Daddy Issues

What hurts is you never tried? You said you would and you lied to the rest of our family that you would but that claim never came true. 

I don’t understand the big joke. What's so funny? Look around, you are the only one laughing.

Did you plan my life this way? Did you plan to be there but not fully there until I was so sure you truly were going to come back, and then you vanished? Hilarious!

What about leaving my mom to fend for herself against the world why you were dragging your ass through jail and drugs?

Then at once, since she no longer feels bad for you and you have “acquired” money; you refuse to pay a little bit of that so maybe I could get some clothes for junior year. 

Then you have the audacity to tell me who I should be and what I should wear? Moreover, I would be a “bad person” to be anything slightly different than what you think I should be. Some “Christian” you are.

I’ll never forget one of your shining moments when you told me in the car that one time, “you can never date another girl or a black man.” 

Well, dad, I've dated both, is your joke as funny now?
