Yeah, sounds right. Either this or I kill him. :cheesy: I don't like feeling like I am the only one who has to make all the efforts. Not only does he not try, but makes efforts to be negative. If I made any efforts I would resent him too much. I already resent him a lot. I can't afford to make any more efforts towards him. From here on it will be only exploitation. I won't feel attached to him, like I've never been, and I will take whatever he's willing to give me, particularly money. One thing that definitely never happened is me feeling sorry for my dad. Never. Even when he was in the hospital. I felt nothing for him. I felt worried for my financial well-being, but not for his health. Too much mistreating has been going on.
I forgot this. When I was in the hospital with a tumour he had the nerve to tell me "consider it like a vacation". That was a few years ago. Can you imagine someone talking like this? How cruel do you have to be to speak like this to your son? Of course when he was his turn at the hospital, no one told him anything like this, but it would have been fair to let him taste his own medecine.
He sounds like and is a real *******, but I must again stress out one important detail in all this: he always paid for my studies. Not any gifts or stuff like that. But for important things, like studying and living and clothing (of course), I could always count on him. I mean - financially he was a reliable father. Not one who gives you any gifts, or fancy clothes, but he always made sure to get the best things for me when it came to important things: work, living, studying. Aside from this, he was a total asshole. It's hard to give you an overall opinion, because if you separate his emotional side, he was fine. On the other hand, he was really mean to me and to everyone around him, emotionally. But then he also made sure nothing bad happened to us - except his unpleasant company. This is basically how he was: he gave you a house, and he threatened to kick you out of it repeatedly. He helped you get a job, and he blamed constantly for it, each time listing all the things he gave you. I would say that overall he was a very sick person. That's for sure. And probably as a consequence I am just as sick as him now.
It's top material. I'm not taking the the p!ss out of Travis, but what he writes is just to good to be accidentally humurous. For f*ck sake I hope i'm right, because i really don't want to offend. I like Travis.
