I'm contemplating the act of confronting my father in 5 days, but I wonder if doing this will somehow backfire. Of course it would be hard to make an opinion with out the helpful hand of information. So here's what I believe to be the relevant details. I live alone, but my dad lives in the same apartment complex(not creepy...). The only thing you really need to know about him is 2 things: he's truly/amazingly/nauseatingly pathetic, and his unmatched negativity will drive you insane. I decided to take a 2 week period to see what difference it would make. Naturally, it's improved. The 2 week "vacation" is up in 5 days. This scares me. The point of this "vacation" was to see if I would gain the power of motivation if he wasn't there. I'm afraid if things go back to the way they used to be, that life will consist solely of steadily increasing misery, until death gives me a french kiss. I am/was(not sure which as of now) in the process of trying to find a therapist. I went though a small agency in our town, but thus far I question their reliability(long story). If I find a therapist, it won't be soon. I have this strong feeling it's now or never. Am I wrong? Are my instincts telling me the right thing to do? Or is it misguided emotions? Good advice is worth more than gold, at this moment.
