Dear PDoc,

I actually zoomed into this thread as I am just going to need to pick myself back up each and everytime I deal with my father in some capacity or another. Hence, the numerous years in and out of therapy since I was a child and he determined that I needed to be there. There's times like these when I remind myself of the word 'choice' that was used albeit not quite in today's/yesterday's context but in that he has made choices, right or wrong or indifferent. The choice word stuck with me because like Pavlovian dogs, it sunk in.

Dear T,

Thanks also for therapeutic reminders. On his terms is one expression that stands out.

Dear Both,

I wouldn't encourage an unethical financial request which was his grande idea of sending me a check for $25 and with his soon to be ex wifes ssn and dob deposit at a branch of her bank (aka drive an hour from home) because he wants her bank account number and wants a freeze because he insists that she has hundreds of thousands in it.

So, I got a simple card for my birthday. No check, no giftcard unlike the past several years.

On his terms. His choice.

Me
