Father neglected animals the way he neglected me and now I have to remove them from the property. We were doing good, I was just about to live with him half time. I go to my grandfathers for a nice day of woodworking. Talk to grandfather because we found out my dads chickens have mites, we were going to drop off mite stuff. We called beforehand and are told he is 3 hours away going to Arizona, he ask me to deal with mites so I do. We go and find cysts and mites all over chickens. Need to remove from house. Contact father next day, horrible fight trying to justify himself, mad at everyone for doing the right thing. My 16th birthday is next week and I have to deal with this bullshit. This was just a piece of what’s going on and I’m so upset right now. He’s trying to play the victim card right now and I’m afraid I have to press animal abuse charges so that he’ll shut up.
