Reply #55: Man, my stepdad was horrible too...just in different ways. [View All]

I don't think I'd have your self-control...we used to argue all the time...he even threw and ear of corn at me at dinner one time. I told him once, 'God I wish you'd wear pants.' and he'd bellow 'FUCK YOU!'
But I really wish he'd worn pants.
You have an awkward situation on your hands.
You shouldn't be a doormat to your mother or this idiot. If he can't behave like an adult and insists on being an insufferable jerk, then he doesn't need to be at your gathering thingy.
Stick by your guns, and don't let your mother guilt you into letting him come. The fault is with HIM for being so horrible to you. If he really wanted to be included, he'd make some sort of attempt at acting like a human being, rather than an angry baboon attempting to crack open a walnut.
That's just my opinion.
