I am fairly certain I am not and he is but sooo need to rant right now.
My Mum had a car accident on Sunday and rang me on sunday night (9pm) to tell me all about the tests etc she'd had at hospital and that she had a fracture but was okay. I rang last night (6pm) and spoke to my Aunt who lives with my parents, my Mum was out having gone to see her GP for pain killers; she assured me my Mum was well and I said I would ring back today. I rang when I got home from work at 4pm.
My Dad answered the phone, obviously angry and began a tirade of verbal aggression about how I hadn't rang to check on my Mum and how I was selfish etc etc. When my Mum came on the line I was so upset I hung up saying I would call later. I rang back half an hour later, he answered so I said I would only talk to him if he could be reasonable and so he gave the phone to my Mum. I spoke to her for a while and then he took the phone off her, shouted at me some more and hung up on me.
Its now 6.30. Neither of them have rang me back. I am so fucking angry. My dad is an unreasonable bully and always have been, he made my childhood a misery and its only as an adult that I am able to stand up to him. No one else ever does and his behaviour goes unchallenged. But AIBU? What exactly have I done wrong here? I am so pissed off because now if I ring back it will just perpetuate the argument. As usual its now all about him rather than about my Mums accident. My Mum will defend his behaviour as she always does.
