A short note about the men in my life

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

This is picking up from my other myTake Short letter to the women in my life

and I'm genuinely a bit taken aback that I didn't foresee it'd be more positive than I thought. Maybe it's because they are much fewer and didn't screw up as much as the women like my mother and my sister.

- my father

Frankly, the more time passes the more I realize why he left us and made himself another family. All the man was after was to build up a business, make up something good, and the kind of woman and children he had along were putting a halt to that. Unfortunate.

But it's with the costant thought of that wonderful man that I feel inspired in building up my own business. And since we've already took note his other son, my half-brother, is completely incapable to run what he should inherit, I'm pretty satisfied he recognized my potential. And don't worry, once the old man will have passed away I'll take care of his wife and my half-brother, I totally won't leave them with nothing to their name.

- M., my ex stepfather

I've got nothing but good memories about him. He really loved my mother and me and my sisters as well. Sadly my mother wasn't capable to properly return his feelings and just used him. She didn't deserve him. She couldn't even deign herself to smile in that picture at my Communion. He was smiling and very happy, I was smiling and very happy, she was the only one with a perpetual b*tch face on. Same exact face she made in every pictures with me, or him, or my father. Go and get screwed by some grandpa like you liked to and don't bother to come along if you have to make that face, dumb b*tch.

I'd say that's enough. Sadly I don't have much male figures in my life growing up, but maybe that'll change.
Thanks for reading!

Oof you just roasted every women in your life in that one. If it were me I would think about my mothers happiness too. It isn't her fault she didn't love him back. Maybe she felt horrible about it. And I can't believe you look up to a man that left your family to survive on their own. If anything I would feel horrible to be you. Your mother tried her best to give you a father figure and the first one ran away and the second one didn't have that spark. And yet you insult her. Just sexist. Sexist and sad.

As I said, I'm being ironic.
I hate that bastard who is my father more than I hate my mom, and she did the same to me. But my father has this glaring advantage that once he'll be dead I'm getting his money and property, while my mother doesn't have anything but debts. Debts she contracted on her own and for her own vices, not surely to raise me. But at least I don't want her dead, while if my father died I'd just celebrate.
That said, I won't support my mother's vices. She constantly ignored, snobbed and belittled me.
I don't owe her anything.

You love and admire your dad, despite the fact that he left you, because you see it as inspiring and you recognise you were a hinderence. If your mum did the same, you'd probably hate her. I hope you recognise the sexism and misogyny there.

Actually I'm being ironic, I hate the bastard more than I hate my mom, and she did the same to me. But my father has this glaring advantage that once he'll be dead I'm getting his money and property, while my mother doesn't have anything but debts. Debts she contracted on her own and for her own vices, not surely to raise me. But at least I don't want her dead, while if my father died I'd just celebrate.

Hm okay, that makes sense then. I feel for you dude, you haven't had an easy life. I hope it gets easier for you

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Thanks.
Still, once I'll be in the position, I'll give some of that to my mother as well. She doesn't deserve anything from me, but my father still ruined her life so it'll be like a compensation from him.

*some of the inheritance

That's considerate of you.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

More than considerate, it's fair.
I won't deny her what it's her right

That point out , a bad patner is pain in the Ass. This is a reason or two why many dreams , aspirations, visions die before hatching out. For men we struggle with many things only later to be enjoined to careless patners. I mean not to offend either but a support is always a better thing for a family to run and develop.

Are you calling the man that abandoned you and your mom 'wonderful'?
I hope you are being ironic...
