[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry the initial post is confusing. I got an email today demanding Thanksgiving. I'm at work, crying in my cube because I am so scared to say no. I've already called my lawyer and left a message.

There has to be something I can do to help. I can't keep depending on my lawyer to back me up. I have to learn to deal with him on my own.[/quote]

How old is your daughter?

Would there be any legal repercussions if you said NO to Thanksgiving? Or are you just scared that he might try to physically harm you?

It sounds like the guy is sort of out of your life and only comes around a couple of times a year. It seems like you are giving him too much power over you.If there are no legal repercussions I dont see why you dont just say explain that you already have plans.

Or you can go the other route and just let him have Thanksgiving to get him out of your hair. It'll only be for a couple of days. It will keep the peace and then he'll be out of your hair again for a while at least.

My only concern with you giving in just to appease him is that the more you give the more he will take (in the future) that is.

It might just be time for you to step up and set your boundaries with him and deal with the immediate nasty consequences.

I'm wondering if you step up to him and demand respect will he back down and start respecting you?[/quote]
