I wish there was something I could say to stop his ability to upset you like he does. My honest opinion is that he's just plain nuts. He's controlling, vindictive, selfish, lazy and I wonder if the biggest reason he wants the girls is because it provides him with more money that he doesn't have to earn honestly and it also gives him power over you.

You always seem so much happier and at ease when you don't talk to him much. You and Andy have been playing the same game with each other for years. I really wish you would give yourself an honest chance to move on with the thought that he is totally out of your life. I really think he's sucking the life out of you.

I have to admit that your story fascinates me and I probably shouldn't even read your thread because it pisses me off so much that he treats you the way he does. You deserve so much better.
