The problem here is the fine line to walk that won’t put further burden on my mother. She’s in a vulnerable state right now, and if we drag my father, it becomes her problem because he will put the stress onto her.

Trust me, yesterday I called my sister and absolutely ripped my da apart to her. I was ready to go absolutely shred that man to bits.

But… after talking with her, I am going over there after the weekend and channeling that energy into teaching that useless man how to do shit. He claims he doesn’t know? Great! I’ll be walking him through tasks all day. He has no excuse. He will be made to write shit down, take photos, and, by God, I’ll even teach him how to use that computer he keeps in his pocket to do something other than look up sports scores if he claims not to know something.

And if he refuses and/or feigns incompetence even then? Well… I’ll be letting him know exactly what I think of him.

But for now… for the sake of my mother, I’m stopping my fangs short of his neck. But only for now.
