So were kind of having a mini family reunion and my dad is a type A, obnovious personality. The type of guy, who tells a bad joke, and follows it up by laughing, and touching someone's arm so that he can make sure that they laugh too. All he does is make people uncomfortable, bad joke after bad joke. Sometimes he'll mix ina statement of power and authority. For example, someone is talking about their dog is really sick at home, and they just said that the doctor's are pretty much saying its either the dog is going to live or die, and he say, "What, youre not going to do everything you can!?" They just said the dog is at the doctor and struggling to live. I have to mix in temperal comments to try and ease the tension all of the time to watch out for everyone's feelings cuz if I dont and I let one of his stupid alienating comments hang out there it will just cause the moment to grow and the silences to be longer. I can hear him still doing it in the other room. only one family member seems to enjoy his comapny right now....I dont remember it aLWAYS being this bad.
