[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad used to say dumb shit like that. After a while it was clear to me what was what. My mother didn’t need to correct his lies. I challenged and questioned him when it became apparent he didn’t pick me up because he didn’t plan to or didn’t call when he said he would. So after a while he stopped telling those lies about my mother and started blaming me when we didn’t speak or see each other over months. Always someone else’s fault besides his.[/quote]

XH had a sad story he would tell the children when they were little. He hammered away, relentless about how I'd done him wrong. They were really young. I think he may have overdone it because when I learned what was going on and asked them about it they said, "Oh, he says that all the time," like it was NBD.

The less you say, the better, OP. Don't get defensive. Find a short response and stick to it. Mine was something along the lines of, "Well, we both love you very much." Then I'd change the subject. It's been almost 15 years and he still recites the same shit.[/quote]
