SRS

Even if I tell my father that I'm accepted into NASA this summer and wanna go, he will tell me to do something else like ''Why don't we better go and fix the car this summer''

Just be glad your father still talks to you at all and that you apparently still enjoy his company enough to hear from the guy. Srs.

He is a great guy but damn he is annoying now by slowing me down with my decisions every time I tell him my plans for the near/distand future.

I get why some people don't hesitate to GTFO from their home early in life. Parents become a bit toxic when a kid grows up and wants to continue on their life path

When he's gone, you're gonna miss all of that, and you'll feel like a shmuck for ever having talked about him like he was some pain in your assss.

I will miss him definitely; he was my BFF and will always be.

But why should I act, though, like he hasn't been toxic?

My parents srs phucked me up with a lot of things the past 10 years with their reckless behaviour.
Had to pay their mortgage because they went broke (because of dumb decisions) and decided to wait for some lucky loterry hit or something instead of looking for a job.
So I don't believe I'm an ungrateful son.

They still had though to sell their home since there was another loan hanging up their ass (because of obvious dumb reasons again)
My brother is a retard as well, since he could have saved the house from being sold but decided to SIMPmaxxx and spend 95% of his money on a dating lifestyle.


My family are good people but are total reckless NPCs and I unfortunately don't have any reason to believe they aren't toxic

boomers live in such a manufactured headspace it's hard for us to imagine.

It's crazy to think that their parents were from the greatest generation because they clearly learned nothing from them.
