Am so tired of the drunk texts
Hey yall, I just need to vent this cause it’s really dragging me down. My father is an alcoholic and will often text me late at night when he’s been heavily drinking. The subject is always the same: He resents the mistakes he’s made and says how much of a messup he is and how much he loves me and all. Sometimes these messages are very concerning to the point where I think he’s suicidal, and after I tell him this he assures me he’s fine and he apologizes. This must happen 2-3 times a week and everytime I feel this weight that I need to talk him out of it, whether he actually is or not (likely not).
Like what gives? I’m 23 years old, not even living in the same city anymore, why do I have to take this on?? I’ve done what I can with him, I’ve taught him to itemize his good qualities, I adopted him a kitten, all this stuff. I don’t know why he has to come to me as if i have relevant life advice, i definitely don’t. Ughhhh.
Sorry. Glad I could release some of this tension and hopefully someone here can relate just a little haha.
