My father and I are plumbers and we had the pleasure of working in this wonderful abode, it smells just like it looks.

I dont have it very bad, by my parents are pretty nutty... the house isnt... hoarder nasty... but my dad never finishes anyting he starts. I'm 27 now and havent had a sink or mirror in the bathroom since i was 16. there was about 5 years or so where the ballroom wall was knocked down and a hole in the floor (unfinished projects) so my old room was connected to the bathroom. My dresser drawer was still in the old room and I took it out the other day and cleaned a bunch of mold off it. there's mold at the told of the ceiling and corners. at some point the tub/shower tiles were falling off so my dad put up vinyl sheets which remain there today. for at least a year something happpened to the shower nozzle up top so my dads solution was take the tub nozzle off and replace it with the show nozzle (I took showers sitting with the shower spray coming from the tub nozzle)...about 3 years ago my dad put the wall back up and fixed the floor because my niece was born. after those fixes he never tiled or painted.... so currently the new dry wall is getting moldy and the vinyl shower walls are still there.

along with that there a 15 year all empty room that never got finished, every window in the house is bare i with no trim...

all he does is watch racist and homophobic religious stuff on youtube (churchmilitant.com or something like that)

It's such a mind fuck that im still here. He was better as an aloholic than a religious nut. both my parents are very like... passive aggressive or something... so its like i feel guilty if i call them out on something. either way a couple years ago I decided they arent shit, and there is nothing to learn from them. I have a year and half to get an associates in graphic design and once i get a job off that im done with them. and I leave while telling them how rotted their souls are. I actually already tell them that sometimes but they don't get it. they don't understand how to help themselves.. just blame people and not try. but at the same time my dad is a well adjusted person to his friends and church.

since ive been about 18.... my adrenaline and anxiety has been insane... all I want is a job that can pay for my own apartment and now a psychiatrist. I busted my ass for 10 years at a supermarket job and they cut my pay from 12.88 to 9.24 when I went to part time to go to school. It amazes me how clueless the "common american" is to this reality.

its crazy being 27 and feeling like a 13 year kid in a broken home.
