[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 640284, member: 1550"] Thanks. It's typical with him. No, I am not going to call him. He asked me not to and he is going to have to call me in order for us to speak again. Also, I will not talk to him if he is abusive, which he has been often and most of his life to all of his children (and others beyond his children too). He shoved a lady at a dance once and it wasn't that long ago. He made a royal fool out of himself and lost a lot of friends. Yet when he explained it, he said it was her fault that he "lost" his coat and that he just lost his temper a little bit and she made a big deal about it. So this is what I'm used to...this dysfunction and this sort of thinking. He never thinks he is wrong and never says he is sorry. He is a 90 year old difficult child. I don't allow my adult kids to talk to me that way and I'm not going to let my father destroy my holidays and hold the unwritten threat...my inheritance...over my head. If he disinherits me, he does. He threatens all of us with this all the time. My mother did it so I know what it's like and, really, my life is not worse for it. She didn't have much anyway. I have no idea what he has, but it is his money and he can do what he wants with it. I am not going to allow him to blackmail me over something like money. That is how he tries to control the three of us. I am very calm now. I decided to put the check incident and my father's rantings behind me and look forward to the excitement of my family all getting together for Thanksgiving. Well, except for 37...lol...but he is never there. The rest of us will have a lot of fun and I can squeeze my granddaughter!!
