Just came home from my stepfather's house. I was showing him some of the trim pics.
His first response was "looks like a real craftsman did that.
I responded with, "I did all that."
He just said "oh".
No "good job" or "im proud of ya".
And you'd think at 40 years old I'd be over looking for his praise but it still bothers me that he cant ever just say good job.
I get it we will never be friends but that hurts.
Every time I see him I make a point of shaking his hand just because I know he dont like it.
Maybe that's why I try so hard to be good at what I do just because I know on many levels im better than him?
Or maybe im still just a total POS who will never amount to ****?
Any ways be nice to your kids, even if they ain't yours.
