my dad is such a bum but my parents are religious so my mom will never ever leave him and refers to him as the head of the household. it makes me mad because i don’t understand how she can see women as less than equal to men and have daughters. he told her when they got married that she had to make his bed and do his laundry bc his mom used to, and he makes her clean up his TRASH of all things. he can’t even throw it away! i’ve resented him for years
idk it’s complicated bc like…he’s my dad. i know he really loves all of us, and he has pretty bad mental health issues like depression and ocd and autism. but the way he acts frustrates me so much. right now, just living at my apartment and visiting sometimes is enough space for me, but i do try to encourage my mom not to do stuff for him he can do himself and support her
i know it’s seriously impacted how i look at marriage tbh. like i can’t imagine marrying a man and he ends up being like that and treats me like some servant. i really cannot date a man unless he’s going above and beyond for me the way i do for him. that’s why im single rn bc my last bf stopped putting in effort and i had to cut him loose. so idk
i’ve had three. the first one was an absolute angel to me. he would make me origami hearts and handwritten letters and stuff and when we grew apart we stayed friends. second one was an absolute sleazeball and got frustrated and annoyed when i asked for very little (like food when i was hungry at his place). third one was my first serious relationship. he started out really kind and thoughtful, but he started acting like the second and that was my sign to go
