My dad died when I was young so I don’t really remember him much. However the things my mum spoke about tonight when discussing their relationship blew me!! He did nothing!!!! He was an actual dick to her!!! She did everything for him. When she said he left her for 4hrs on a family occasion without any money or a drink yet he was buying his friends drinks all night. It made me angry. Or that he wouldn’t buy her anything nice for special occasion. Buying her irons for Christmas too. Or packing and unpacking his cases when he couldn’t decide on going away. He couldn’t do it himself apparently 🙄 I asked her how she put up with him and why she did so much. But she has him painted gold still.
My mum is/was a massive pick meisha!!! Looking back all I remember her doing is cleaning and looking after my dad. She was too tired to play games with us. Funny how we only just figure things out after so long ha!
I'm so sorry to hear this. I can relate because my dad also died when I was young and he was not a good husband. At all. I found out recently that when my mum was pregnant with me, he refused to go to any of the doctors' appointments with her. She turned up to every single one alone. I was so shocked to hear this? If this had happened to me I would have been so angry. And honestly that was just a sign of worse to come. It helps me to learn and grow from it by using my parents' relationship as a guide for what I don't want in the future.
Oh wow! I’m so sorry! Samesies?? My dad also died when I was young and was always on a pedestal because, you know, dead guy. He also was a shitty husband and I’m only just now finding out. I’m so sorry, it can really rock your world view.
