I can get along with him when he's being decent, but those times are rare. Like this past week has been rough, we had a death on mom's side of the family. She was trying to talk to him the other night and he pinned her down on the chair and got up on her face snorting like a pig. Every time she tried say anything he'd just snorting in her face. Last night he got mad her and threatened to kill her. The reason? Because he himself had not paid the electric bill this month. That's the 1 thing he pays around here(which is a recent development, he used to pay nothing). He had the bill and never told us what it was, just complaining that he had to spend his own money on anyone but himself. So then last night at about 9 he starts cussing her for not paying it yet, and forced her to pay it, and threatening to kill her for not having already done so because he hasn't yet.
