Disappointed.

[TheOriginalJames]

Since I'm a fucking idiot when it comes to somethings, I asked my dad if he'd stop by and show me how to fix the toilet that keeps running. Turns out it just needed to be adjusted slightly to keep it from overfilling the fill tube in the tank.

Well as he walked in and we went upstairs, brian comes out of his room and goes hey. How are you?

My dad says "Drunk"



I dunno, shit just started going through my head. He has to drive 3 blocks to get home and everything in my brain says please let him get home safe... but... why would the guy who was on the city council in charge of the fire and police departments for 12 years, the guy who ran for mayor, the guy who has two successful businesses with a 3rd one on the way, drive under the influence?

My parents are my rock. I don't know.

I wish he'd just have gone home and worried about my dumbass and this toilet when he was sober.

 

[COOL_BREEZE2]

Sure he wasn't kidding?

Assuming Brian is a kid seems like an inappropriate response tho.

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I'm 25 and Brian is older than me, goes by BodyDroppedNikes on here.

I know he wasn't kidding, he wouldn't joke about that and he spent all night after work at Racks. (bar next to our office)

 

[Kat]

why not call him if youre worried?

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I'm not worried about him, I'm not shocked that he drives while drunk, I'm just disappointed that he'd throw it out there like that. My brother can read him like a book, but without him telling me he's drunk I would have never known.

 

[Kat]

eh when youre older parents dont try to hide so much anymore...its the way my mom is too now

 

[Veronica]

some people are idiots! Hopefully he got home safe.

 

[Peter Parka]

My dad drinks and drives too but what can you do? It is worrying though, I kind of wish he'd get pulled over and breathalised one day so that he'll loose his license and not be able to put his and other peoples lives at risk.

 

[Tim]

Just because they are your parents, doesn't mean you can't lay into them when they are doing stupid. Maybe if you questioned him on doing something so stupid, he would think about that conversation the next time he drinks.

Saying nothing is condoning the action.

Tell him exactly what you told us James.
What he is doing is wrong.
I hope he listens. If he doesn't you are no worse off than you are now with the situation.

 

[Suzie]

I hope he got there safe...and I hope noone was harmed in the process of him driving home.

 

[Homer]

i feel for you James he shouldn't put that on you like that.

Wow, sounds like your Dad is rather accomplished James. I would be proud to be his son. Maybe your Dads going through something. You guys talk alot?

 

[TheOriginalJames]

He got home fine. I have no doubts in his abilities to drive even drunk, but I don't know. I just don't like it when he knows better and blatantly does things like that.

I don't really talk with him a lot because I can never figure out how to talk to him. I've always been able to talk to my mom more.

 

[Boomer]

Ask yer mom if somethin is up dood.
