Just for the record. This seems to be happening a lot lately, where you assume the worst and then act on those assumptions. Additionally, if you want to have any sort of honest relationship with me going forward, then I'd like you to stop telling dad about real or imagined faults I have, particularly since he's decided that Sandy is beyond criticism. If you want to ensure that dad and I no longer have any relationship or even a hostile one, then keep telling him all the things you've been telling him. Obviously I've lost a parent in a way lately by realizing that he values his relationship with his new wife more than he values his relationship with me, and I'd like to be able to be honest with you to the extent that I can. Obviously I have less reason to be honest with you to the extent that you're going to tell dad about things like me selling a little bit of weed - which Lou Reese and Ashton Cherry and everyone else I know has done - since he's going to use that as an excuse to pretend like Sandy isn't doing what she's obviously doing. It's quite possible that he's told her every little thing you've told him already, including the bullshit about me burning bridges with D, and now she'll feel justified in doing more of it. I hope that, unlike Dad, you will take a moment to consider that perhaps some of your decisions have not been helpful and that some of the things you've decided are true are actually false. I really do hope that you will do that. I need to have someone who's not just going to do what she thinks is best for me, but to stop and think about whether those things really are best. And I need to know that you can continue to be that person.

Okay, I'll think up a couple other ideas and get back to you after you've had time to settle back in.

Still shaky on DMN board idea. Still in DC for Xmas break (which ends 1/3/11). Still want to find your next story for us.
