blufindr's rant of the week (has swears)

[blufindr]

What the fuck do you think you're doing? You know she legally can't drive, she needs your help on errands. You know it's YOUR responsibility to make sure she doesn't get hurt. Even if it wasn't, it would be the nice, decent, HUMAN thing to do!

Especially when it's 10pm, raining, in OUR suburb, and she needs to go to the store, you should NOT be making her walk! It wouldn't kill you at all to put down the fucking dice and stop fucking gambling.

She walked. In the dark, in the rain, in a drug suburb. Do you seriously want to be the one they call to tell you she's in the hospital? Even the morgue?

Or maybe you'd be glad to get rid of her. That's the only thing I can think of, that would explain your behaviour.

The bottom line is, you should have driven her there at least. There and back. Not made her walk. Not made her wait. What kind of fucking gentleman are you?!

And today? What the hell happened to you today? Where the fuck were you? You were meant to pick her up!

Granted, she should have found an alternate way home. But YOU KNOW SHE CAN'T DRIVE. YOU KNEW SHE NEEDED A RIDE HOME.

And YOU LET HER WALK. IN HER HEELS.

10 kilometres. She started walking 3 hours ago. Where the fuck is she, huh? You couldn't take out half an hour to take her home? You put yourself first, as always. YOUR gambling comes first. YOUR work comes first.

You couldn't give two shits about her safety.

Why the fuck are you still fucking her then?

Fuck you, Dad. You have nothing to say about treating people right. You still don't know shit about it.

--------------------

Thanks for reading it all, if you did.

I really hate my father sometimes.

And the nice thing is this is happening just as I get better and the home situation gets better.

Screw this. I'm so moving out.

She can't legally drive, she's lost her licence for a couple of months (eh, crappy driving + police with vendettas). And he lets her walk everywhere.

I left for a night, came home, he went apeshit at me for having left at all, I left again and been gone since Wednesday. Not coming home until after the mediated negotiations on Thursday.

That sounds really bad . I was going to say I hope you can move out, but are you the only other person who helps her?

I'm the only one with any kind of power TO help her. I'm the only one who can get him to change.

After the negotiations on Thursday, I'll be moving back (been at my boyfriend's since Wednesday, see previous reply to Daniel). If he's still unbearable to live with, me, her, grandpa, we're all moving out.

Too far

I need to graduate here anyway. I might end up going to the States after this year, depending on how my SATs go. I got 1910 this year, if I get more than 2000 I'll start applying to colleges.

That'll get me away from Dad, but I don't know how I'll pay for it all

[klein]

college in the US..... way too expensive....especially if youre coming on a study visa, they only allow you to work on campus and <x> hours off campus as far as i know. i dont think its your best option to be honest.

[idlewild]

Have you looked into homestay options in the US? You could also try heading to a college in New Zealand although that's literally still pretty close to Australia and your dad. It could be a more feasible choice maybe. I almost went to NZ to further my studies but of course, that didn't happen because I was an idiot to give up that chance!

[blufindr]

I could stay in Australia, but the last time I mentioned I was moving to <x> town for schooling, Dad got his roster re-made so he could be in that town when I was meant to be at school there.

[klein]

Tell him you're going to the US and stay in Australia anyway

Maybe I will

But not until I get another fish tank set up and prepared for transfer. As it is, there's no-one at home who is competent to look after my babies.
