My father lost his job about four years ago and spent the next two years putting out expensive personal fires my half-sister created in her life and supporting her and her boyfriend financially.
Long story short, 18 or so months ago, my half-sister ran off to the other side of the country, and my dad found business contacts where I live but had run out of savings and had no funds on which to move or live to ostensibly start over.
At the time, my husband was adamantly opposed to my father moving in with us but was willing to help him out for a bit. So, instead of having my father move into our spare bedroom, we rented him a My father my best teacher apartment in the area and paid all of his expenses. Finally, about six months ago, he found a job in another state and moved.
Unfortunately, that job restructured after three months, and, although my dad was supposed to be transferred to another branch, that fell through, too. So now my dad is unemployed again with nowhere to go.
Trust me when I say there is no one else around to help. However, in the past year and a half, my financial circumstances have changed significantly. I left my downtown job to help my husband build our own business, meaning our income dropped in half, which is fine for us, but that means that renting my father a separate place again is not an option.
The only thing we could do to help would be for my father to move into our spare room, and my husband is vehemently against it, to the point of saying that he will not stay in the house if my father moves in.
I certainly understand his position. And none of that has been repaid, nor do I realistically expect it ever will be. But, the thought of my father being homeless horrifies me and tears me up inside. I hate myself for even considering the possibility of letting him be homeless.
I cannot eat or sleep. I cannot do that if he is on the street. Do you or your readers have any advice? He may not be working his ass off as much as he needs to to live the life he wants — or that you want for him, anyway — because he knows he has you and your husband to fall back on.
After all, he got to enjoy a full year of all-expenses paid living while getting to live close to his daughter. A desire to take care of himself?
Wanting to feel like a functional member of society? Where will that leave you? Stop the cycle here. Let your dad put out his own fire.So, on this Father’s Day, make sure that you understand that your dad does the best he can with the tools that he has.
It’s not a father’s job to teach you how to build a fire. It’s your job to learn from him, develop your life’s tools to do your best, and live the life that you want to live. My father now at the age of 50, is a very hard worker and the main provider for our family.
He learned the simple facts of life at very young age and he always lived by them. With his witty remarks, vast knowledge of anything and everything, the conversations we dwelled upon were nothing less than deep.
Approximately 80% of grown-ups with Aspergers and High Functioning Autism (HFA) do not have full-time jobs – not because they can’t do the work, but because they often have difficulty being socially acceptable while they get the work done. My Teacher My Father My quotes - 1.
