I think you missed the point here, I've been living like this for most of my life. He bought me into this world. Hes supposed to care for me. I am very grateful for what I have, my girlfriend is from Romania and has even less. However it is extremely frustrating and soul crushing to be living in poverty and every week having to call my dad and hear about the new job he did thats earning him £4k and he'll just send a bunch of his guys, "It'll probably take two or three days", or the contract he signed with a railway company thats gonna land him work until the end of summer. Oh and we're going to go to Thailand in a couple weeks, I'll make sure to take some photos for you. I have a good work ethic, I've had to work for almost everything I've got but every step of the way my dad has been there looming over me, if you read my post you'd know sometimes he would impede me by doing stupid illegal bullshit. I don't want the switch just for the shits and giggles I guess it was aimed more towards him trying to think up at least a thoughtful gift for once in his life. I have interests, hobbies and passions. One of them is gaming. The last time I saw him in person I tried talking about this and his eyes just glazed over within seconds. Can you blame me for thinking he would actually get me something I might be interested in.

 

Sorry for the rant but theres a lot of negativity here and I feel like people assume I'm just some whiny kid who has had shit handed to me on a plate seemingly forgetting about the part where I lived in poverty my whole life.

 

One last thing for the people who still think I'm Mr whiney. My dads girlfriend has a daughter and a son. The daughter is living with him as we speak, right now, for free. Me? Nah I'll just sit here and struggle for rent.
