An update on the Dad thing
May. 21st, 2007 09:21 amSo thank you, everyone who sent me nice thoughts after my post last week on my father. Update: Tuesday my father called five times to apologize.How that broke down:
Melanie (step-mother) calls, and offeres to treat for lunch. I agree, and say I will see her in a bit.
15 minutes later Dad calls, and says that Melanie just left, and (basically) sorry he was an ass yesterday, but here is why he was still right. ok.
Lunch with Melanie: very nice.
1:00 pm. Dad calls, and says I should do what ever I need to do, and web classes are probably be better than nothing. But I should be doing it full time.
1:30 pm. Dad calls. Says he can't help with tutition or anything right now: finances are very tight.
I say it is ok.
2:00 pm. Dad calls, asserts that I can do 3 classes at USF with less effort than my NCF first year. I agree that this is most likly so, but that I could not have worked (almost) full time my first year, and I do not want to take out loans. He then askes if I need money.
3:00 pm Dad calls. "Do you need any money?"
"Nope!" say I.
that's it so far...
He is coming down this week: we shall see how it goes.
