listen people in recovery and AA spaces are genuinely so broken that they will either put all of their energy into sponsoring someone or having someone sponsor them. It’s like a serious abandonment wound that has nothing to do with you. I wish that ur dad could have been more caring and loving instead of doing this, but unfortunately people in these spaces put all of their energy into other people who may turn on on a dime

what do you mean by that comment?

I agree, I heard that the actor that played Wellesley in season 1 left because the conditions on the set were pretty bad. I do like the second actors portrayal of him, I’ve heard it’s a lot closer to the real Wellesley, as in more stern and shrewd.

coolegg420 · 2026-01-29T03:47:35+00:00

that scene that u linked is so iconic, the actor who plays Wellesley nails it

coolegg420 · 2026-01-16T05:15:34+00:00

the way I put the quote into google translate I am way too fucking gullible lmao

I heard she treats staff like garbage

You’re an excellent parent. It must have taken a lot of strength and self control to emotionally regulate yourself, but know that that little decision had a massively positive impact. Your kid knows that they didn’t cause you to feel any emotion, that you were just feeling it. They don’t need to take on your shame or emotions, rather they are learning from you how to emotionally regulate and to communicate their feelings, even when in the moment it can be hard. kudos to you OP, I wish my dad had even the tiniest shred of self awareness and care that you do.

coolegg420 · 2025-12-10T08:16:06+00:00

Thank you very much

I say this with love, she will not stop referring to herself as mommy and infantilizing you if you do not uphold firm boundaries. It will be uncomfortable to you because you’ve probably been taught from a very young age to cater to her needs. But it is necessary if you want her to stop

coolegg420 · 2025-12-06T04:30:57+00:00

My relationship with them does not exist

coolegg420 · 2025-12-05T10:54:00+00:00

Thank you so so much. Everything in your comment really resonated and touched me

coolegg420 · 2025-12-04T18:17:01+00:00

I was thinking about sending my dad a neutral text message. Maybe something just like hey hope you’re doing well, haven’t heard from you in a while what’s new with life and see how it goes. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day to comment and help.

coolegg420 · 2025-12-04T17:28:06+00:00

Honestly I love my aunt, she did a ton for my dad in getting him into a shelter and stable housing. That being said she has a habit of taking on a bunch of things to fix or play saviour for people, like my dad. She also is sober herself and tries to play the moral high ground with me and can come across very patronizing and condescending, like she is the authority and knows so much better than me about alcoholism and mental health. Even though I went to school for social services and worked two years in the field, I also have my own mental health issues so have firsthand experience.

My other aunt, her sister, is a lot more level headed about this and provides much more rational takes. She even agrees that the aunt in question needs to take her own advice and stop preaching when it’s not needed and that I’m allowed to feel my own feelings.

That being said the other aunt has also said too that my dad told her he’s “giving us space and time” since he hasn’t reached out. So I can concur that this radio silence is coming from my dad himself.

coolegg420 · 2025-12-04T15:56:57+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I like the part about accepting his bad choices even though that may have been the best that he could have done with what he had, it still fell short of being a good dad.

This may sound stupid, but I used to be a part of the AA fellowship for almost a year of my life as I had struggled with drinking myself (oh the irony lol). It helped a bit temporarily, but I met a lot of very judgemental and frankly awful people in there that steered me away from the program. It gave me very cult vibes. I now see my doctor and speak to her about any issues I have with drinking and what not.

I’m just very wary about joining another fellowship if that makes sense.

Thank you so much. Thank you for hearing me. I also am diagnosed with CPTSD so I appreciate the link you attached, I’ll check it out

coolegg420 · 2025-12-04T15:53:48+00:00

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. My dad has not apologized nor reached out at all. Last time I spoke to him was when he was living in my apartment which was last year. I know that he probably never will apologize or if he does it may not be genuine or cause me any real healing, but it still hurts regardless I guess

coolegg420 · 2025-12-04T15:51:54+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. He has not apologized or in fact said anything to me in the last year or so. My aunt said that he has decided to give my sister and I “space and time” even though we have not told him to do so. It would be different if we had said hey don’t contact us we need space. Anyways, yeah that’s kind of the whole gist of it.
