christmas sucks because of my dad

i cant get a job because my passport expired and we can't afford the £75 for a new one. my dad doesnt pay for my food. my mum does. he doesn't pay for my clothes. my mum does. my mum pays for literally everything. what am i supposed to be grateful to him for? for neglecting us financially while he buys himself stupid expensive shit he doesn't need? for not paying the mortgage so we're losing our house and having to move out of the town because we can't even afford another house here? for putting us in such a shitty position that for a while we weren't sure i could even afford to go to university? grateful for fucking what??? a lifetime of instability??? i'm sick and tired of the rhetoric that we HAVE to be grateful to our parents for doing the bare minimum. he doesn't even do the bare minimum. forgive me for being upset watching my friends and their families have nice christmases and birthdays while we're thinking about losing our house.
