  • My father was a pervert towards my sisters, not only saying questionable sexual-related things but also on multiple occasions having very questionable physical contact with them (mostly this past year, though they have since told us that this sort of thing had happened earlier too on infrequent occasions, including when they were very young (they are still underage)). I don’t know the full details of this (I am unaware, for example, if anything happened that could be considered rape), and I was only aware of this after our mother became aware of it too, but we have cut contact with him when this came to light earlier this year; and given how deep a hole he’s dug for himself financially speaking (which also escalated to a breaking point this year) in the years following my parents’ separation, I don’t doubt that he is having the shitty time he deserves. I guess a slightly amusing thing in retrospect (in the fucked up way that any bit of this could even attempt being amusing) is that I remember him saying many years ago that when he was younger he considered becoming a catholic priest (which I always found strange since he isn’t religious, at least he wasn’t in the time I’ve been alive).

    Meanwhile my last psychiatrist was like “Yes you do show many symptoms of ASD, but I do not believe in the usefulness of the medical criteria of the DSM-5 [proceeds to speak about Freud for 5 minutes]”; from what I’ve heard Freud is still a massive problem for psychiatry in my country (France).


  • I fucking looked at a trashcan and said “THAT’S A BIT SPD”

    Most amazing sentence I’ve ever read. Anyways at least for me the EU elections have been an excuse to lecture my family members about how much of a hypocrite and a shitty human being Glucksmann is. Also for some reason my town has only now started to have posters that are not from either the communist party (why does the PCF have to be so watered-down uuugghhhh) or LFI, which I find funny given how right wing our mayor is…

    My condolences comrade, your father seemed like a great guy, I wish mine was even half as awesome as you portray yours here.

    Don’t beat yourself for not feeling the way you’re “supposed” to, it is perfectly normal to have the shock of losing him only impact you later on. I lost my grandmother earlier this month (in fact the funeral is today). I was unbelievably close to her since I live at her house and lived with her for the majority of my life; but despite this I didn’t cry during her illness while her health declined so quickly, I didn’t cry when she died… I only cried when her body was taken away (which was surprisingly late because of the shitty way home-hospitalisation is organised in France), but when I did it was the most I’ve ever cried in my life. All this to say, I feel you comrade.
