    God, that reminds me of my family.

    I’ve not had kids, probably never going to, I am at least aware that my model of what a family is supposed to look like is utterly fucked…

    But oh dear lord I know that kind of infuriating bullshit, the utter, total disrespect.

    Me just reading that story gives me half a mind to perform an unauthorized dental procedure with a blunt object on an uninformed patient, goddamnit…

    But, again, this is why I at the very least know that I am not currently ready for taking on responsibilities that… would greatly anger me if they were … interfered with, disrespected, belittled, etc.

    I got a degree in econ, my dumbfuck dad ruined his finances with booze and duis, oh and then apparently, after i ghosted them…

    … he retired and bought a fucking house at the actual peak of the housing market.

    He raised me on Limbaugh, you see, piqued my interest enough that I went on to study econ. and poli sci.

    … and learn that near everything a dittohead believes is fundamentally wrong, misconstrued, or short sighted and lacking the ability to consider systemic complexity.

    Oh well. I tried to give him advice, he never listened, despite forcing his “advice” onto me… my career was in database analytics and management, I worked for a world class import export company, wrote software, produced the top level reports for C Suite.

    But uh, nope, nope. Dad knows economy better than me.

    … At this point, I’m still genuienly planning on taking a sledgehammer to his gravestone, after he dies.

    … … … assuming he can even afford one.
