This was supposed to be a post shitting on bad dads but I guess this is just another aspect of life that I got shit luck on and most people don’t hate their father.

My dad is a major narcissist. Never truly able to see things outside of himself or his reputation. However, a major part of his self image is trying to be a good dad and maintaining liberal ideas on racism and homophobia (that it’s bad). He tries his best to do right by me and my sister, even if he can sometimes be a huge baby about it. He will pretty much never listen to a dissenting idea that comes from me but if I’m later corroborated by a liberal rag like NYT he’ll come back and tell me I was right.

When I came out to him he handled it much better than my mother (although tbf it was 5 years later).

TL;DR: My dads a huge baby that I’ve learned to mostly ignore for my own sanity but I never questioned if he loved me.
