I don't have very many childhood memories of my dad not being depressed.

I don't have many childhood memories.

My dad also has bipolar disorder and he was manic most of the time. He wouldn't sleep. And then he would be running around doing all sorts of big projects and never finishing them. When he wasn't all over the place he was lying in bed all the time *or absolutely pissed at everything, dunno how I forgot that

My memory is shit.

I feel like I'm missing things

My dad's uh... medicated now so he's mostly fine.

His house reeks of pot all the time.

Ha weed

Mm weed.

And he has fur babies which apparently really helps.

Though he has a preference for dogs that are massive and don't know their own strength.

My dad has a ton of fucking fur babies, his back yard is a haven for interbred bunnies

Great Dane crossbreeds and shit.

Lemme tell you about Tank.

Tank is a motherfucker.

This dogs mum was a Great Dane and his dad was a bull mastiff.

Oh fuck

That's a pretty appropriate name for a Great Dane.

Now

He *wants* to be a gentle giant

and he thinks he is

but he just doesn't know his own strength

So I'm at my docks house last year

and his stepdad is there

and we're just enjoying a few beers, waiting for the footy to come on

sausages on the barbeque

nice fucking evening, right?

Footy

Tf is the footy

Football game

Actually football or soccer

Soccer

Actual

Football, NRL rules

Dads stepdad is staring at his feet in the midle of the yard, because he's the kind of dude who spends a lot of time in his own head

Tf is NRL

National Rugby League?

Something in tank switches from "chill out" to "playtime"

yes

so Tank bounds over to dads stepdad

jumps up into his face

I've not paid attention to the Tank story one bit because Footy got me distracted.
