Anyone else’s parents not abusive but just a bit shit?

[IAmAlwaysLikeThis]

Came back for first Christmas in ages.

My dad has spoken about 10 words to me (glued to the tv, as he has been since I was a child.)

My mum is fine for two or so days, then starts to get snappy and make withering (and what she thinks are witty) putdowns (don’t actually bother me on any level, I’m thick skinned but just irritating.)

They live in the middle of nowhere, all my friends have long since moved so no one to escape with.

Any time I try to escape to shop/go for a walk, it’s ‘we’ll come’ but all they do is moan and bitch about other people (their appearances/behaviour/perceived sliggts.)

They never show any affection/fondness/love, not for me nor for each other.

I’m here for another three days (alone) and just want to scream already.

Do you WANT to stay there? Could you invent an emergency at home? Leaking pipes, hole in roof etc?

What Elf said. That or hit the gin. Make sure you don't go again next year.

elf too far away for that, sadly.
felix will never be coming here alone ever again. Ever.
