So we went on the holiday, got back on Saturday and it was a bit of a nightmare. The first 3 days were OK but on Tuesday my Dad went in a bad mood for no fathomable reason and stayed that way.
He was rude, grumpy, nitpicky and just not happy with anything.
I took DD out the last two days to give him space and get away from him but he didn't seem happy with that either and it just got worse. (I can give examples but don't want to go on too long)
It culminated in him drivin goff as soon as we got our bags from the car on Saturday with him mumbling we weren't going to thank him which is crap and he drove away, leaving me fuming and DD upset.
I let him make all the decisions about where we'd go and what we'd do. DD behaved impeccably, although I was pre-empting what she might do wrong by the end and telling her off for nothing (I feel bad about this) just because the atmosphere was so awful.
DD has asked why her Grandad was so horrible and I'm so angry. He chose the location, he knew it was difficult for us to do anything without him, I don't drive and don't have much money either and given the location it was very weather dependent.
I did make the mosy of it for DD but I wish we'd never gone and don't know how to sort this out. He's not the sort of person you can talk to or reason with. He won't see or accept that he was out of order and I can't and won't apologise because I haven't done anything wrong. I can't even think what he thinks I did, if anything.
I knwo old folk get grumpy and set in their ways but he's always been like this. We literally hated each other for years when I was growing up because of it and only since my Mum died and I had DD 7 years ago have we had any sort of relationship.
I feel sad we may now not as it's taken this long and he's DD's only GP but also really, really angry with him
