My dad taught me you can't rely on people

never say never

not much really

never do something tomorrow that you can do today

don't trust anyone not even family. You truly can't rely on anyone but yourself.


Both of my parents were extreme alcoholics, drinking 1-3 handles of vodka a day, so they didn't really teach me shit

probably from my Uncle (father figure)
The true strength of a man lies in his ability to make friends with his enemies.
In doing so you will lose an enemy and gain a friend

Yea shit sucks my dad taught me not to rely on people by calling me and saying he would be coming to visit on X day so I would literally go sit on the street corner and wait from the time I woke up tell it got dark out only going home to use the bathroom and grab a sandwich that I would eat as I was running back to the corner to wait for him. He showed up 1 time out of countless times he would call same thing every time fucking story makes me cry to think about. A 7-8 year old kid shouldn't have to walk home crying and ask his mom "why didn't dad show up?" And get a call the next day saying "sorry I didn't make it something came up I promise I'll make it next month"

My father taught me how not to be when I become a father.

oh i love these kind of threads pinned
