I've always got someone in my family on my case about "call your father!" on the holidays, but when has he ever called ME? sent me anything? told me happy birthday? so I'm expected to call the man and sit there for 30 minutes listening to some lecture about it being my fault we lost contact. it was over when i was excluded from his last wedding and vacations ((i was probably 10)) but my brothers and other family werent. thats when he stopped calling me, thats when I lost interest. he allowed his new wifes jealousy of me to rule him.
It really bugs me when people think otherwise.

*shrug* well thats our holiday family issue,
