[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 640318, member: 1550"] Cedar, once again, you are so kind and always know what to say ;) It is not new to me or a revelation that my father is a bully. He just was busy using it on my sister of late. I had decided long ago that the bullying from anybody is over and how I'd handle it if he told me not to call him or threatened to disinherit me (again). And I did it. If he disinherits me? So? He can't take away what is good in my life...my immediate family and the wonderful things in life that God gave us for free. I am clear-headed and in control this morning, ready to take on the day, kind of proud of me for not crying and caving in like I have done in the past. What he does he does, what he doesn't do, he doesn't do...it is and what it is and whatever happens is supposed to happen. I wrote him a very short letter telling him that I would respect his wishes and not contact him and that if he wished to contact me, that was fine, but he had to speak with respect, as I do him. It was a little longer, but not much. He will be shocked. He is used to the threa of disinheritance bringing us all into line, but I no longer care about that. After I mailed the short letter (maybe less than one paragraph long) I felt very free and hummed my way home, then watched football with my husband and went to sleep in a peaceful state. It is done. The check experience is also now behind me and I am moving on. He will not be missed at Thanksgiving as he isn't close to anyone, including me. Have a great day, all!!! [/QUOTE]
