You? |

Date: February 9th, 2026 1:57 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) Yes. My father was always present but he never guided, protected, or served. It led to years of working on myself to build confidence and spending much of my 20s and 30s aimlessly searching for the right role models to build the parts of myself that were neglected throughout my childhood.
I'm more or less fine now, but it could have easily been much worse. I visited my parents yesterday and it took me back to those negative familiar places. And I see it in my siblings who are also similarly failing to lead. My mom was recently diagnosed with cancer, and her care is being managed by my sister-in-law (my parents live with them) while my brother lets her serve as his agent.
It would be so great if my brothers and I could just communicate in a group chat of us alone and talk openly but everything goes through their advisors now. It's frustrating to say the least. |

Happy to hear you’ve lived to tell the tale so to speak, but sorry to hear you’re having to still deal with that dynamic, but with a soul-soothing perspective of clarity at least - navigating the family ties that bind, and it’s a funny fact of life how even when we see certain situations for what they are and even are fortunate enough to rise above them in spirit, it’s still “the only way out is through” in so many aspects of this life (sorry for TMI, just a thought provoking poast on your part) 🙏 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5832943&forum_id=2Elisa#49658541) |

"it’s a funny fact of life how even when we see certain situations for what they are and even are fortunate enough to rise above them in spirit, it’s still “the only way out is through” in so many aspects of this life"
that's very true, thank you |

and the irony is bitches actually want men to lead and control them but they cant say this cause feminazis are terrorists |

Date: February 9th, 2026 1:47 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) everyone thinks of absent fathers but there's a much larger glut of men who are present and absconding on their responsibilities to lead and serve
my dad unfortunately was one of them |

Date: February 9th, 2026 2:00 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) Au contraire, that's why I'm conservative. Since you seem to know me so well what liberal positions do I hold? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5832943&forum_id=2Elisa#49658530) |

Date: February 9th, 2026 2:01 PM Author: Roblox Over the years we've met some couples where the wife is a more dominant figure. We never hang out with them again as a family. I'll do night out with the guy - dinner or catch a game - but never family. No one wants that toxic influence. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5832943&forum_id=2Elisa#49658533) |

Date: February 9th, 2026 2:06 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad (Death, death to the IDF!) That's the right move. I was blessed with a wonderful mother who led where necessary but never belittled or dehumanized my father and allowed him to maintain the facade of male leadership. But the downside of that unwavering loyalty is she never took my side when he and I had our fights and always made excuses for him while blaming me.
I don't begrudge her position, that must have been incredibly challenging to thread the needle like she did all her life. |
