Oh look, it's Xmas
Dec. 18th, 2003 05:29 pmTraditional time for family arguments then.
Up to this year I've not actually noticed any of these in my family, not from when I was a little kid through to the present day. However, this year my dad managed to piss me off in a major way today (final straw in a big pile), so today I have:
* hung up on him
* refused to answer his calls thereafter
* emailed him telling him in quite vicious phrasing that I wasn't intending to answer his calls, would ring him when I felt like it, and if he starts teasing me again about subjects which trigger me into minor depressive episodes, he can expect this kind of response again
* arranged to have Xmas dinner with my sister and brother instead of him and my Nan
* rung him up, told him my new arrangements in about that many words, said goodbye and hung up again.
I think I'll go and have a bath now.
