Which I refused. I would ask to come over just to watch tv in the evenings with them, so I wasn't alone 24/7, and they always refused. So they put me in this condo, and expected me to just stay locked up in there 24/7. That was their idea of helping.

I don't have a solid opinion whether you should send the letter in general, just the fathers day thing, but I like what Christina said! While I didn't notice the lies and twisting - it sounds like he just has his opinion and view point. It does sound like he sounds, from my view point, which isn't much since I'm not in the thick of it, selfish and insensitive. I'd say if you send the letter, it could go either way, you never know, but be prepared for him to reject it. It sounds like your dad does not understand M.I. How frustrating! I would hate being called manipulative.
. It is not a compliment, that's for sure. It doesn't make someone want to listen to what is being said to them.
