Usually Christmas is a time one spends with their loved ones (at least for
me it is), but things are different now. Since my mother died, my father
has given holiday preference to his new girlfriend. For example, last year
he went to his girlfriend’s house and cooked for her and her family while
my brother and I did nothing for Christmas. We sat on our asses. It was
pretty sad, especially since it was our first Christmas without Mom.
So last week for Thanksgiving Dad tells me, “I’m going to my girlfriend’s
house for turkey dinner. You and your brother are welcome to join”. What
kind of shit is that? It should be her coming to his house. So, I decided
to have Thanksgiving at Dad’s house with Dad not there. I thought that
would, ya know, send a message to my dad. My message wasn’t received.
Well, my bro and I decided that we were not going to have the same kind of
Christmas as last year. We’re going to have fun dammit! I just confirmed
reservations at the Stratosphere in Sin City! Should be fun!
I’m not mad at my dad. I guess I understand. He was totally devoted to my
mother, waited on her hand and foot. When she died, he had no one to care
for. I know he feels very hollow and empty inside and he’s just trying to
fill the space with his new girlfriend. But it’s a shame us kids have to
suffer for it.
Anyway, that’s my holiday rant. Thanks for reading even if you don’t
care.

Hmm, if your profile is right you are already 39! Why don't you take
the first step and invite him for a christmas dinner? You could even invite
his girlfriend if you are ok with that (prolly I wouldn't).
In case he is saying "No" then screw him go somewhere to party,
there are prolly a lot of people around who need 'love'.
Did Dad enjoy The Holidays with the the family before your Mom passed away?
Maybe he's always been a Scrooge.
Hang tough Trog.
Sounds like Dad is drowning himself in his lady's bath. Hopefully,
he'll realize the importance of family & the continued work to
maintain the bonds. Or maybe he's hiding his 15- yr. old gf from you
all. :-0
Enjoy Vegas & spread a bit of debauchery while
there. b0g style!!
Debauchery you can count on my friend. If Santa brings me a digital
camera for Xmas, you can count on pictures too.
And yes, pops enjoyed holidays before mom passed away, but now that
you mention it, he was kinda a scrooge, only going along with it cause
that's what Mom wanted. And no, she's not 15, she's
only 2 years older than me!
You think maybe Dad is a bit uncomfortable with sharing his GF
who is your age?
I tend to be the King of Gross
Analogies. Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding, I tend
to over do it a bit. By 15- I meant somebody waaaaay younger
than him.
For your digicamera, I suggest looking at
this model. I have the A520. I like it for all around shots.
The A530 has a larger LCD on the back for reviewing pics. Let
Santa know...
you should totally start having kids, then you don't have to worry
about grandpa not coming for christmas because you'll have puke and
shit to clean up all the time

Its typical behavior as soon as a long term loving spouse dies dad runs off
with the first bit of decent ass he can find. She's got him now
you'll never get him back. Pussy rules.......
Holidays and crap
