So for those STers that care, here's an e-mail exchange between my parents (you know the drama) and I from this weekend

To preface: I help my grandparents a lot with yardwork at their house. So my mom met me over there and I helped her do some things in the yard etc. Then my grandparents, Mom, and I went to lunch and my mom and I then went to a movie "Larry Crowne." I ended up going back to my apt in DC after. All in all a good day believe it or not, no comments made towards me etc. So this is the e-mail I get Sunday early afternoon.
"Hi Michael,
Hope you enjoyed your movie today. I thoroughly enjoyed getting out yesterday. Thank you for all of your help, and just going out with me. You are the only one who thinks of me. Thank you.
Please don't hit "reply," I never know who is reading.... I love you, love, mom."
So very nice e-mail and I could tell I kind of made her day. Sad that she doesn't want me to reply to the e-mail for fear my dad reads the e-mail and sees her message to me. I mean I guess she wouldn't want him to see that comment, but also I know he doesn't like when she's being nice.
On to the second e-mail.
To preface: I sometimes leave DVDs at the house so my parents can watch them without having to on-demand them. I've done this with The Social Network, Knight and Day, etc. So this Saturday I left "Easy A." I love the movie, and my mom's friend loved it, so I left it for them. Sunday night I get this.
"We only watched 10 minutes of the movie. Get a life. A real one."
Obviously sent from my Dad. They I assume got to the part where Dan Byrd comes out and tries to get Emma stone to fake sleep with him over the gay thing. I don't know whether they made it to the part where he begs her after saying how difficult it is. This is typical for him in an e-mail to me (I've mentioned some before) he considers that I'm gay not a real life, that I'm not living "my Life, who I really am" and that I'll die alone, etc.
Sigh....
I'm done with it though. Mom is being told I will not be entering the house at all when my Dad is present. I already haven't spoken to him in 2.5 years so whatever.
