I just wanted to let out a blood curdling scream... people s**t me up the wall like you wouldn't believe.
Today I sent my Dad an email saying I wasn't going to be there for xmas. My stepmum called me at work to tell me that I only had to make an appearance. Fair enough.
My girlfriend wanted me to forward her a copy of the email, so I did. But the way I wrote it was dumbed down a bit, I conveyed the message that I wanted to spend it with her by saying that I'd made a promise to her. I also said I only agreed (to spending it with the fam, but I didn't mention this explicitly) because I didn't have the heart to say no. She thought this referred to her, not him.
I should also note that my father has had a hold on me for a long time and because of this I don't stand up for myself, or anybody, especially when he guilt trips me. I think she put that meaning to it because of this.
Once again, allow me to scream:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
