For once, my father seems to be understanding about a position I have, which is so rare.
He called and told me that we were invited to spend Father's Day with the cousins I don't like, who have treated me so badly. Since it is his day, and instead of erupting.. I decided to e-mail him, and gently tell him that while I would go along with whatever he wants, seeing those cousins would be difficult for me, with how frustrating things have been lately with work, the DMV, and Barney. He told me that one of the cousins wanted to call me, to specifically invite me, but I think he understood when I explained why I didn't want to go. Now, we will be spending the day with his stepchildren, Cheryl, he and I, which is fine.
Although things weren't as volatile with those cousins as they are with my uncle, I just wanted to spare myself questions or judgements about my situation.
I think he knows I'm upset in general, between being ignored about the business I want to do, Barney, the DMV, and my difficulty in selling things, I'm just feeling like shit. In many ways, I feel worse now than I did a year ago when I moved here, and I think my life is worse. I'm hoping I can catch a break with getting the DMV taken care of, a part time job, and the business going.
When I told my dad that Barney blew me off tonight, after what Barney did last week, my dad told me to take Barney with a grain of salt.
Hopefully, I can take care of the things I have to, and things will start to get better.
