I love my father...

So, XH and I are in the ending stages of selling our townhouse. It is the absolute last time I have to deal with his ass (divorce was final last year), and I am relieved to be getting to this stage of the game.

This sale has been...interesting. The buyer's agent and lender first tried to get them in an FHA secured loan...which my house doesn't qualify for (low owner occupancy ratio in the neighborhood/complex). A week before closing, they had to redo the loan. Fine. So we set a new closing date. I live out of state, so I drove in a day before the closing date to both visit family and get this house closed on. About two hours into my eight hour drive, I get a call from my realtor saying that the paperwork was still with the buyer's lender, and we wouldn't be closing until Monday. Hopefully. Fine. I'm here until next Wednesday anyway.

Yesterday, I get a call. We may close Tuesday. By now, I'm a bit irritated, but I get it. This is how house closings go. Dad offers to sign if I need him to. I asked her if I could sign over power of attorney to my dad, who lives in the area, and he could just sign any necessary documents and be done with it (all they nee from me at this point is my signature), because I can't just come in out of state any time in the next two weeks. Agent says sure, and she'll get the form drawn up with the title company and send it to me.

XH was abusive. My dad asked if I could somehow avoid telling him that I would be sending him to sign the papers if we're not able to close by Wednesday. I ask why, and he says that he wants to see the look on XH's face when he shows up rather than me.

I had to laugh...
