God, but I'm tired

[mousme]

Had lunch with the Paternal Unit again, and listened to more badgering about my finances for an hour and a bit. It's become a daily thing now, ever since he discovered that I'd miscalculated my finances for last month. I have the duty and honour now to listen to him tell me how much I suck every day of the week, several times a day usually.

He also seems to expect me, within a span of less than 24 horus each time, to come up with a solution to all my problems that will satisfy him. When I don't he tells me to "stop acting like a baby" and grow up. Easier said than done when he talks to me like a five-year-old.

I'm not sure what to do. Part of me wants to tell him to shove it, that I don't want his help or his money anymore, and to go get a loan somewhere to tide me over until I can get a job. Then I could happily cut off ties with both my parents, since dealing with them every day makes me want to perform hara kiri with a wooden spoon. Problem is, I have no idea how that's supposed to work. Besides, no bank in their right mind would ever give me a loan since I have no job.

Christ, what a mess.

I work in the same building as him. V. hard to tell him I just don't want to have lunch with him without engendering another psychodrama, because then he'll just tell me I'm acting like a baby again and to "get off the pot" (his favourite expression) and act like an adult.

:P

You know that expression about the rock and a hard place? With me it's more like I'm caught between the asphalt and a steam roller.

You could always tell him you have to work hard over lunch hour and would rather do that so that you can bring in that money you need. He can't really bitch you out for that. Well, logically speaking, neeway...

I guess it's worth a shot. He'll see right through me, of course, or else tell me not to be stupid and to come along.

*sigh*

Am trying not to be melodramatic or put-upon, and it's not working. ;)
