Poll of the Day > Sooo... Back at my dad's place again.

(+) Yeah! (+)

We were recently told that we couldn't stay at Mom's friend's place any longer. Dad had been begging us to come back after the fiasco before Christmas where we moved in for a day and then left because we couldn't stand him.

Anyway, he's been surprisingly nice to me and Mom. Not as nice to my cousin, but they just avoid each other. We've been here about a week now.

Took a hefty hit to my bank account, as it's "my" place that he's been living in. Had to pay a bunch of bills to get the place back in order. Looking to get kind of relatively cheap internet set up again, but he wants me to get a sattelite tv/internet bundle so he can get tv and we get the internet. Tomorrow is payday and he's already calling me a bum for not offering him part of it.

Oh, and also, my aunt died last week. Hit my mom's family pretty hard. So a few days ago someone torched my grandma's house down. She's been dead for a few years and the place was empty, and my aunt wanted it left that way. Turns out once my aunt died, my dad went straight to his nephew and told him to go tear everything down, burn it, and sell anything he thinks he can get money out of. Of course it's absolutely terrible timing, and he doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong at all. He's also lying and saying it wasn't him, but his nephew straight up told us it was and it's obvious based on how defensive he gets over it.

I have no sympathy, grow a sack.

So you've moved back in with your dad and nothing has changed. He's still selfish and abusive and you're still expected to pay for the family?
I can't say I'm surprised as the situation will never change unless you do something about it.

Well, he's actually being nice so far. Aside from the underhanded destruction of property that doesn't belong to him. I did have a decent chunk of change saved up and was looking forward to getting my tax return, but this did put a really hefty dent into it. Taxes won't put me back to where I was, even with my check tomorrow I think.

Once I get a few thousand saved up I'm going apartment hunting. I just want the assurance that I'd have a few months rent in case something happens at work.

Abusive folk normally are when they get a reprieve. I doubt it'll last long.

That should be for you. It's odd how your parents are expecting you to finance them.

Yeah. Saving cash up and then moving out is for the best. I'm not saying you need to cut all ties with your family but I wouldn't let them hold you back too.
