I think perhaps my stepfather has aspergers? I don't think of that being a condition someone from nepal would have. But I suppose it describes his behavior, for what it's worth. He really can be hell to be around. And the thing is he refuses to face how rude he is. Him being rude is just not a possibility to him. Endlessly interrupting others is fine. Criticizing people however is fine. ("I'm just being honest!") He was hell to be with at the hospital. I've never seen any patient act like him. It's hell to hear how he speaks to people on the phone here at my house.

I wonder how much I've become like him. How could I not? This is what I've been around my whole life. I wonder who I might have been and where I might be if I had had someone a bit more normal for a parent.
