Holidays / Parent Drama

[assiduous1.livejournal.com]

My father called. He screamed at me for 31 seconds. Apparently my college has been sending him mail with "Aden" on it. He asked if I had changed my name. I told him no. He told me that he had tried to go along with this, but when it enters his house he has a problem with it. He told me I was rubbing it (my gender identity) in his face, and he can't put up with it anymore. Called me back, then texted me saying he would shut my phone off if i didn't call him back. I texted him back saying that I couldn't, because he hurt me, and that I would have Simmons not send them mail or call the house for Aden.

My problem at this point is that it is coming time to go home for Thanksgiving, and I would avoid Thanksgiving as I have other invitations for dinner. It is however coupled with my birthday which makes things complicated. I'm barely making enough money for my bills, and am hoping for some gifts to help with my lack of funds. I also need to go to the bank for more money (it's a local bank). My dad was a reagan era drill sergeant, and has not seen me much since I started t. So, I'm rather afraid of the fighting, which consists of him yelling at me until I cry. However, I also am afraid of the drama of my not coming home.

If I had the funds, I would gladly give up the securities they offer me.
