He has been a jobless alcoholic for most of my life. And has gone to rehab multiple times. He recently went to rehab last summer and supposedly ever since then he’s been “normal”. After I graduated and moved back home I was like yknow what, he still doesn’t have a job but he is actually somewhat normal maybe I can trust him and actually try to get close to him again this time. So stupid, every single time I start to let my guard down I get hit with another reason not to. Idk what to do

And whenever I try to talk about this with the rest of my family their like, “wdym youre nervous abt giving him another chance, just do it, youre so selfish” it’s almost like I’ve been giving him chances that blow up in my face since literally 6th grade, why don’t they get that?

I want to be close with him so bad. He’s my dad, I have more in common with him than anyone else in my family. But my trust in him gets broken again and again and again. He never apologizes or acknowledges he did anything wrong either. Always playing innocent when I beg him to just ADMIT TO ME that hes drunk when he very clearly is. And I’m just supposed to keep moving on business as usual after that? I’m so angry and tired

Like I hate to be the role of the “angsty daughter” but he pisses me off!! I’m a nice person, I really don’t like giving people attitude it’s just not who I am. But with him it’s different. Ever since then everything he does just makes me so angry. He just sits on his ass all day and acts like he knows so much more than me. Yes he’s “sober” now but I don’t care, he still hasn’t acknowledged what happened, nobody has. Just business as usual around the house
