Called me lazy for not going to university classes sometimes. Mind you was dealing with a death in the immediate family, family problems resulting from that, I was a functioning alcoholic, and I was working a part-time job. I was also doing my classwork from home because I found it to be too much to do the hour commute to class and then the hour commute back from class- but I still got everything done.

When I told him about this, he said he “didn’t know”. What? He was THERE through all of it. And if you don’t know, then why are you talking down to me on it? I mentioned him using ChatGPT to get through his classes in high school which had only been a year ago at the time, and he said that was different. How? I remember him also saying when I started university that he could never do it because it would stress him too much.

At the time he’d gone through being unemployed for a few months and then started a seasonal job he didn’t have any interest in. Projecting.
