"I'm doing great too dad thanks for asking me," I say digging into the steak on my plate.
"Well I'm sorry that you dressed up as a prostitute for tonight's dinner, you know I sometimes wonder if I'm not clear enough when I send you the family meeting texts, I should tell you to dress appropriately for a dinner but I thought your parents might have taught you that, I'm ashamed they didn't" he says angrily.
"The fact that I had a terrible father growing up doesn't make me dress the way I dress, free world dad learn something" I defend.
"You're an even worse daughter, why couldn't you have become like that Rebecca girl," he says.
"Why couldn't you have become like your brother? The nicer one in the family" I tell him.
"ENOUGH" my mom yells.
My dad and I both look at her in a shocked manner, never having expected this kind of outburst from her. She likes to stay quiet and not include herself in conflict.
"Every single time we have a family dinner you always fight with each other! What is this? This isn't our family! We're not like this! Both of you don't realize how childish you sound when you yell at each other hurting each other's feelings! You have lost the meaning of these family dinners, it was to see my daughter who moved out because she couldn't stand her father that loves her but doesn't show it at all. You both have forgotten that this one evening in the month is about me and what I want!"
"It's all Ivy's fault she constantly fights with me and insults what I stand for," my dad says.
"She's a kid Richard, just a kid who is troubled and confused," my mom says.
"I'm not a kid anymore, I've grown up you just a haven't seen it, I grew up by myself , I had no one, you were always hiding behind Father and father always insulted me and made me feel small, I realized who I was by myself and no one helped me"
"I'm sorry," my mom says completely obnoxious to the problem.
"I'm going to go, goodbye see you at Christmas" I leave the room and grab my coat from the coat the maid put up on the rack.
I get into the car and simply sit there. I open my phone and text Jace.
