How can he be so blind?

Comments

[freestman.livejournal.com]

Who?

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

My father in law. He's not treating some people in his life as well as he ought to.

[freestman.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's never a good idea.

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

No, it's not. He's quite lucky she's in his life and he doesn't even realize it. He's not inherently a bad man, he's just blind.

[freestman.livejournal.com]

Being blind can be worse.

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

You think? If we wasn't blind maybe he could let her go.

[freestman.livejournal.com]

If he was bad it might be easier than knowing he just doesn't realize.

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

That's true. Though it's a fine line really. It's hard to know if he doesn't just choose to ignore the situation.

[freestman.livejournal.com]

True, you don't know.

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Oh well.

[forevertwinkie.livejournal.com]

Blindness is inherent in the males of the species, I'm afraid.

Or can be.

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

Not in all of us.

[forevertwinkie.livejournal.com]

Thus the "can be" caveat at the end. *smiles* I didn't mean to offend you, after all.

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm not offended one bit.

*smiles*

Well it certianly seems inherent in my father in law.

[forevertwinkie.livejournal.com]

Oh good. I'm glad. *smiles back* Oh, fathers in law... I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that anymore. My ex-husband's step-father was a joy, but father in laws in general are horrifying.

My husbands now... well, they don't have either parent.

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they aren't all a horror, actually I'm quite fond of my wife's uncle but her father angers me too much.


Oh really? That's sad.

[forevertwinkie.livejournal.com]

*smiles softly* Uncles are wonderful. I've got a shedload of them in New York. Why does your father in law anger you?

Yes, it is. But they lost them a long long time ago, as years go. Oh, I'm sorry. I should introduce myself. I'm Dawna Jekyll.

*nods* Evan, my wife's uncle, is certianly a very strong man. I respect him very much. *bits his lips so not to chuckle* That's a long explanation... basically his mind is ultra ultra ultra conservative especially by standards in our world. I'm a wizard, you see. A half blood wizard, meaning my father was a wizard but my mother either wasn't or was not a full blood wizard. My father in law believes pure blood status among other things makes a person superior. His wife is also quite ynhappy and instead of loving her enough to notice he pretends nothing is wrong.

*nods* I see. I'm Adam Weasley, it's nice to meet you.

[forevertwinkie.livejournal.com]

Oh lovely. He sounds a real peach. *facepalms* I HATE people who are ignorant like that. I'm so sorry you have to deal with it.

... wizard? Adam? You wouldn't have met a young girl named Gemma in the last week or two?

Re: *locked*

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

He's terribly selfish and ignorant and it hurts those around him. It makes me so angry.


*raises eyebrow*

I did actually. An American girl? Starting Uni? She's my new friend! *smiles*

Re: *locked*

[forevertwinkie.livejournal.com]

I can imagine it would. Hell, it makes ME angry and I'm not even a part of the situation! If you ever need tea with a shot of whiskey to calm yourself, I'd be more than willing to share. Well, when I'm not in a delicate condition. *gestures at her stomach*

*grins widely* That would be her. I'm her mother.

Re: *locked*

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *laughs* You're expecting? My wife is too! *grins... is that the Emma Daze? Why yes, yes it is* She wears it well. And so do you!


*smiles*

Oh! She mentioned me to you? Wow. Well it's a pleasure to meet you. I hear your husband is a muggle doctor? My wife and I way be asking his advice soon. *grins* Gemma is a really great girl. I'm very fond of her. We have plans to explore London together!

Re: *locked*

[forevertwinkie.livejournal.com]

*nods* I am. I'm too old for it, but I am expecting. It was a surprise. *grins* You remind me of Henry, my husband. He gets that look on his face when he thinks about me. *winks*

*nods* She did. *grins* It's a pleasure to meet you too, Adam. Yes, Henry is a General Practitioner. I'm sure he'd be more than willing to answer any questions you have or help out however you need. *smiles* She's amazing. Honestly, I'm glad I'm finally getting a chance to really know her. She grew up with her father and step-mum. Oh, I'm glad you'll be taking her around.

Re: *locked*

[adam-weasley.livejournal.com]

*smiles* Congratulations! When are you due? I'm so excited to be a father and to see my Emma as a mother. Emma's nearly 5 months and I'm already in love with the baby. I think she finds it annoying that I converse with her torso so much! *grins and blushes* Henry sounds like a great man, I can't wait to meet him.

*smiles*
I do appreciate that. We want to have an ultrasound picture taken... I think that's what Gemma told us it was called. Muggles have some wonderful inventions!

I hope you don't think it's weird that she has befriended a guy in his 30s. I'm very excited to show her my favorite parts of town.
