your dad’s an ass and I’d like to clock him

everybody’s always like “he’s your dad! he’s trying!” and i don’t know how to explain that he’s only proud of us when we do things that he thinks are accomplishments and that he can brag about, and that he never really listens to anything i say unless it’s about something that he thinks is interesting or wants to talk about and it’s just always terrible to spend time with him because he acts like he doesn’t do any of those things and is just trying to be supportive and didn’t decide to abandon us all so he could be untethered in his pursuit of trying to do all the things he thought he missed out on because he grew up poor and then try to go back on it and say that he still wanted to be a family he just wanted to divorce my mom

tulips2kiss replied to your post: by the way i’ve decided that if i don’t get this…

wouldn’t that be hella expensive tho???

uhhh well before the city fired me for not making it through training fast enough, they paid me for my five months there so i’ve got like a solid 15 grand in the bank that’s going nowhere and anyone could die at any time so like why not spend a bunch of money going to australia for no reason???? like i also have to probably get a new phone and i have to replace my shocks and tires and get an alignment for my car but that’s not that much compared to what i have?

good mom comments right there

it was especially nice because i was second guessing myself a lot like “well every time i bring up being annoyed with how he does stuff he gets defensive and doesn’t make any changes, and he’s apparently never listened when i explain it from my side and he completely ignored me for over a month for no reason but am i being too harsh? is this unnecessarily mean??” so it was nice to have the confirmation from someone else

  • tulips2kiss: Wow that really sucks, I’m sorry dude (you’re stronger than me, I would’ve lost my patience a long time ago)

  • irradiatedtaquito: im sorry dude 😦

    thanks pals. part of the reason i was trying so hard is that i thought we were on the same page of wanting to be aware of our own flaws so we could work on them and be our best selves. i wasn’t even the one who kept making a big deal about how important communication is in the first place so like? i am tired and kind of sad
