He called me this morning to let me have it over the phone. Then he asked me if I wanted a ride to the store. Yeah man like I'm going to want to sit in the car with you while you tell me how much of a piece of shit I am then go grocery shop.

So now I'm out a trip to the store for who knows how long. Until this blows over which could be days.

I feel so small after this, I feel like I'm the world's most shittiest person.

Brother assuming your name is not "Benjamin Nethanyahu", that spot is already taken with a long line of irredeemable assholes waiting to fill it, including that dad of yours.

You don't have to take those calls, you know.

How is Mr. Softee doing today?

I know but I was worried he might be sick or something, usually he's never home this early so I had my guard down.

His new food is still bothering his stomach, he's napping in the kitchen.

Just remember to look out for yourself. If the conversation goes to a place you don't like, you should disengage.

Too many people I know, including me lmao, have found this book useful. I obviously don't know your situation personally, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's relevant to you, too.

Thanks comrade.

I had a dad that was in poor health and also an abusive POS. He'll try to hang whatever he thinks he can, including his health, over you for control. The only way to win is not to play.

The alternating approaches are not internally inconsistent; the motive is to continuously make you feel dependent, feel lesser.

I had to put up with this for years in my late teens. It made me want to run away but I had no sense of how the world worked and therefore no plan of where I could run to.

I hope there's someone in walking distance that you can confide in. Having this would have made my life back then immeasurably better.

Used to be my mom but she's gone now.

I fully sympathize with you, my mom and grandfather were like this and I had to have two years of therapy around age 20 just to sort of start to understand why they would be so mean to me seemingly out of the blue. It did break me. In the end I came to the conclusion that not all parents like their kids or should be parents and I've been making my peace with that since.

It's exactly the Bilbo thing. All the best to you and so many remote hugs, it abuse and it's vile.

I hate it when people are verbally abusive like that. There are times when I'm in a similar situation, so I feel for you here. 💛

I don't know whether you like to be called pretty, handsome, beautiful, or cute but you're all of them and more
