I Love My Dad, But... - Comments

@ JamieAllOver.
maybe he's going through personal stuff that he hasn't told you about?

and idk you don't talk to us much about more personal things like this anymore so i like hearing it somehow. it's also just something new idK

@ m0riarty
i rarely rarely see him as it is. like, before last weekend, i can't remember the last time i stayed at his place. he wanted me and my siblings over this weekend, which i was going to decline, but i don't know what happened with that since we're all still at my mum's and i haven't heard from him since thursday so i didn't have to say anything. he blames me for a lot of stupid shit tho. idgi bc imo i'm a p good daughter, and he brags about me to other people a lot so it's like???

thank i was considering doing one about the better parts of warped later but why tho??

also, i like these new blog entries you're doing.

my dad is kind of a major asshole too but he has been for my whole life, more or less. like last week, he accused me of stealing his medication (xanax) which i would never do. that's the third time he's done that.

i would suggest to you that, if he doesn't start acting better soon, just say at your mom's house instead of going over to his. it may give him a wake up call and it gives you a break from him. (also, if you did want to talk to him about how he's acting, it's easier to do over call/text instead of face to face)

It really sucks when you start seeing your parents differently and that's for the worse. :(

I think sometimes when we get older, I parents start letting go of their filters (because they think we're old enough to hear certain stuff) and, ugh, when that 'certain stuff' just shows you a really ugly side of someone you love...it's really hard to deal with.

I'm sorry a lot of the 'ugly stuff' with your dad are things that really affect your (all the sexism). It's so weird how people don't see that the people they degrade can often be close to the people they're supposed to love. It's like doesn't even realize that his own daughter relates a lot to all the women and girls he degrade and he doesn't notice how much that could affect you.

I wish I could say just talking it through with him would help, but...probably not. I know how stubborn men can be when it comes to their perceptions of women. ("But not you, of course. You're not one of those women!" - Don't you hate it when they do that?)
