Why Patricide Should Be Legal

I'm fuming right now. And I'm so fuming, I don't think I can type it again, so I'll cut and paste from Michelle and my IM convo.

12:27:21 AM Shira Greenberg: Amazing. My father is TRULY the most immature narcissist ALIVE
12:27:32 AM Michelle: ?
12:27:43 AM Shira Greenberg: He's miserable because he doesn't WANT to come to my graduation, but my Aunt said it's important and he should.
12:27:56 AM Shira Greenberg: So he's pouting about everything now.
12:28:11 AM Michelle: i'll kick his ass
12:28:16 AM Shira Greenberg: (I have some photo stuff that has to be taken out of storage).
12:28:50 AM Shira Greenberg: So he actually said "Well, if it's on the way to the Bronx, we'll stop after you're graduation" (While he knows DAMN well we have lunch reservations).
12:29:14 AM Shira Greenberg: He doesn't think the place is "convenient" and wants to find a place....get this....NEAR YANKEES STADIUM for lunch.
12:29:33 AM Shira Greenberg: He expects me to walk to 110th/1st Avenue AFTER my commencement.
12:29:42 AM Michelle: i'm sorry, your dad's such a prick
12:29:46 AM Shira Greenberg: I got him to do it Tuesday morning instead (which isn't fun, but BETTER)
12:30:13 AM Shira Greenberg: He is. I mean, I keep reminding myself "It's a personality and neurological disorder", but I'm stilll ridiculously irked.
12:31:15 AM Shira Greenberg: So I told him (I had to go get the damn keys for the storage in my Mom's car in MDR, just got back)...."Dad, if you don't want to come, don't. You obviously don't want to, so why?"
12:31:25 AM Shira Greenberg: And he just goes "I SAID I WAS COMING, DAMMIT"
12:31:36 AM Shira Greenberg: Okay, I'm sorry, I had to vent.
12:31:43 AM Shira Greenberg: I just want to kick him right now.
12:31:43 AM Michelle: no worries
12:31:47 AM Michelle: iz why i'm here
12:31:57 AM Shira Greenberg: And I also want to cry, because it's so hurtful that he doesn't care about my graduating.
12:31:59 AM Michelle: ill kick him for you
12:32:02 AM Shira Greenberg: Thanks.
12:32:51 AM Michelle: i'm so sorry babe
12:33:01 AM Shira Greenberg: It's alright, not your fault.
12:33:12 AM Michelle: i know, but still
12:33:25 AM Shira Greenberg: I just don't understand how a father can't be happy for his daughter's successes.
12:34:40 AM Michelle: cause he's an asshole
12:34:53 AM Michelle: it has nothing to do with you....well you know what i mean
12:35:04 AM Shira Greenberg: I know.
12:35:14 AM Shira Greenberg: It's just beyond his usual level of narcissism

So yeah. I'm sort of half REALLY angry, and the other half just wants to ball into the fetal position and cry. I know and recognize that it's a personality disorder known as ASSHOLISM or Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Whichever you prefer. But sometimes, even when you know EXACTLY why things happen and know that they're not MEANT to be hurtful...well, it still hurts.

I'm packed for New York. And I'm excited. I typed that without feeling, because I'm just reeling, but I know I'm excited to go home. It is home.

I should get some sleep.

How can someone be so hurtful? UGH. Even when I know the answer, it burns.
