My Dad is 72 and My Mam is 70. She moved out in 1987 when she divorced my Dad. I've always kept in touch with her, going to see her once a week. I live with my Dad, it's just me and him.
All he does is moan and complain about everything ! It's hard to explain, but when I come in from work he will be either on the x box shouting at the screen complaining about the game or watching the television moaning about what is on. He usually watches sport and he calls the fresia out of anybody English. Football teams, cricket, golf, tennis. He is incredibly pessimistic, before every game he predicts 'our team' will lose. He goes to the shops, call fresia out of the shop, every advert on the TV, he says 'that's a pile of honeysuckle' and goes on this rant. He is bitter, cynical, can be nasty and at times it is so depressing being around him. We go and play golf and he moans all the time. We watch football, he complains about the team. It's non stop. And I can't say one thing to him, not one little, micro thing. If I do he sulks and won't talk for hours on end.
My Mam is worse. All she does is complain ! I go and see her every Monday night and all she goes on about is her 2 strokes she's had (complete fiction), all her other ailments, she is never happy, always making stories up about people breaking into her house or following her or ringing her up. She is the most selfish person I have ever known. I can't talk to her about anything, she just talks about herself. She argues with her neighbours, complains about not having enough money all the time. She is a nightmare. She rings me up and I feel this depression coming on. Moaning all the time ! I went to see her tonight and she started after 5 minutes making stories up, going on about her strokes, giving me honeysuckle and I walked out. I couldn't take it anymore. Of course she rang an hour later and her bloke said she was crying and was 'sorry' (Her neighbours told me last week that she had said to them my Dad was dying of cancer and she was glad !) - I told her I wasn't happy about what she said and she replied my Dad deserved it because of what he did. I said 'what ?' and she made this story up about my Dad telling my older brother not to bother with her which was completely made up.
I know parents are parents but I sometimes lose the will to live. I can't stand it anymore. Last year I nearly ended going to this bridge to jump off. I was so mad ! So sick of moaning and complaining all the time !
My Dad says I shouldn't bother with my Mam because she gets me mad and upset. I said I would go back and see her next week. I hate going because it is so depressing. At the moment my Dad is watching the women's football and shouting at the top of his voice ! I feel like saying 'does it matter ?'
I sometimes dream of disappearing and living by myself, so I don't have to listen to all this crap !
