Thread: "The Will"

I'm not "bitter" - I just don't care.... and I don't want them to care... if that makes sense!

When I went to college, my father came down on me hard - as he paid for it. After my first semester (which does not a GPA apply) my father threatened taking me out of school, and cut me off, telling me that he expected me to fail..... (Meanwhile I was Magna-Cum-Laude when I graduated)... whatever....

I took out loans, put myself through school... and he's a lot different now than he was then.... he offered to help pay off my loans, but I'm proud, and I love my loans.... I did all of this myself!

He's now doing the "will" thing. I don't want anything. I love my parents and we have a great relationship NOW, but I want nothing. Apparently that's something hard to swollow for him. I don't want anything that is theirs. I wiped my hands of it a long time ago.....

How do I tell them that I want nothing? They have a lot, but the thought of having any of it makes me sick. If I'm going to have things, I want them on my own.

Can I throw it back in his face, even though we're no longer in that "mindset"???

I'm so "over posting" on my own post... but it's funny how it's easy to just say everything when it's "blind" - so, I'm asking the question. Please feel free to post a response, whether it makes me out to be horrible, or whatever!

Brilliant. That's what I'd do.... but I'd still have to take it. But that's brilliant.
