I Don't Think People Listen to Me

My dad called me at about 10:30 this morning and told me that he's moving to California in about two weeks. I told him okay. He said he'll come drop the dogs off and I said, "You can't do that. Mom doesn't want the dogs."
He said, "Well, maybe you could have a friend take care of them?"
I said, "No, I'm not forcing my dogs on anyone."
He said, "I thought you wanted them."
I told him, "I do want them, but mom doesn't and it's her house."
He said, "Well I'll call you again when I'm dropping them off." then he said bye and we hung up.

After that he sent me a text with the address and name of the ranch he's moving to and said I can visit anytime I like. Then another text telling me that if I do all the things that made him miserable in his life I'll be happy, and to believe him.

I'm so frustrated that I'm on the brink of tears and I have to see important people in about ten minutes. So if this doesn't end in an anxiety attack in front of people I need to like me, I'll deem this day adequate. Otherwise, I'll add it to my mental vault of repressed memories e,e

He moved to a ranch and couldn't take his dogs?

Yeah, I wondered about that, too.

My guess is that the owners of the ranch don't want them around? The dogs know how to behave around cattle and horses but they're small so they might just be viewed as an inconvenience.

Ignore him. It's what I do..ignore almost everything my father says because we don't see eye to eye..haven't seen him in over a year..life is damn good.

I thought about it but I feel bad totally blocking him out. I ignore texts but generally phone calls are more important.
Prometheus · 22-25, M
Ah. If it's important he will usually have one of my brothers tell me.
IntenseCookie · 26-30, F
Yeah. If this pattern keeps up then it might just be easier to go about things that way as well.

I'm curious. If you don't mind, I'd like to know what he meant by saying you should do all the things that made him miserable.
IntenseCookie · 26-30, F
Lifestyle choices, like marriage or what he feels is productive, a certain type of job- things like that.

@IntenseCookie: He must assume you are a very different person than he is. Otherwise he would assume you'd be miserable, too. You sound like you wouldn't ignore what someone says in a conversation so you must be different...and that's a good thing.

It is obvious he doesn't know how to treat you with the respect you deserve.
