>>20883190Yes. We have a decent relationship. He’s an alcoholic and made a series of retarded life choices that make it hard for me to respect him eg his choice in my mother. He has a great work ethic which I do respect but he also mega lucked the fuck out and became very wealthy once he was in his 40s by sheer chance and will. He drunkenly explained to me last night about how he has very little in savings and blows all of his money on toys like boats and motorcycles because “he wants to have fun before he falls over and dies” and started ranting about how one of his buddies got colon cancer or some shit. That gave me a sour taste in my mouth. He has a nihlistic spiritually dead attitude that successful Gen Xers seemed to have inherited from boomers. I’ve always wanted to refuse help from him and be independent but I think I’m just going to say fuck it and start insisting he use his wealth to help me out as I’m starting a family rn myself.
