 Argument with dad, can't see my Yorkie!
My father had a stroke 2 years ago. He was kind of grumpy before that, but it didn't bother me. After he left the hospital the doctors and therapists said that he will have a new outlook on life and be much happier. We'll they couldn't be farther from the truth. He is the most miserable and mean person now. My parents live a few blocks from me and they take care of Toby since I work out of town. Last Friday I was at their house fixing my truck and the replacement part broke and my dad went and got me a new one. I started having the same problem with the new part. So I said to my dad I can't make this work and he freaked on me. (He needed the truck to pull the boat out of the water the next morning). So needless to say he told me to get out of his f'ing house and I haven't talked to them since. I can deal with that. BUT! I cannot deal with not seeing my dog. Since he is 16 now, I know he won't live forever and I want to visit with him every chance I get. My parents both are very stubborn and I know my dad would never say sorry. So today I took all his leaves and grass to the dump while they were at the cottage, hoping he will call and thank me. Should I give in knowing I did nothing wrong? I feel terrible but I think I need to stand my ground.
Sorry to babble but any input would be good!
