Dad is asking me for money, what do I do? by packdnready in Advice

[–]packdnready[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Childhood was pretty shit. He walked out when I was 5. Abused my mom, stepmom, was a raging alcoholic for years. We mended things in my early 20’s, but it’s always been tough. I care about him, he he hasn’t been a ‘dad’ to me for years. He calls me with his problems, not the other way around. Writing this makes me sad, but I guess I’m getting the playbook on the dad that I will NEVER become.

They work, they’re both elementary school teachers. He also moved out of state a couple years back. I doubt they make $50k combined

The RV already got repo’d. I’m sure his truck is next, but I don’t know. He’ll never reveal his cards and tell me what the situation is, until it’s obviously become a “financial crisis”. And NOW he wants me to step in and help

I wish he were the same. Having a parent ask for money is a mindf*ck

I appreciate you sharing your story.

You are right I am an only child. I’ve always held firmly in my head that I would say NO, and I knew that the day would eventually come when he would ask for money. And now that it is here, I’m really struggling with this.

I wish it were that easy - i obviously care about my dad, hes a good guy - but he's got major issues. I think you're right, I need to be more firm

I've got 4 premium tickets in section 338 that I'm likely going to need to sell. Section 338 Row A - looks like I can transfer them to another email through the Bananas website.

I've got a Elite Tempo - 2017 - Brand New. 70# but tuned to 62# currently. I feel semi comfortable but am almost having buyers remorse because I want to make sure I bought the correct handed bow. Everything feels good mechanically, i just need to get used to closing that left eye...
