>Dad asks me if I want anything from the grocery store>yea chicken breasts, heavy cream, mushrooms, [spices]>"okay cool">he leaves for the grocery store>"actually I'm just gonna get some beer and go again tomorrow"he's not going again tomorrow. He never goes anywhere unless he needs more alcohol or he needs to send some mail.I drink too, but he's completely fucking useless. Completely nonfunctional alcoholic.I think he's really depressed. I wish he would get some help....
>>83680375That is really bad. I usually stop talking to people who act like that, so I don't know how you would approach it if it's your Dad behaving that way.
im sorry bochster im doing my best. you're also a shitty cook and don't know how to use the firepit, hence why it's not even a viral image
>>83680396all he does is get drunk and watch Fox New and scroll blogs and webcomics. He listens to music really loud sometimes but even that he hasn't been doing nearly at all anymore, which is depressing it was like the one thing he's passionate about (other than hating liberals and trannies). Sits in his fucking recliner all day, sleeps in his recliner, then complains that his joints hurt I'm like >Because you never move!!!! a body in motion...and it makes it very hard for me to stay sober and get my life together when he is drunk all the time. I need to get the fuck out of hereAlso he is emotionally dependent on me, always asks where I'm going when I'm simply leaving the room. I cook all the food, I do most of the cleaning and chores, he's really fucking useless and it hurts to watch.Sometimes I wish his heart would finally give out so I could be set free from him....
>>83680375>going on a beer run>nice enough to ask if anyone needs anything>get given a full grocery listYou know he would have actually bought you a couple things if you kept it simple.
>>83680504>You know he would have actually bought you a couple things if you kept it simple.he literally had his own list of 20 things already.I added 4 items.I have done ALL the grocery shopping for the last 3 months, and I do ALL the cooking.
Update: he actually did end up getting 3 things from his list and one thing from my list... So I guess he's not completely useless. But why not just complete both lists while you're there? would be a lot more efficient.
>>83680901Not your father obviously, but there are times I'm out and something unexplainable happens where I just have to cut everything short and leave. Like fatigue or dizziness or something.
>>83681507he texted me that he was only getting the beer before he even arrived at the store lol. He's just depressed/lazy. he has never had any anxiety in his life. I guess he is getting old but if he exercised more he wouldn't feel so old. He lives a lot like the Wall-E people do lmao.
>>83681534Have you tried talking to him about the depressed thing? Or about getting sober? You could do it together.
>>83681507That's completely normal and you shouldn't see a doctor about it.
>>83681558he says so himself he needs help. I go off an on from being sober and he always apologizes for being a bad influence. and anytime you tell him he should do something he's like "yup..."and then never does it.
>>83681603>>83681558>dad you really should quit drinking, you get absolutely nothing done yup....>dad you really need to do some exercise if you want to live a long timeyeah....
>>836805044 things is not a lot. You're really telling on yourself here.
>>83681507>Gets tired or dizzy>Pauses any activity dead in its tracks and goes homeHow are you even alive? I assume you're unemployed because there's no way you could maintain a job like that.
>>83681584Yeah I know that's why I don't.>>83681603You don't tell him to do something. You have to force it. I.e. instead of telling him to exercise, you invite him on a hike. Words are empty. >>83682248It doesn't happen that often. When it happened at my job I would just take a break for it to pass (~10 minutes). I'm not going to take a break from shopping though I'll just continue it another day.
>>83682617>you invite him on a hike. Words are empty.I have tried. He would pass or wanna go back after walking 1000 ft. Sometimes me literally yelling at him to do something right now will get him off his ass.But it's not my job to be his nagging bitch wife and even my own mother (who left him for being loud, drunk, verbally abusive and useless) says he us dragging me down with him. He is so pathetic and my house is in such bad shape because he is a hoarder (a mild one but bad enough to be embarassing) that I am ashamed to have any women over. My last gf never saw the inside of my house and I think it put a strain on the relationship.I think I am just gonna join the military and tell him to hire a caretaker because it's not my job anymore
>>83683003>I think I am just gonna join the military and tell him to hire a caretaker because it's not my job anymoreYou literally just have to do something drastic like this. You need to get out of that house before he ruins your life like he's ruining his.
>>83680375Lol I remember when I was a kid my dad would send me on errands to get beer and when we moved to Canada where they didn't let fucking 9 year olds buy a dozen beers he got pissed off and beat me and kept demanding until he took me to the store and humiliated himself when he found out that kids literally could not buy beer after he quit he just send me on errands to get 12 packs of diet coke instead which he would pound the same wayWhat is it about alcohol that turns people into low IQ/low inhib retards thanks for reminding me of my own shitty father (at least he quit, still a shitty person though)
>>83680901Go out with him next time, good for you both to stop being drunkards
>>83680375It's called Instacart
>>83680375>I drink too, but he's completely fucking useless. Completely nonfunctional alcoholic.Remind me of how useful you are.Also, who pays for all this?Alright, I scrolled down.Now I scrolled down even further.We probably should do a triage thing, let's say, who's closest to suicide of everyone involved?
