Anyone else want to vent about their crappy dads?

I will just vent along with your vent since they're both heroin related. It might be long but I've been wanting to just go off about this for a while now.

My dad has made a living selling drugs almost the entirety of my life. It was always small game, like weed, and he took pills and drank everyday. But then after my mom died, it got so much worse. He got with a junkie a few months younger than me (and I'm his youngest daughter) and started slinging heroin. Then he got in a bar fight and stabbed a guy while already on probation for selling weed. So they went on the run. Eventually of course it all catches up, and they get busted. While my fucking niece and nephew are visiting and they had to be held by CPS for hours :(

Both of them went to jail, then my sister died shortly after. I was 26 and the only person left in my family, planning and taking on debt for a funeral. I've never been so alone in my life. Dad from prison makes me sell the property he put in my name as I was a child so that it couldn't be confiscated. To get him a lawyer. I should have had the strength to say this new debt will ruin me and used the money to pay for the funeral, but he was my only family left so I did it. The lawyer never stepped in court, dad got off with a year in prison because the evidence was being used by arresting officer. All this time he was begging me constantly to send him money and stuff putting me further in the hole.

Dad gets out after his incredibly lucky short sentence and goes back to the same bullshit. I saw him a few times in the following few years, despite living close. He was always too busy to come visit me or niece and nephew, although I worked full time+ and his "busy" is just waiting in deals from home.

Never once during this time did he try to do anything to make up for all the hell we went through during this fiasco. My mom and sister don't have gravestones, but he sure can afford heroin for him and his gf to pump in their bodies. And I'm still financially destroyed by this debt, and see no end in sight.

Ugh, sorry for the lengthy post!
