[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The pp who thinks her father looked like the ass is seriously looking bad to me. How heartbroken her father must be to know that her mom is welcomed with open arms but he is not. All because he voiced a concern that he felt you don't treat family like outsiders.[/quote]

It is his own fault! I don't feel sorry for him at all. [/quote]

Sounds like the father really did behave like an ass and brought it on himself.  I feel sorry for his wife that has to live with that.[/quote]

Thanks, PPs.  These posters who don't get it are really obnoxious and judgemental.  My dad is a very difficult, stubborn, my way or the highway sort.  He was not "heartbroken" not at all.  He was angry because he didn't get his way, he wasn't in charge of the situation.  My mom puts up with a great deal of verbal abuse and dictatorial behavior that gets worse as they get older.  I love my Dad but I know exactly how he operates and I have built some very adept ways of handling him to avoid being put in bad situations by his demands.  All staying together in a cramped house with no real alone space and young children was the absolute worst experience for my husband, kids, mom and myself.  Yes, we did try it more than once and it invariable resulted in  emotional exhaustion for everyone.  He has been to our bigger house several times it's just that more recently (past 3 yrs or so) his drinking and smoking have caught up with him and his health is falling apart.  I didn't give all those details because it didn't seem necessary but, after reading the rude and judgmental posts above, I figure I would spell it out.  And frankly, even were he a sweet, gentle, neat and tidy non-smoker, We would not have been able to accomodate him and my mom in that house at the same time.  Just not enough space, period.[/quote]

You posted your "issue" on a public forum, so no complaining when you don't like some of the judgments being made here.  I hope your own kids have a bigger heart than you do.  [/quote]
