[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 546261, member: 3493"] My father was the psychic/psycho (?) twin of your dad. He was the classic narcissist and miserable SOB. I basically cut him off completely but of course it was easy to do because there was no inheritance involved. Most of his phone calls involved him asking me to send him money. When he'd call me and yell, I'd pretend there was phone trouble. I'd yell: "what did you say? I can't hear... too much static" and then I'd hang up. Once caller ID came into vogue, I generally didn't even answer the phone when I saw it was him. Towards the end of his life, he became maudlin and would call me to cry and apologize. At that point, I had no desire to torment him anymore so I would just accept his apology and say I forgave him and pretend that I didn't remember the event he was calling about. I felt badly that he never realized his potential in life and as I get older, I feel more sympathy for him but I don't miss him. [/QUOTE]
