Sure enough, my telling my father I went out with a friend yesterday has backfired in my face. I just got an e-mail from him. While it didn't say "Why are you seeing a friend, and not seeing me?". He asked to talk to me on the phone, and see me.
Seeing him is something I absolutely can't handle. If he says one more time about how I will be "better off on the other side if my mom dies" or, how "His wife will open her heart to me", I'm going to lose it, plain and simple. I compromised, and told him to call me tomorrow on the phone. A few minute phone call with him, is not the same as looking in his face, and listening to his bullshit, and threats, for three to five hours. I told him that while I will talk to him on the phone, seeing him is something I just can't do now.
I'm trying to do what my therapist in college said by "Taking care of myself". Hopefully, I can avoid seeing him until I really know what's going on with my mom. At that point, depending on the treatment plan and prognosis, I might have some decisions to make. I'll cross each bridge as I come to it.
