So, I went to my parents and celebrated my Dad. Then I went home and started thinking (always dangerous) of my relationship with my biological father. I thought of his birthday in March, and how our last interaction had not been a total disaster. Hell, but our standards it was practically a magical moment. So I figured what the hell give the guy a call, it's father's day.
It started off okay, I asked him how his day went. He had mentioned how he and my brother had taken their families over to my grandfather's house. It was a bit awkward, because the obvious thing is I had not been invited. But really, it was with my grandfather, so he saved me from having to come up with an excuse not to go.
That's when it happened. Looking back I huge over reacted. Because in all honestly now I don't think he meant to be mean... but that almost makes it worse. "We would have invited you along, but it was all couples, and we wouldn't want you to feel out because you are single." Single? When people wonder why gays fight for marriage and recognition, I can't even get my father to acknowledge that not being with a woman does not make me single.
Well, when Jamie gets stung, he fights back. So I mentioned it not being a big deal because I was with my real family anyway, which, looking back was an asshole thing to say.
I was on another blog making some comments about his blog post about father's who do not try to raise their sons, yet feel the right to comment on their sons sexuality. It was a big talk on how over the relationship with my father I am. Oh, I looked back at my three comments : The boy doth protest too much.
