#Dad Issues

The way into a boy’s heart

“Use your words”

“Good boy”

“Who’s a sweet boy?”

Texts first

“Pretty boy”

Gives me reassurance

“Did you eat /drink something today?”

Good morning/night texts

Checks up on me

Praises me

My father is a small child in a man's body

I say a lot of things about my father. He's aggressive, dismissive, and self-centered. And yet I can't help but pity him. I see how his eyes look when he sits alone at the dinner table. This wasn't the life he envisioned for himself when he was a young man. He likes to say he doesn't need to prove himself to anyone but lies to his coworkers for validation. He puffs his chest and criticizes himself in the mirror. He swears it's a habit he wants to break. I'd like to think that that's what he sees when he yells at me and my brother. His father taught him that real men don't cry. I guess what I mean to say is that he's still a small child trying to be a man. He's failed. And I could try to hug him, give him the comfort he's never felt, but he'd push me away. He's a scared boy who doesn't know what he's doing here.

you think you've broken the cycle but then you notice yourself scrolling Tumblr looking for posts relatable to share your trauma

objectively my relationship with my dad is worse. but my mind apparently doesn't care about logic because my relationship with my mom hurts so much more. because she at least knows stuff about me. while the connection between me & my dad has been entirely 'off' since i was like 12, me & my mom are constantly 'on' & 'off'. one moment i think she's no better than my dad and the next i'm reminded exactly why she's so much better. if i had to choose to live with one of them for the rest of my childhood i'd choose her without hesitation. (kinda random but indian parents really need to start normalizing divorce lmao) in the end, my dad mostly stays out of whatever happens to me and doesn't interact and i'm fine with it now because i don't really like the person he is, but my mom doesn't stay out of it. she's objectively a better person. she's there, she listens, but also she makes things so much worse. well at least she's got more tact than my dad. i feel like the reason it hurts more with her is because at times i actually have hope whereas i've given up when it comes to my dad. my dad doesn't have expectations to meet so he can't disappoint me any more but i know my mom and she is a much better parent than him and sometimes i expect a healthy interaction and when it doesn't happen i'm left disappointed and hurt. idk i'm just rambling atp

My elderly dad(he is a lot older than my mom and had me in his 40s) had a heart attack and is in the hospital and I feel so confused, sad and lost because he was angry at me a lot for like two, three years and we were angry with each other a lot because like he was angry when I spoke too long or when I didn't do something fast enough and he called me a c"nt(Dutch version) stupid or crazy a few times but now he is very sick and I was like, was he so mad at me becauase he was sick or dying

It's so different from when my mom was sick last year(she got better thank God) but at that moment I was broken inside, just so sad and scared to lose my mom

Now I feel guilt and weird relief because it's just me and mom so it's quiet and I am autistic and I enjoy no talking to tv, no anger etc

IDK how to feel someone help me

Did I do this to him because I wanted him to die

I didn't say goodnight to him last night bc I was angry because he scolded me for talking through the news and yelled at me so I didn't want to speak to him

my parents have an issue with my tone so often I'm starting to think they just don't know how my voice sounds

[greyworld10]

When you simultaneously have mom AND dad issues so you want to help them, fuck off someplace and not give a shit about them, and kill yourself all at once

My birth dad: "(my deadname) doesnt have dad issues / a bad relationship with me as her father"

Meanwhile , my desired father figure , my most played song , my current playlist:

My birth dad: "(deadname) is fine"

Silco himself: "🎶 fucking bullshit 🎶 goddamn bullshit ! 🎶" (GET THE MEME REFERENCE I BEG YALL) "AND HER NAME IS JINX"
