      TBH my dad dying was one of the best things that ever happened to me. my life massively improved after he was gone.

      on his fucking deathbed, hours before be passed, he told me how disappointed he was in me for not being a football player. literally the only thing he ever fucking cared about. think about what a raging cunt of a human being he was to do that. he didn’t love me or was proud of me. his kid who went from a uneducated family to a nearly full ride at fucking Harvard, who got a graduate degree, who worked in prestigious institutions, etc. No, none of that matter. all that mattered was his bitterness towards me that i didn’t play football in high school and college for 8 years of my life…

      i’m just glad he died before he could vote for Trump. he was MAGA before MAGA was a thing.

        Those achievements sound impressive, and I’m proud of you. I know it’s not nearly the same to read it from me - a random fediverse stranger - as it would it to heard it from him, but I still want to say it. Also glad to know things got better for you.
