un-be-lievable
i got this email from my father's cousin this afternoon - unbelievable!
my father will be celebrating his 70th birthday in September, and is thus organising a big party. his cousin apparently suddenly realised his ex-wife was also invited and kicked up a fuss. he explained that, when they divorced 15 years ago, she told her family, whom he was very close to, that they couldn't invite him to anything she was going to or she'd stop talking to them. this meant that he lost a huge part of his social life and it really hurt. things have apparently since deteriorated between the two of them so the cousin decided that my father should choose: it was him or her!
...
i think her family was stupid to agree to her, presumably, emotional ultimatum, but after explaining how much it affected him, i think it's even more silly that he goes and does the same. he should go watch Invictus and consider moving forward instead of backward.
