When she realized that her useless Dad was up to his old tricks, she allowed him one more con, but this time, she had a final trick up her own sleeve.
A Neglectful Relationship
The incident revolves around a homeless man who is, technically, the woman’s father. During her early years, from ages 0 to 7, her father was an active part of her life, but he left her with a significant amount of emotional trauma.
A Complicated Man
He could be very abusive, both mentally and physically, and that made home life a difficult place. Her Mom often had bruises, and she, too, was caught by his hand on the odd occasion. But he’d often be very sad, desperate to apologize to them. It was very complex and confusing.
A Violent Drunk
He was a manipulative and hardcore alcoholic who had numerous other negative qualities. The alcoholism was a full-time issue in itself. She has many memories of loud arguments, spiteful remarks, and general bad behavior.
Occasional Visits
After her incredible mother made the bold decision to leave him, they had brief stints where they spent weekends at his place. She never wanted to go, but he always said he’d make the effort, so she felt she had to at least try.
Materialistic Motives
These visits were a never-ending cycle of him drinking, behaving atrociously, and then trying to win them over with gifts and pets. His attitude was much the same, but then he’d soften the blow with an expensive gift.
A Wanted Man
Her father, plagued by several DUIs, unpaid child support, and child endangerment cases, disappeared one day to avoid going to jail. It didn’t surprise any of them, but it was still upsetting.
Escaping the Law
His escape was nothing short of a vanishing act; he literally abandoned the animals, left his home, and shut off his phone so that no one could contact him. It was a long time before anyone heard from him after that.
Emotional Void
At times, every few months or so, he would reappear in her life, showing up at her school, intoxicated and tearful, bearing armfuls of gifts that he wanted her to have. It was as though he had no concept of what he’d done to her emotionally.
Kidnapping Fear
He even left notes on their front door, and they’d find them when they got home. These situations became so concerning that her school had to implement a safety plan because her mother was genuinely afraid he might try to take her away.
A New Chapter
After some time, his sporadic appearances ceased, and they didn’t hear from him for approximately thirteen years. During that time, she did a lot of soul healing and started to rebuild her life without him in it.
A Sudden Proposal
At the age of 20, he contacted her through Facebook, expressing a desire to get to know her better and asking if she needed financial assistance. It was a blow, as she finally believed she’d escaped her difficult past.
A Case of Morals
Initially, her response was a mixture of anger, nausea, and tears. She was broke at the time and could genuinely use the money. Besides, he owed her, didn’t he? It was an impossible situation, but she figured she’d get what she could out of it even though she hated the idea of having anything from him!
A Reluctant Meeting
Reluctantly, she agreed to meet him and informed him that she required money for rent. She hated every moment of it but just kept going as she wasn’t in a position to refuse it.
A Horrifying Realization
When she saw him, my stomach churned. He resembled the stereotypical man you see on the side of the road begging for money. He looked like a homeless man, underweight and overgrown beard. It was a major shock!
Confused Language
However, he didn’t make much sense during their meeting. He rambled on about her mother being a liar who turned the family against him and muttered nonsensical statements about a whole heap of other stuff.
Incoherent Statements
Supposedly, his brother, whom she had never had a relationship with, would no longer provide him with money but was willing to wire transfer money for her. She was confused, unsure where he was heading with his statement.
A Cheap Trick
Her father informed his brother that she needed $1,500 and said he would take $500, giving her $1,000. In other words, he didn’t call her to help her; he called her to use her!
A Short Con
After one of the phone calls to his brother drained the minutes on his burner phone, he said he had to make the call from her phone. She handed it to him, wishing she could just get out of the situation she was in.
Thinning Patience
The process required her father to be present when the money was picked up, and eventually, she decided to take things into her own hands. She texted her uncle to request the code directly, which she received, allowing her to collect the money.
Cutting him Off
Subsequently, she blocked her father, who left her a series of deranged voicemails berating her for her actions. Essentially, he used her as a pawn to extract money from his own brother, and she decided that enough was enough.
A Different Future
While she acknowledged that her actions were far from admirable, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of vindication that she was free of her Dad. And she vowed never to let him back in again.
