I don’t think my father understands how this all works yet. See, if he says anything in front of just about anybody who knows me, they tell me what he said, when he said it, what was happening when he said it, etc. In short, I am typically always in the loop, no pun intended.
So, when he makes comments to my brother, the one that’s going to be the best man at my wedding, my cousin, and my brother’s best friend, odds are that I am going to find out what he said.
As a result, I have inquired as to what sort of legal recourse my father could take against me because of what I have had on this site. Granted, I could remove any of it at the drop of a hat. However, seeing as how I’ve taken a stance where censorship is not an option, I’m investigating my rights. I believe this might have something to do with the first ammendment, as I am merely stating my feelings and things I have seen with my own eyes, I can’t imagine that it could be viewed as slander or defamation of character. I whould be getting word in 24 hours.
What’s funny is that this all followed him trying to talk to me, or rather, to congratulate me on the engagement. I turned my back on him, and made no reply. He doesn’t get it yet. Forgiveness might have been possible a long time ago, if true remorse had been shown. Too many bridges have burned. Not enough explanation is present. I believe that the old saying goes, “Too little, too late.”
The audacity, trying to congratulate me when in private he’ll bash me. Two faced asshole.
