How Long Did You Raise Her!!!

So, I am sitting on our couch watching taped biggest loser and who appears at our door.
John Burke III the BIGGEST LOSER!! Yep thats right the kids dad parades himself up our front walkway, knocks....stupid me I let him in. He says nothing but Where is Carol (Annie)?
She is in the office I will get her. The asshole follows me down the hallway. He then proceeds to start screaming and cursing at Annie about Katie. Is she a meth head? She looks like shit, she is too skinny. Did you see the bruises all over her? Is she sticking her finger down her throat and puking? Her damn teeth are falling out of her head, they are rotten he kept saying as he cursed. This ass has a lot of nerve walking into our home and start screaming.
Annie handled the whole thing very well. I on the other hand was fuming the entire time he was here and still fuming. How dare he accuse Katie of using meth. She lost weight by exercising and walking, the bruises all over her...she has none. What she was talking about is a dark spot on her neck that has been there for many years. Where have you been dad??? Have you never noticed that spot on her neck? Oh yes I forgot you have not been around. 2 hours at Thanksgiving, 3 hours at Christmas and maybe 6 hours total throughout the year. You really get to know you children with spending 11 hours a year with them.

I kept my mouth pretty much shut and only said a few things like....Katie lost her weight by walking and the "bruise" on her neck has been there for years. No she is not a meth addict or any other drug. She looks great with her weight.
Annie did the rest of the talking and did a damn fine job at it too. She has known this volatile man for many years and knows the best and only way to deal with him is to pacify him and use humor. Any thing else and he becomes mean and abusive. It took everything I had not to scream at him to get the F out of my house. Our house....Annie, Jan and the kids house. You are not welcome and do not belong here. I have not been this mad in a very long time. He will not be back in our house ever again. If he tries, I will have him arrested.
My only words to him is get the fuck out of our house and our lives.
You no longer belong here and haven't for many years.
You cheated on your family and lost any right you have to step foot here ever again.
You John Burke III will not terrorize my family again. Your words nor your actions will never hurt anyone here again. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME EVER!!

My question is to John Burke III........How Long Did You Raise Her???
The answer is about 5 years...while you cheated and treated your entire family like crap. You do not deserve this wonderful family.

I am so proud of Annie for standing up to him in the only way she could with kindness. She did not let that asshole run Katie into the ground. Thank you Annie. I love you!!
