Hello all:
It is me, Steve, here to talk about Ndad. I know what is right and what is wrong in this development, but I just need to get it off my chest and have some feedback.
We are at a family gathering and my parents and uncle will be heading out of town for a funeral tomorrow. My aunt will be left behind to manage the business. As my aunt is leaving my father says to her that maybe Steve can come by to give her a hand. That was the end of that conversation until I could find him alone.
When we are alone I say to him, don't offer my services to other people without asking me first. He then says, why, whats the big deal, it is only family. I then say to him, that the problem is that he sees me as his possession and he should not do that because it shows a lack of respect for me. All he could then say is, what, you expect me to say please next time, in a condescending voice. I just walked away in disbelief.
The only good thing to come out of this is that I declared that from this point on, I will no longer be his doormat. I spoke about this to my mother so that she will understand that some tension will develop. But the real point is, that I can still not believe that this person has absolutely no respect for me as a person. I am 42 years old and have achieved things that he could only dream of. But still, he continues to squish me like a bug.
Anyways, I will end here and await some feedback.
Steve
