Crappy way for you to be treated. Thanks for telling the story so well, and for the extremely funny “I felt like Godzilla attacking Coon Rapids” line.

Fuck him, Jodi. You are awesome beyond words, and if I had to guess, I’d say there’s something about you that makes him feel insecure. Forget about him and revel in your size. It takes a lot of space to be as fabulous as you are. Own it. And again, fuck him!

In reply to Jodi. Yes, I felt better after writing my rant, too. Bullying just really pushes my buttons. And I'm glad your sisters get it and were there for you.

In reply to Katherine. Just writing about what an asshole he was, made me feel better. There are a whole host of reasons that I avoid that side of my family, and he is but a small, insignificant part of that. And it will make you happy to know, the next day at the funeral, my sisters ran interference between me and the asshole so I didn't have to deal with him. They totally had my back.

In reply to Donna Trump.

Isn’t that wan smile the worst?

I started to call my dad’s family out on their racism when I was a teenager. I rarely keep quiet about stuff like that. Even this Christmas when one of my (mom’s side) uncle & cousins were talking about how teen boys only have one thing on their mind, I piped up for girls.

But something about being personally humiliated just stops me in my tracks. Plus, to be honest, he is not worth the drama and strife. I have literally not spoken to him in 20 years, and I probably won’t see him until the next funeral, which won’t be as emotionally wrought as this one was, and he’ll be toast.

God, I hate that guy!
