I try to keep the conversation strictly to benign topics such as the weather. I didn't call this week because he won't pick up the phone if he knows it's me so I'm not going to waste my time. I'll wait until he's done pouting and he calls me. Thanks again for the doorbell idea! That's a winner!!!! [/QUOTE]
