When you've lost a long war, the worst thing is to deal with someone who isnt a gracious winner.
My father asked me to send him my resume, so he could look at it, and put it into proper wording, etc. I've already admitted on here that I havent worked in offices, because of my tax situation. My resume is.. independent rep for direct marketing companies, Market America, and antiques and jewelry sales person. My father, with the terrible personality he has, couldnt resist taking a potshot at me today. Instead of saying to me "Mitch, I'm working on updating your resume. His quip was "I need to make this look better, so it doesnt look like you've been sitting around doing nothing". A comment that my family and friends felt was completely uncalled for, and not one that's going to help my confidence come interview time.
I know hes gloating that he won the war. Sheila died, Alan gets the alimony back, Mitch has to do things his way, or else, anyone he says has carte blanche to say anything or do anything they want to Mitch, as evidenced by his teratment of me, and the cousin's comment at the holiday party. I try to let it roll off my back, because, quite frankly, none of these people mean a hill of beans to me. If my mom said these things, that would kill me.
I stand by my prediction that another estrangement will happen before the end of his lifetime. I could see him going off about me if I refused to see him, or his family, as I had been doing, but when I'm complying with him, and he still does it, that makes him a low son of a bitch. As I have been, I'll keep sucking it up. I have my plans for a business, and if it succeeds, I will break free of him, and give him the place in my life that he really deserves.
