I thought that only happened at my house.
My youngest brother is an extremely bigoted liberal. On top of that he smokes at lot of marijuana, so he is very paranoid. No matter how carefully I word my end of any conversation, he will eventually break out in an avalanche of profane and obscene diatribe. I don't communicate with him anymore. Sometimes I imagine myself beating him to death. Clearly, he and I need a lot of space. His son is like him, only worse. He will physically strike people.
I hope your Christmas is going well. I have been thinking of you.
Sometimes I listen to songs by Petula Clark when I’m feeling glum.
