What conclusion would you draw?

[Guest guest]

I sent a parcel to my father (NPD father, BPD stepmother, he went from a waif

BPD-my mother- to queen bitch BPD stepmonster) and its been held at the post

office since the 20th.

I e-mailed him to let him know last week that it was at the post office.

I never received a phone call on Christmas day, which is unusual for him. He

knows that I won't call them because I'm on his wifes shit list.

On boxing day I sent him an e-mail thanking him for the gifts, saying that the

kids would have liked to thank him for their gifts as well and I supposed that

he was out of town and didn't want to ring up the phone bill.

He e-mailed on Monday, responding to the first e-mail, saying that he hadn't

picked it up and would that day.

He still hasn't picked it up. I have a tracking number that tells me where it

is.

Here, parcels are only kept for 10 business days and then are returned. I'm

taking bets on his forgetting the parcel altogether and it being sent back. My

mother did the same thing 4 years ago, when she didn't like my boundaries and

sent everything back that I sent her for christmas. I was heartbroken. He knows

the story and I wonder if he's planning on doing the same. On purpose.

I've been hanging onto a relationship with my father for a long time. I haven't

gone NC (currently LC) with him because I think part of me can't stand the

thought that I will be loosing both parents. But to be honest, he has never been

a parent to me anyway. He abandonded me twice to my mothers crazy assed ways,

and has always chosen his wife over everyone else. I don't know why I cling.

I have so much hatred for the woman that I sincerely hope he outlives her and

realizes the damage that she has done to his life. Although it would just be

nice if she up and died from one of her million ailments. He will end up all

alone, and have no one but himself to blame.

So, my one aunt (not his sister) thinks that I'm jumping to conclusions.
