An new XBox game made him forget the incident.

Not that isolated incididents won't happen or things have to be perfect but there is a possibility they will stop opening up to you.

Danm, I can hear my ex-wife's voice...."why do we always spend money on your car? Why can't we spend money on my car?" blah, blah, blah.
aahhhhh
(I once hit a stove in my parents garage with my z-28, they moved it!)

X I wish I could have seen the microwave hit the deck. Don't feel to bad, I just dropped off the G to the body shop this am for this years mishap. Remember Whitemarsh Collision by chance?
THis time my fault for backing into someone that wasn't there when I looked. OK it was 6 am and I was sleepy....and my door and front fender have a nice scrape from where I turned into the previously invisible Corolla.
The Nismo will be a nice addition

Hence, I am not really close to him and really do not share the same value system. It really has affected how much I share with any of my parents.

I totally understand your point but it's a non-issue in my case. I'm well aware of the consequences verbal abuse can do to a child.
