Yes, my dad is a big asshole, and has been for the majority of my life.
He’s always a dickhead when he’s drunk, and says the most outrageous things to me, such as that he doesn’t consider me as a daughter anymore, because I never visit him.
The next day, he’ll be a “sweetheart” (it’s all fake, because I know what he’s REALLY like). He blames it on the mini-stokes he’s been having, and that that’s affecting his memory, so he can’t remember what he’s done when he’s not sober.
To me, that’s a bunch of crap. He either knows exactly what he’s done, or if he really DOES have a bad memory, it’s because of the 35+ years of hard drinking.
It’s so hard to stay mad at someone who “doesn’t remember” what they’ve done, and therefor feel no remorse.
One day, I’ll tell him how I REALLY feel, and not act nice after I’ve done it.
If he “forgets” what I’ve said, I’ll just remind him, as many times as it takes.
