Alcohol, Weird and Parents: Alexa, play "Another Day" by Paul McCartney

Alexa, play "Another Day" by Paul McCartney

Today, it's just another day where my dad sits in the same spot in the kitchen for 12-16 hours, only to very slowly sip on alcohol and nibble on food. If it’s his day off, that’s his excuse. If he got off work, then it’s also his excuse. Twenty odd years of this. How can someone spend their entire life sitting in one spot? FML

Today, my dad decided to have a little father and daughter bonding time. Unfortunately, his idea of bonding involves him sitting around at home, getting piss drunk, and falling asleep. FML

Today, I realised that what I had thought was my dad's default state for the past 17 years is actually his drunken state. FML

Asshole

Today, after my dad recently had to go sober or face dying within a year, it turns out that without the alcohol, his personality still sucks. He used to be a drunk asshole, but now he’s just an asshole. At least when he was drunk he used to pass out. Now he can be an asshole all night without stopping. FML

Today, my father has finally started to focus on his health to reduce his weight and cholesterol. He has also decided that I'll do it with him. Now, he won't let me eat unless he's there to watch me. He leaves at 7 a.m. and doesn't come home until 9. FML

Today, I saw my dad chugging a beer in the garage. Why is that so bad? He was hosting an AA meeting in the basement. FML

Today, my dad called me a "deadbeat loser" after I came back from my first day of voluntary rehab for my meth problem. He's never had a job in his life and sits on the sofa all day, smoking weed and playing video games, all on my mom's salary. FML

Today, as I was leaving home for my mall kiosk job, my dad asked me where I was off to. When I said I was going to work, he tossed an empty beer bottle to the floor, belched, and said "Bah! Get a REAL job!" He's unemployed and living in my apartment. FML

Today, my dad has been hitting the bottle, and will only respond to anything I say in a slurred rap. FML

Today, my dad had a day off and was 'bored' so he decided to move our entire kitchen into our living room. We now have no running water, no oven that works and the entire house is a bombsite. He has an entire week off. FML

Today, we're in the middle of vacation. Two days in, my dad no longer wants to do anything but sit in the hotel room and sulk because, "it's all about us." We'd already tried taking him to an antique car and motorcycle museum, and a local gun show, but he just sat in the car pouting. Five more days of this. FML

Many people spend their lives sitting in 3 or 4 different spots. He's just got the process streamlined.

A man can be very happy doing very little. If that is what brings him peace and serenity, then let it be.

If he's been doing it for 20 years I'm wondering why it's bothering you now. I'd think you'd be use to it.

I am on my feet 10 hours a day, in a factory. been hurt a number of times, treated like heathen scum but they pay to much to leave atm. when I get home I don't want to do anything or go anywhere. add in any sort of alcoholism and there you go. overworked people often seem lazy the minute they get to relax. it's like most white collar workers I know always want to go hiking, for drives, to the mall and talk because they are stuck sitting all day. the difference is physical vs mental exhaustion.
