Me m(15) and my dad(38) were drinking around a fire last night and at first it was just silent then later into the night it was us trauma dumping to each other he was bringing up how his girlfriend is most likely cheating on him, how he was beaten when he was younger, his drug addiction, and one thing that stuck out to me was when he pointed at a tree and said “see that packer guy swinging from the tree sometimes I wish that would be me.” I didn’t know what to do and I started crying then he was telling me that he was so happy because I was here and he is sick and tired of being alone all of the time. He also got a nice new mustang and his girlfriend was like really you got that and not a truck just his life keeps on going downhill and I feel terrible I try to be there for him. I am happy I hung out with him last night because I feel like he would’ve harmed/committed if I wasn’t there.
