Woohoo! Christmas eve fight about politics with my father!! [View All]

I didn't mean for it to happen. I walked into the middle of a conversation my Aunt & Uncle were having with my father about the Iraq war (My Dad = Pro-war, Everyone else = Anti-war). I quickly lost my temper, as did my dad, who then, backed into a corner by me, began justifying torture and wiretapping. It ended badly, followed by an hour of my family begging me to apologize to/forgive my dad because "it's Christmas".

Eventually, after taking my son back to his mom's, my father did a semi-apology in which he admitted that he doesn't actually believe in torture, followed by a 10 minute calm lecture about why he was right about everything else. I apologized for arguing but said little else.

So Christmas is saved, but whatever respect I had left for my father is gone.

Happy Holidays everyone!!! :woohoo:
