My dad was diagnosed with Parkinsons about two-three years ago.

Now, this is going to sound just absolutely horrible but first, a disclaimer: My dad has always been verbally and emotionally abusive and one of his tools was hate letters. Pages and pages of telling me what a horrible person I was and if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have a pot of pi** from, etc. I finally started mailing them back to him unopened.

My point is this--now that he has Parkinsons, he can no longer write. And I feel this is a Universal halt to his horrible letters. Of course, he can still make terrible phone calls but I have the choice, thanks to caller id, whether to answer them or not. I don't know, I just needed to write about this for some reason I don't want to be like him when I'm in my 80's and still doing the same things I did when I was in my 40's and causing pain.
