arghhhhhh!

my father is unbelievable. we're currently having a huge disagreement about his choices in life but in the end, i said fine, do what you want to do, it's your life after all. i also said that i still completely disagreed and would have nothing more to do with the specific situation. but of course, that's not good enough. no, he has to send us (my sister's of the same opinion as me) emails where he explains - again and again - the situation and why can't i see it his way? why can't he just be grateful that i've stopped fighting it? in January, he got my aunt to call me and try to change my mind! like she didn't have anything better to do. when she, presumably, said she'd have no part in it, he sent us yet another email, which prompted a 5-page response, which i seriously intend to be my very last email on the topic. it said everything there was to say - really everything, including facts previously unknown to him - with a very final 'this is the last time i communicate on this issue and any further attempt to discuss this will bring dire consequences such as me not talking to you again' clause. did he take the hint? no! he got some other friends to send us an email about it, which i stopped reading the minute i realised what it was about.

and now my back is acting up and i can't get hold of the shiatsu guy so god knows how i'll manage to drive into town tonight.
