Because they are old-world relics who are set in their ways, I suppose. Or he doesn't like the wife. Either way it's the same.

My father is an smurf who dislikes me and just tries to put me down any chance he could get, thats what that was all about. I can take it, but what I wont accept is someone harming my wife even if it's intended to piss me off.

I made it a rule to never harm anyone infron of my wife no matter what. One time a bus driver yelled and called my wife stupid because she made a mistake when asking for a ticket. The bus driver made her cry. When we got to our stop, I asker my wife to continue to our destination without me. Needless to say, I beat the bejesus outta that sack o smurf. Seems like he had it comming to  him because all the other passengers clapped for me. I guess he was a real jerk.

You didn't think announcing your marriage after you were married was disrespectful to them?

A) If that is some round about way of telling me I was disrespectful by not telling them. You can GO F#@$ UR self. Who are you to pretend to know my family dynamics and force your own family values and belief on others? Only some coke bottle glass wearing trailer trash wench would have the audacity to do so. And if A is true, why dont toy STFU and just go watch Jerry Springer already.

ON THE OTHER HAND

B) If I take your question literally and it was indeed a question, the answer is No. And do not touble yourself with A, because it does not apply to you.




Not that I have to explain myself to anyone, but I got married in Japan. My family does not nearly have enough money to come to the wedding. Besides, Its not easy marrying a Japanese due to the demands of the government procedures. And a whole host of other auxiliary problems.

Cool it.  Your relationship with your family is your own concern, but by posting about it here you're bringing it to the attention of others.  If you can't handle a question about your family without flying off the handle, maybe you shouldn't post about it in the first place.  Remember that every family is different, and no one here has any special understanding of what's going on in yours.

That was what I was trying to say. Commenting is alright. But interpritation and critism on another families relationships and events from a Snippet of information is rediculous, trailer trasheske and pretty Impudent. Especially by basing them upon your own bias and family values.

MrJ in OZ:  Yes it was a question, and it's also my opinion that it was disrespectful to your parents, especially since we were only given a "snippet of information". I also think you've overracted quite a bit. I also thought someone as educated as yourself might at least be able to spell ridiculous.

Re: Has anyone here disowned their parents?

Respect is earned. Biology doesn't give you an EZ Pass to it.

Of course, have a sense of perspective about everything. If distancing yourself is the only way, do it with a clear head and a clear conscience. And know that nothing is permament in this world.

Case proved. I am of the opinion you are an two faced dogmatic presumptuous tittle-tattleer based on your sly approach to label me and your formulation of a judgment based on ignorance.

Hmm, So are you bitter enough to instigate a tangential demeanor? Nevermind that wasn't a question.

Re: Has anyone here disowned their parents?

I have to admit Justine's question even got me a little defensive inside, probably because I told my parents we got married after we did it in City Hall, and don't ask me why, but maybe it was all the brainwashed psychologically stressed me that felt that way, and I really did feel it. The only reason I didn't get angry is I then had to assume that Justine innocently asked the question because she was brought up to feel it really is "the right thing to do", and that's fine, and she isn't one of my parents so I have no predisposed anger for her. One thing about hating your parents in a general way is you tend to really value real friends or potential friendships.
