Helping you move into your own place is a bit like rubbing salt in a wound in that regard. posted by: barnabus1 (reply) post date: 05.11.09 (1:14 pm) Yah I think it's important to bring up in counseling!! Usually you can hire one or two heavies at an unemployment office for an hour or more to do all you need done, if you can't tap your friends...We all need friends we can tap for emergencies!! posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 05.11.09 (1:15 pm) Reply to: bawdy I see your point, but he ought to be offering me his unconditional support!! And I am not refusing to live with him; I just don't want to live in sin! posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 05.11.09 (1:19 pm) Reply to: barnabus1 I battle with whether I should bring it up in counseling with a counselor who doesn't know my history with my father, and also...it's our last session. I'd bring it up with her if we were going to see her again. I will be hiring movers for sure! They're better at handling these kind of things than me and my friends, I think. I can't wait to move into my new home!! posted by: bawdy (reply) post date: 05.12.09 (1:50 pm) Reply to: rosietulips You know you want to live in sin...with me! YEAH! And yes, you are right about support coming from unconditional love, but sometimes swallowing your pride is tough when a sticking point is involved. posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 05.12.09 (1:52 pm) Reply to: bawdy Swallowing pride can be tough but SO DO-ABLE! Like me!! YEAH! posted by: bawdy (reply) post date: 05.13.09 (11:10 am) Reply to: rosietulips I'd do ya. lol posted by: Sumwon (reply) post date: 06.23.09 (7:11 am) My father disappointed me too. Too many times. I was naive. He always gave a "good reason" for not developing himself and his situation. "I would have made the business bigger, but my brothers didn't want to learn more. Since I loved my brothers, I had to stay in front of the helm. Otherwise I would have made it big." "I was responsible for your mother and you, so I didn't want to risk it. If I were alone, I would be looking for opportunities and going into business. Probably I'll have been a millionaire by now." "You know, you're right. I'll try to develop this into something bigger. So that there's something for you to take over." Guess what? He's now free, he's not bothered financially and he has 24 hours a day to spend as he sees fit. What does he do? Lie down and watch TV all day. He's a lazy ass. Initially I hoped that he would get out of his funk and maybe try something new. He doesn't need to succeed, I just need to see him try. Maybe busy his hands a bit or learn something new, I don't care what. But he doesn't. He never does. And I'm tired of him. I struggle in a job that I loathe all day, come home, draw and go to work the next day tired as hell. I don't know how long it'll be before I get fired, or whether I'll make it at all. He does absolutely nothing but sleep his ass off EVERY SINGLE DAY. And he watches me struggle and does jack shit. I can't tell him anything either, he'll offer useless advice SITTING ON HIS ASS. It's been like that for around eight years I think. I used to think that maybe he's just resting a bit, maybe he'll be doing something soon. I even tried to look out for him, tell him about an opportunity. He shot it down with another excuse. I don't even want to talk to him anymore. He wants respect, he better jolly well earn it. Well, I guess he's waiting to die. I'll take care of him until then, but he better not expect any respect from me. Because he doesn't deserve any. He never admitted his faults too. If he had confessed that he was just trying to boost his self esteem by lying to a kid who didn't know better, I'll have felt better. But since he wants to save his face (Hah! What face?), I'll be treating him with contempt. Because he hasn't done any honest work in more than twenty fucking years, and never wants to. posted by: rosietulips (reply) post date: 06.23.09 (7:54 am) Reply to: Sumwon Well, I can definitely relate to disappointment in fathers! My father envied people who did well, but he didn't have the desire to do better for himself. I guess that was his choice. My father was also waiting to die, and he always said he would die around 60, and he did. I do have to say that since he's passed on, my anger has subsided considerably. Now that he's gone, there's definitely nothing he or I can do to change our relationship! BWAHAHA So I have gained a lot of acceptance. He was who he was. I think the only advice I can offer (I know, totally unsolicited) is to just remind yourself that they're his choices, no matter how little you agree with them. The less you try to change him, the less stress you will feel. The best thing for you is to do what's best for you. Sorry things aren't as good for you as you wish they could be! |
