Wolf, won't go into the details, but after we got back on speaking terms again, we had another incident which resulted in me not being allowed to bring any of my firearms into their home, or to carry when we go out to eat (yeah right! I just don't carry my fanny pack and carry in the small of my back and they never know)
We have agreed not to discuss politics, religion or gun control just in order to keep a relationship. On my end I had them agree we wouldn't discuss global warming, my step-mom to drop the issue of me ever seeing a shrink (seems my step mom thinks 2 weeks in the looney bin was good for her it should be good for everyone), or whether or not I'll ever go back to college to finish my wildlife mangement degree.
Funny thing is about that last one, my parents are dead set against hunting, but can't get it through their head that if I worked for the DNR and the hunters don't take enough deer I would have to go out and just shoot them. Go figure!
Thank goodness I'll only have to deal with them for 3 days out of the 2 weeks I'm in Hawaii!!!
