Just got through a hurricane, spent a few days without power. Took until now to realize that my mom’s bf has more problems than I initially thought. I want to hate him due to all the terrible stuff he has done, but I also want to at least be his friend from all the good things he has done. Helped our family when we were poor, but is manipulative and abusive to everybody he meets, including myself and my mom and my brothers. Thing is, there was a time in our life when we had it rough and we needed somebody like him to help us survive by any means necessary. I mean, heck, there were times when I sacrificed eating for days so others could eat because we simply didn’t have the resources to be stable. We were financially screwed and damn near homeless. Thing is, he has always been a jealous individual and very envious, maybe even selfish. Ever since his accident, however, I think he just begun to lose his mind at a slow drip pace. Now, he lost his kid because his kid doesn’t have a conscience and would rather hang out with dope dealers than his pops. So, as much as I really want to strangle him, I simply cannot because why make his life worse, even though he is already trying to find a way to take all of our money and spend it on things we don’t need? See, he always threatens my brother and me with physical violence and manipulates and gaslights my mom, but at the same time, I get why he is bitter. I just don’t think it is fair to take it out on us because his life is bad. He is now selfish and does dumb things that could get us into trouble, such as stealing a generator worth more than a thousand dollars, used, all because we lost power for a day. That is grand theft and me and my mom are not about to take the fall for that. I’d have to say my mom’s boyfriend stole it, which he did. I get having to steal if you have no choice, but we didn’t need to steal, as we would have been fine for a night. Think the guy has given up, to be honest. I still think he’s a maggot.
