Dad
Haven't really been in the mood to write about my experience with Dad until today. I guess I had to let some shit settle for a bit. Here goes...
After some careful weighing of the pros and cons of it all I was able to get my Dad to come to my house. It may have been some what of a dick move on my part since I did it to make him feel uncomfortable. I didn't see much harm in making him squirm a little bit. He saw my Mom and Grandmother for the first time in a lllllloooooonnnnnnnngggggg time. After the hello's were all done we went to the Fashion Square Mall. He and I sat down to talk while his significant other went shopping so as to not make things more uncomfortable than they already were. I will not go into detail about what was actually said in our discussion but I will say that a lot of thing are clear to me now. After our talk I convinced Dad and Jean (Dad's new lady friend) to try rock climbing with me. We had to drive out to Jenn's place first so that I could pick up my climbing gear. Dad and Jean got to meet Loki and Tabby for the first time. Loki must have known to turn up the cute factor or something because he was really pouring it on. We only stayed at Jenn's for about five minutes then we headed out to Aiguille. Once we got to Aiguille I convinced both of them to try climbing. Dad actually didn't do to bad for somebody trying it for the first time. Jean did pretty good too especially for someone who is afraid of heights. After we were done climbing we went out to dinner. We went to Harry's at 436 and 50. It was really good seafood. I ordered king crab legs. After that we drove back to my house and said our goodbye's. After all was said and done I think that it went rather well. I got answers and Dad and I are going to try and start to build a relationship. Well see what happens.
