My mom said that my dad is very hurt by your distance from them. I told her (while he was out) that you can't stand his criticism of her and his periodic meanness. No big blow-ups happened this week, but he came close once.
your dad is hurt?
I don't believe it
She says so.
yeah right
he can't stand me
he just doesn't like that I have rejected him
he wants to be the one to reject me
