angry

I don't understand what's my dad's problem with going for my mom's old company gathering. He said himself that some of my mom's good friends are there and that they haven't seen each other for a long time.

And now he's making a big fuss about not going.

Granted, the organisers of the gathering said the event said the gathering (which was planned for today) was subject to confirmation and they didn't confirm anything with us (they only just called, like a few minutes ago) and so it's very last minute. But he didn't have to put it they way he did when he said he doesn't wanna go. My mom likes it when we attend functions as a family, so when he said bluntly that he didn't wanna go, my mom's expression was like someone had just swung a sledgehammer into her gut. And then he told her that if she wanted, she could go on her own or with us (me and bro), and then went on about how it's really their fault for not confirming anything, well, basically blaming everything else to make it seem justified that he doesn't wanna go.

My mom's friend just called. And my mom had to lie to her. For my dad.

I sure as hell hope he appreciates it.

I'm not happy about this at all. Not one bit.

Now my mom's trying to sound like everything is alright. Like she isn't hurt or disappointed by it.

Hurts.
