i think i just told my father to smack his wife around
ok, first of all i'm not really condonding spousal abuse. so let's get that out of the way.
my father was just telling me that "not this week but next week i can come up by you and spend some time with my grandkids". i asked what was so special about next week as opposed to this week and he said, "well (superb!tch) is going to florida".
i laughed, rolled my eyes and said "i would beat marty if he didn't allow me to go see my grandkids."
like chris rock, i'm not saying i condone it, but i'd understand.
ETA: if you're not familiar with my history with both my father and his waste of space of a wife, i wouldn't blame you if you were put off by this post. this is more for those who are "in the know", as they say.
proof that i make babies. jack, grace, and ben, in no particular order
Re: i think i just told my father to smack his wife around
I think that was a totally appropriate thing to say. The sad part is that he most likely completely agrees with you but doesn't do anything about it.
No complaints from me. But I didn't even cry at my dad's wife's funeral so clearly, I feel ya.

exactly what I was thinking! and the fact that either way, it's long overdue.

i don't think they're happy. i think she pressured him into getting married and because he can't take care of himself (literally. he used to have his underwear drycleaned or would just throw the dirty ones away and buy new ones) he's afraid to be alone so he caved and now he's stuck.
my aunt said he's overly grateful for "all the work" she did while he was sick. this consisted of leaving him alone while she went to florida and driving him to radiation appointments.
as for why exactly he puts up with her sh!t, i have no idea. i've fought with him many times about this and i can't get a clear answer. i'm pretty sure i don't want one.
Christ. Our father's sound so much a like. My father has never been alone. EVER. He left my grandmother's house to marry my mom. He left my mom to marry his dead wife. We moved in after his wife died. He had a girlfriend within 6 months. Moved out to CA to live near (with) her. They broke up and within weeks he had a new girlfriend. When that didn't work out he went on match.com and found someone new within days. And now, he flip flips between the 2 of them. He is physically incapable of being alone. It's sad. And exhausting. But I love him more than my luggage.
