so...interesting week so far.
I got the job at cumberland farms. I started yesturday I worked 2:30pm-midnight. midway through the night my mom comes in tells me my dad is in jail.
his bitch g/f that he's been with for 8 years now and always pushes him. pushed him too far. my mom called him to ask about my half brother who attempted suicide about a month ago and my dads been trying to get custody of him. so my dad caught her up on whats happening and he told his g/f who he was talking to and she flipped out on him for talking to his ex...my mother...just because he wanted my and jeremy to know whats up with Andy my half brother. and she was physical with him, spitting at him and everythign and lost it and smacked her and pinned her to the ground and told her to knock it off and her son saw this and called the cops.
so he was in jail this weekend.
than after I get home today from work i get a call from my dad telling me to come pick him up at my pepere's garage. i didnt want to but i did.
....i'm glad i did..this afternoon and tonight fucked with my head...but i dont know I think it will be a good thing.
My dad and I talked about what happened. I told him and so has everyone else he's had contact and communications with these last few days that he seriously needs to get rid of her and not go back to her.
and we sat outside my house and chatted about life and whatever. then he told me about his shop he's starting.
so if you know me well, than you've probably heard me talk about my dads art and how good he is at wood burning, carving, drawing etc etc. and if you know me really really well you've probably seen some of his stuff.
so I've always been pissed at him for not doing anything with his stuff because he could be making mega bucks people would buy his shit up. so i've held a grudge on him for that for a while.
so i went with him to see his shop. which is his old jobs run down building. but his boss gave him a key to the building cause he knows my dads talented, and knew my dad wanted to start his own business.
so we go there. and its on the third floor and i almost cried because he had his own little room to sleep in because the bitch has kicked him out numerous times and he had no place to go. so he sometimes..and tonight is sleeping in this empty place. alone.
but outside of the room is this huge space and he has his stuff in boxes and he's starting to set it up he has a portfolio started and old business cards. and he told me he's been trying to do this for years and every time he starts getting a head in life something knocks him down. so then i almost cried again because i've been mad at him so long for this and this whole time he has been trying to do something with his talent. and i just feel so bad because he just keeps getting into trouble so no one will help him and he has no computer skills to help either.
so he's pretty messed up right now. im going to his court date hopefully and will testify that yea its never an excuse to hit a woman but she pushes him again and again and instead of giving him jail time. make sure he gets out of this situation keep these two away from each other. and he has many people to testify that this bitch is crazy. and i hope my mom saves the threatning voice mails she leaves us at my house.
..but anyways..so this summer i want to help him...get his stuff on a website....get him new business cards..a phone. i want to help him get Andy or help Andy be somewhere safe. and I just really want to see my dad up on his own two feet making it without this crazy woman in his life.
...night
