My dad needs therapy and me and my sisters all know it. His mom knows it too but he won’t go bc he thinks he doesn’t need to.

He has attachment issues. All my sisters have moved out and i want to as well bc I’m an adult but I’m the youngest and the last to leave so every time i mention it he tries to convince me not to or he tries to get me to move within like ten minutes of him and says he’ll pay for everything

I’m literally an adult and i get that he’s a parent and they get emotional when their kids move out but I’m just like Dude you can’t hold on to me FOREVER i am in my twenties!

If he had it his way all of my sisters would stay at home until we’re married. One of my sisters is (she’s 27, my oldest is 29 and the others are both 24)

That sister had a baby recently and my dad wants to make a whole room in his house for her (the baby)...which is weird considering she was literally like JUST born and doesn’t even live in the same state as him

It kinda made me sad bc earlier today he got a bed from his moms house and was saying that he wants to put it in my nieces room and then asked if i wanted to keep it as an extra bed for my room in case i have sleepovers...even though I’ve told him repeatedly as soon as i find a job I’m moving out!

Me and my sisters are convinced he’s obsessed with having someone who can depend on him. He’s not married either (my parents are divorced, and then he’s separated from my stepmom and honestly idk if they’ll ever be together again) if that makes more sense. He wants to move into a really big house and says so that there’s enough space for all of me and my sisters (and for my niece) which is so bizarre bc my sisters NEVER come home except for like holidays. So it’s just odd to us that he has this little fantasy that we’re all gonna come back home one day to be with him

But that’s not the case. And he’s about to go spend all this money on this big house and he’s going to be all by himself waiting for his (adult) children to come home and it just makes me kinda sad bc i know that’s not going to happen
