Re My Father:
A short time ago, my father sent each of my siblings and me a
card with a check (decent sized -- worth a little
more than a month's pay for hubby and me) telling us
he hoped we used it for something fun and special and

telling us not to visit him and Mom.


He also said in the card that he and mom enjoy visiting each
of us once a year.

I called my father to thank him for the money and card
and he said the same thing as the card -- use it for yourselves.
Do not come here.
Two siblings I phoned said that they clearly understood him when he said:
do not come see them.

Sis said it has to do with his control issues.
The New England brother laughed with me on the phone.

I was upset. It helped that brother laughed with me.
