My dads lineage, I have to do more research on but- so the cajun side I talked about is his mothers side.
But I didn’t talk about his dads side. It’s hard to talk about it without people directly knowing who I am, because obviously this is the name I carry.
So it’s like eh how do I talk about this.
Basically my dad’s, side, is Scottish. Even that’s probably saying too much.
But that explains the freckles.
I know a lot more but I don’t know how to talk about it without yeah, it being too revealing hm.
But yeah, and so, after all of that lineage carries out which is secret :) my dad’s father, inherited a business, and then he owned it, and then he passed all of that onto my father and his brother.
My dad inherited, also, a trust fund, and, his name was very well known, in a certain place and because of that, he was treated very very well as a child- too well. His, entire life he was sort of, ‘important’ in his, time and place, so.
He could walk into a country club and was very well respected, and people knew him by name and his face, not just at these places but- in many places and, has led to a life of, VIP treatments, first class flights, and platinum cards and, luxury, clothing.
He has a very poor concept of, empathy or compassion for other people, and, lives in a strange deluded bubble of, self importance above ‘other’ people. He is very, very lazy. And has absolutely no idea how to treat other people- and has no respect for them. I’m being dead serious. No respect.
He got in trouble with the law when he was young a lot because no one taught him to adhere to the rules, his father always bailed him out of trouble pulling strings and funneling money. So he essentially thought he was above the law and could do whatever he wanted.
Everything has to be, “my way” with him, because no one ever really, told him otherwise he was just so spoiled like, no one reprimanded him or punished him. He just lived in this strange bubble of pure self indulgence.
So, he never learned not to do things that had serious repercussions, he was mean to other people, so so bad. He broke the law, he crashed many cars because it didn’t matter he’d just get another one. He didn’t have to work hard at anything because he inherited it all it was all just given to him and fell into his lap. He wore Ralph Lauren his entire life and golfed. Big ego, ass hole behavior, big spending, and lots of rule breaking and anger management problems.
He tried to make me golf.
I won’t lie, I’m not innocent here. I partly have inherited some of his behavior naturally, unwittingly. And life has had to teach me some things the hard way. I just thank god at least I’ve learned my lessons and I’ve been able to change behavior or grow from it.
I was given a very cushioned, spoiled, life- by him. But I was also, treated badly, and we never established a relationship. Because he was never around, and when he was, he was just causing problems. So naturally things just remain, distant.
There was sort of this sort of, “to much who is given, much is expected.” Attitude engrained in me, from my parents so, there was a lot of pressure to be, essentially perfect. I also had to behave, in a really respectful manner and, the way I dressed and acted all of it, was a representation of my family, in my community so.
I was just kind of quiet and kept a large part of myself secret, including, the fact I was gay.
I didn’t really know just how much I had, it took me years to sort of figure it out. I thought this was just normal life, but, as I’ve met more and more people down the line outside of my “bubble” I’ve come to realize majority of people dont’ live this way. And then down the line further I come to realize more and more, just how far from normal, the life I’ve been given truly is.
Knowing that I essentially, could do anything I wanted without financially being restricted is, a gift in and of itself. But it’s a double sided coin because, there was also this understanding that, I could do nothing and be fine.
I had to learn to find a balance in that. And I had to also learn, how to not put up with ass holes, like my dad, and how I was supposed to be treated by people. And I didn’t understand his behavior was considered abuse until later in life when it started to affect me mentally, it sort of sneaks up on you.
By the time you realize it, it’s kind of too late.
When I was 18 I wanted to just get out from it all and ran away with some guy who was nice to me. But he turned out to be just as abusive and controlling, and spoiled, as my father, in a way. And, ya know. Typical.
He got frustrated with the fact I wouldn’t have sex with him because, well, I’m gay and. Being the entitled pig-like, manipulative and violent spoiled, person he was, he decided to rape me, and beat me, and eventually tried to kill me. And then when I left him, he blacked mailed me.
So that’s, fun. And then yeah. I’ve kind of learned after that to be careful about how people treat you and, also learned a lot about mental health. After my life kind of spiraled out of control, being disowned and everything.
I just kinda had a lot going on and yeah all of that mentally broke me at a certain point.
