I am... well... almost speechless.

My dad sent an email to my mom today (which he also carbon-copied to me, for some reason).

Here's a few snippets (yeah, English isn't his first language, so that excuses the grammar. Doesn't excuse him being a bastard though x.o):


"I know I can hurt you badly if I wanted."

Is that a threat? He'd better not be threatening my mom.

"But I am not after your money or the things you value more in life like a good pension when you retire and good house and food that you enjoy so much."

Ah yes. My dad is convinced that my mom only cares about money, merely because she dares to ask him why he's never paid a penny in support of this family. Despite the fact that she works two jobs. Despite the fact that he REFUSES to help support the family in ANY manner.

I can honestly say that my mom is the least money-obsessed person I know. My dad is just a bastard x.x

"James insult me often with things that he learned from you."

Hah! That's such bullshit! (James is my brother, who currently still lives with my dad, although we're rescuing him in a couple weeks to come live with us).

My mom in fact spent so many years trying to defend my dad... she didn't WANT us to grow up hating him. In fact, the reason my brother lives with my dad now is because my mom wanted to give them a chance to bond away from the negative environment of her own issues with him. If my brother has taken issue with my dad now, it's NOT my mom's fault. In fact, it might be more due to the fact that my dad frequently refers to my brother as "working class scum" and "trash" just because he works in a shop. He works up to 10 hours per day, while my dad sits at home and drinks coffee and plays chess >.>

Also, my dad has been taking money from my brother's wallet. As much as £20 at a time, without asking. If anyone's scum...

"What I want is for you to reconsider my position as father of your children, money or no money."

Always his attitude... "I'm their father and therefore they must respect me even if I refuse to do anything to support the family, and even though I've been gone 60% of every since their birth doing what the hell I want, they and you must accept me back as head of the household when I return, just because I'm the father!" is basically the gist of it.

"Your negative to talk to me for more than a couple of minutes is not only grotesque but is unlawfull.I have all the documents that prove you wrong and can call witnesses to testify."

I want to laugh. And scream. And cry. At the same time.

I have no idea WHAT he would take her to court over. The man is insane. Also, he has never EVER in his life admitted that he is wrong about anything. He's never even apologised to my mom for not being present at my birth. He had a business appointment that was more important. EVERYTHING has always been more important to him than his family. He's just pissed now because my mom wants to cut him off from leeching off her finances any more whilst accepting no responsibility.

"I want to settle the differences between you and me in a civilised manner and without having to go to a legal battle where the lawyers will scalp you. If you win you will win a scrawny chicken and will lose a cow. As for me if I lose there is not moneys for the lawyers to get. Legal cost are terrific in this country and once one is involved in a legal fight there is not way to claim victory. One loses a lot as a loser and one loses winning."

Chicken... cow... what?

Words evade me. He called 5 minutes later to ask my mom if she received the email.

I'm going to bed x.x
