like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

My aunt and her husband live with me and my son. I pay the mortgage by myself

my son just drinks. no job, no education, no progress of any kind towards his goals. he’s dealing with a lot of pain right now because of some abuse that happened. it’s a mountain, he’s powerless. i’m afraid he’s going to drink himself to death. i’m angry because i’m constantly afraid/in pain because of him and he refuses to do anything about it

my aunt is autistic but doesn’t realize it. she’s always struggled with interpersonal relationships. she was abused by her dad at a young age and it turned her into a monster. nothing is ever her fault. if she hurts you, it’s your fault for being there. it’s your fault for being in the way. it’s your fault for having thin skin.

my aunt’s husband is 300 pounds and won’t stop eating. he does a lot of work around the house - construction, carpentry, landscaping but he’s not going to live long.

i’m just hurt and angry all the time. i’m alone and i’m stuck here. i don’t know what to do.

do any of you guys struggle with this?
