Daddy Dearest
While we were in Denver I spent a little time with my dad (as in about an hour). As of August 4th he is done with being on parole and I wanted to know what his plan was once he was finished. He doesn't know. (head-desk) Of course he doesn't know! Why am I surprised by this??? I should have completely expected that he would have responded this way. The man has no direction and even less drive. Seriously, how did I become a functioning member of society?
When I pressed him a bit he said he wasn't sure if he was going to go to Kansas or if he was going to stay in Colorado. FOR FUCK SAKE! GO TO KANSAS WHERE YOU HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WILL PUT YOU UP OR DO YOU ENJOY LIVING IN A FUCKING SHELTER! Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick. I've had it with this man. He keeps talking about the people he's met (all of whom are also fucking homeless EXCEPT for the couple at the church who help him) and getting his CDL back. Uh, yeah. Getting his CDL back will cost him about $2000 and there's no fucking way I'm giving him the money - aside from the fact that I don't have it, I'm tired of bailing his ass out.
What ever happened to future planning? I suppose I should be damn grateful he didn't say he wanted to come to Chicago. I wouldn't dream of offering at this point either. I'm not his fucking babysitter - I have my own family - I should have to take care of my completely capable father who just seems to be mental incompetent.
