[QUOTE="Star*, post: 227705, member: 4964"] You know - many, many years ago during a Christmas break I was at home with my Father and my sister. My sister is Aspie light and possibly BiPolar (BP) (she's now admitted to medications) uh huh.....it was always ME. (Great) So anyway - Mom had been with us for a long time and just needed a reality break. So Dad said he would handle things. Mom left. I think her skid marks can still be found beneath the years of gravel. Anywho - there is me, sis and Dad and sis starts her "thing". I retaliate and the next thing ya know - it's an all out war. Dad at the end of his string calls both of us to the back door. He tells us to go out into the yard. (we do) He walked out into the yard with TWO butcher knives. Long Sharp......awful looking. Then he said "If I hear ONE MORE PERSON say I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" and then handed us both a knife and walked away and said "Whomever comes in alive can live here and the other one can keep quiet for a long long time. THen he just walked in the house. My sister and I stood there holding knives - then laughed. Eventually we got what Dad was saying. He had had - enough. We drove Mom out of the house that day, left him there to deal and he did. Neither one of us forgot it and there wasn't very much arguing at all after that. I know it was sublime and I'm not suggesting you hand anyone in your home a knife - but I can tell you it stopped a lot of the bickering for my Dad. lol. Sorry you are having a terrible, lousy, rotten, no good day. I am more sorry your Mom got a new kitchen. Not fair is it? Hugs...... Star [/QUOTE]
