I would have probably sent a cordial note saying I was sorry for his loss, but would have worded it in such a way that it would not invite further conversation. <br /><br />I am learning about boundaries here. They are tough to establish and even tougher to maintain sometimes.Bossy Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12568355839499622409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782059.post-18327468800473873652011-10-23T17:23:43.379-07:002011-10-23T17:23:43.379-07:00I've been there.

In 2000, I got married. And one day, like usual, my dad called me to freak out about something trivial. For my entire life he would berate and insult me.
