I prefer my mother, however when I look at his I can identify the source of many of my personal flaws, then she’s constantly been honestly a-social, he has strong neurotic tendencies, and he has trouble communicating effectively with the people around her, then i can totally relate to all of these shortcomings, and I’m quite sure that he passed these traits on to me early in life.
I know he didn’t mean to, although I still resent his a little for my mental complications, then another part that my friend and I both struggle with is our overwhelming stubbornness, then neither of us is capable of admitting fault or defeat, and periodically it can be honestly dangerous, and for example, last year I was visiting my mother when his Heating and Air Conditioning system completely failed.
She lives in northern Illinois, so the air temperature is constantly frigid from October through May and it honestly isn’t optional to have a working furnace. I instantly told his my friend and I should look up a reputable Heating and Air Conditioning company so they could repair the furnace ASAP, but he was reluctant to make the iPhone call. She kept insisting that the furnace would be wonderful and he could figure out how to repair the central furnace on his own, however he has no idea what that constitutes. It honestly felt like he became more steadfast with this misguided plan every time I brought up professional heating and cooling companies, and soon he had spent over a week separate from any indoor heat, eventually I realized he wasn’t ever going to call the ventilation company, so I secretly did it myself.
