That is so sad. I can see my Dad doing that at some point, but I would stick up for myself and he finally treated me like an adult. My Dad lived me for the last 7 years of his life (He was 85 and died at 92) - there were times he would make me cry and I would take the dogs for a walk and sit on the beach and cry!!! When I would finally go home and he would apologize. Things got better as we got used to each other and I miss him so much!
I really like you wall hanging and think it looks very patriotic. Love red, white and blue.
I agree with others - go back and get it and give it to a charity.
(I hooked my Mom a rug once (hated hooking) and she gave it to her dog for his bed!!!! I was so hurt, but now laugh about it!)
