my boomer dad never taught me basic shit like how to throw a punch, how to shave my face, how to dress for success with women or for a job interview. he was so disinterested in parenting that my mom divorced him, but due to his boomer selfishness, he insisted on custody for 3.5 days of the week--meaning weekends, wednesdays and tuesday evenings, which went away when he realized he would have to come to my mom's house, she got the house, instead of us somehow commuting to his house for 3 hours. through high school, me and my brother would commute to his house saturday, come home monday, and also on wednesdays. this lack of permanence and feeling that i was a possession of my parents to be passed around really fucked me up in profound ways that i am still working to fix today as a 38 year old uber driver.
