Family buisness can get messy as hell.

I was sitting there at my table having a nice conversation with my two friends before christmas in my new apartment. A bit lacking in decoration sure but not still I felt confident that at least I wouldn't feel embarrased by it. I just completed my driver's license yay! At the amazing age of 27. Im old now. and still really bad at driving.

Then my brother texts on the phone that dad is drunk again. And that he has hit my mom in another of his stupid drunken rages. Apparently his leg hurts after the operation last wednesday and he's mixing the meds and alcohol again. At least that's what I think is happening considering he's been on pain meds for his back for some time and I can't imagine the back problems has suddenly stopped. I call my brother and tell him to come over to my place and sleep. He's moved home after a nasty girlfriend with the mother of his daughter. Home with my father and mother. He's living on the old farm which has plenty of room for 3 people and some dogs but somehow feels cramped as hell cause they haven't built the fucking bathroom on the first floor after what feels like two years. So now everytime you get up in the morning and have to take a piss after dinner you have to walk through 2-3 dogs.

So my brother is stuck with my drunk father who hit my mother who then proceed to call the police who then proceed to talk to my father. Not like they did anything other than embarass my father. And somehow he holds it against my brother for calling the cops. Instead of beating his ass when he acts like a fucking child. Violence isn't in my nature or my brother. But how do show something is unacceptable if they act like 8 year olds when they are 60.

Eventually my brother heads up to me and sleeps on my couch with his dog. He's getting his daughter tomorrow.

It's difficult to manage family problems.

We ended up spending christmas at our parents with my dad and mom. Too tired to write the rest of this little family gem of happiness out. Might just do it tomorrow when i wake up.

I still hope you all had a merry christmas and a happy new year. I had the opportunity to celebrate new years with them tomorrow but I just can't make my myself spend anymore time with them right now.

Hey Advocado.

Seeing since you are Danish I believe there is a big chance that you are the advocado who briefly took me under his sc2 wing when I was still a hopeless bronzer. I always appreciated that.

When it comes to family I can relate well, I have parents who are either semi alcoholics or just fullblown ones. They aren't bad people per-say just seriously flawed people. My step dad hit my mother occasionally and was just a complete drunk who was never home and my mom was a loud miserable complainer who always nagged him, so that always lead to huge arguments. My step dad is like a child in an adult body who grew up in a probably bigger hell than I did, which explains why he is so fucked up. Him and I never really came to blows, I was too small and too intimidated, I did however get out of there as fast as I could. Today he is sick, probably from excess drinking which has led him to be weigh about 50 kg today, so I have nothing but pity left for him. I dunno why I am telling you this, but family issues like yours suck, especially when it revolves around people you love. I just think that it eases up once you realize that its not your job to save them from their horrid situation, all you can do is make sure that you don't live it on once/if you decided to make a family of your own one day.

With that, happy new years!

It really sucks man. The light at the tunnel is that you can start your own family one day and not make the same mistakes as your father.

Well it sounds like I got the better deal of the family bargain now. Nice to see you still around Jacob. Thanks for the support.

Everyone has their own problems in some way. I'm dealing with the same. My mom and I are the only ones that aren't bad shit crazy in our family. When I have my own family I don't want my family anywhere near my family but my mom. It's sad that I say that but its the truth.
My dream is to tear up your dream.

I disowned my family a year ago and haven't talked to anyone since. Best year of my life!
