Very strange behaviour by my step daughter's father. He has a new girlfriend apparently, and whilst she was spending some time with him, he told my step daughter that the new girlfriend was coming on holiday with them to Spain. My step daughter objected to this, and after a lot of rows he decided to bring her back to Montpellier rather than give in. He clearly had told the new girlfriend everything would be ok, and (as usual) he refused to back down. I think he has some severe problems with ever admitting he is wrong, and our experience is he deludes himself into believing he is always right and everyone is conspiring against him. Especially my wife, and by extension, me. Past insane actions include deliberately forcing me and my step daughter to miss a train back home from Paris, refusing to hand her over to me in Paris, calling the police in the UK when my father in law died to say his daughter was missing, lying in court about that (and other things), making endless complaints to the french police about my wife when his daughter has refused to visit him (can you blame her?) ... And so on. Anyway, this time he brought her back to Montpellier airport, refusing to communicate with us, but sending messages via my step daughter that they would be arriving at 9.05 this morning. Oh yeah, and adding the bizarre and not completely sane demand that I "wasn't allowed" to be at the airport. Sorry? No really, he truly believes he is entitled to issue these orders. O course we ignored this nonsense and I went with my wife and our dog to the airport to pick my step daughter up. I decided it was sensible to stay in the background in order not to provoke him, yet he saw me there, and came up to me and said "Don't cross me, biscuit boy, or you'll fucking regret it". Now I'm sure this must have sounded great when he rehearsed this in his head, but, frankly, it just sounded completely bonkers. "biscuit boy"? - what was he on about. I've done some Internet research on this assuming that it had some meaning I wasn't aware of, but the only references I can find relate to a no longer living reggae musician, a band formed by Paul Heaton, and an urban dictionary definition which says it is a slang term for a "teenage pill popper". Somebody who likes to take a lot of "disco biscuits". Any way I look at it, it is rather a shit insult, and to be honest, I quite like it as a nickname - after all, like most people, I like the odd hobnob.
What a strange man!
