Steve proves himself to be an unwashed asshole yet again. And thus, the chapter is closed.

Well, that's all I needed to hear.

Have a nice life, and please don't vote for Donald Trump.

Steven,

Congratulations on graduating from college and without any debt. That is a huge accomplishment and something to be very proud of. Well done!! Glad you had a good time in England and I’m glad you have a dog, they make wonderful companions. Too bad you fell into the weed trap. I have a hard time seeing any value added to your life, especially long term.

I am glad to learn that you are willing to bury the hatchet, maybe we can some day but not under your stated conditions - no thanks.

If we made any true mistakes in the way we raised you or the conditions under which we made you live then I am sorry (I do not know what they were). We wanted you to succeed, that is what drove us. It looks like it worked. You said and posted horrible things about Delene and I, most of which were bull shit. I’m thinking a real relationship between you and I needs to start with an apology from you. Delene and I are partners through this life so it’s pretty tough to have a relationship with one and not the other. Sorry.

Dad

Life experience, smoking weed, aging, getting a dog etc. have all given me a broader perspective and have helped me let go of grudges easier. I don't hate you and never will, but I won't be talked down to.
