Whether he knows he is or not, he should support you because he is
your dad and it is the least he could do. You should know he loves you
and if you don't then he has failed you. His  responsibility is with
you, whatever else is going on with him, your welfare should come
first.

I would shoot him but it might cause a scene. He knows he's fucked up,
though; as my mom just said in a text, at least he's smart enough to realize
that. Or maybe he isn't. We'll see.

What is wrong with them? Their son (you) has a piece in The Guardian.
THE GUARDIAN.  And it has generated over 300 comments already. What do
they want from you? You're trying to come off awful drugs but you can
still write a brilliant piece and books and all that and not fucking
die. I'm so proud of you. Your dad is being an arsehole if he can't be
proud of you and support your endeavours. I'm really quite angry with
your dad about this. It is no way for a parent to act. He should be
ashamed. I love you Barrett Brown.

Everything's fine, sweetheart. Had the last of the family time with my
cousins last night and then my mom and dad showed up this morning to

launch

one of their regular disorganized attacks on me and then I told my dad
to
fuck off and he left and then my mom and I argued and then came to the
conclusion that my dad was still an asshole and that his new wife is

trying

to alienate him from me and we called him and argued with him and then

gave

up and then I came into the office and now I'm finishing up the proposal

and

checking to see who's libeling me today (apparently I am involved in
DDOS
attacks against Little Green Footballs; it's amazing how much one is
able

to

get done when one's enemies are dishonest) and also giving my dad the

look.

This happens a couple of times a year on average. It used to be

concentrated

around visits home to Dallas and I was thus able to bring Mirna with me

to

help tamp down the nonsense (she was representing me well before she
even
went to law school), but this was a surprise attack prompted by me not

going

into the office this morning since I had no idea that my dad was back in
town. Incidentally, this is why I'm so good at managing my many
conflicts
and shifting alliances quickly. That and I'm neurotic.

Love.

I miss you so much and I love you. I feel like I've pissed you off
terribly. I have been talking to Jessica on the phone and she say she
is
sure you're not annoyed and I should just be secure in your love.

However

I
do feel far away and I I don't even want to send this because it feels

so

disjointed. I feel alone and like I've lost you.
