Ask Amy

[dragonyphoenix]

This reminds me how Dad is treated in my family, by his sisters, by my cousins, and by my sister. Possibly even by me in the past. Don't get me wrong; Dad can be really tough to get along with, but if you explain where's he's being unreasonable, he will take it in and change his behavior.
Also, I adore Amy's response to the sanctimonious bitch.

Oh, man. I was talking to my husband the other day about someone like this, and the part that infuriates me the most isn't even the mistreatment, it's the blaming the victim for the mistreatment. Good for Amy for nailing that particular dynamic here. Unfortunately I think the letter writer and people like her are too stuck in their own little fantasy worlds to get it.

Yeah, blaming the victim, just horrible. And I agree, even with this input I doubt the woman will get it.
