i love my dad to death and he's really fun to be around like 90% of the time. except that when he drinks i can't stand him. like, he's racist and has this really twisted view of the world that i definitely don't share, but i really don't make that big of a deal out of it because he's got the right to think whatever he wants - even if it's something completely ridiculous, and when he's sober he has enough manners and common sense not to say anything to me because he knows i don't share his ideas, and i don't say anything to provoke something offensive out of him. but ugh, when he's drunk he doesn't care and just says stuff to make my sister and i angry because he knows what makes us angry and i guess he wants to start a fight. i can't stand it.
my mom used to (and still kind of does) say stuff to provoke me because i'm religious and she's not. she used to make jokes about me behind my back to my sister about it, especially when i was still learning about everything and i was really passionate and on fire. she and my sister used to gang up on me about controversial topics and couldn't just respect that i had my own opinions. but since my sister moved out she really hasn't done that. we kind of just leave each other alone now.
