_________________________________________________________
After the party Freddie and I were in my guest room with my pacing around and Freddie brushing out his hair with his disguise now dropped.
“He just—walked out.”
“Perhaps I might’ve gone too far with the splits, but darling let’s be honest here. That dance was probably the best thing you will ever do in your entire life.”
“I was pretty good wasn’t I?” I bragged still remembering the look on that bitch Priyanka’s face as she tucked and run. But then I thought back to John, I mean nothing seems to impress him and I thought all royals loved treasures or women fighting over them. “But nothing seems to impress him.”
“I know. Not gems or jams or jewels. I mean if I can’t impress him, I wonder who can?” I looked out of my balcony to see just across from my balcony was the Princes’ balcony. I saw John with Roger and Jim and the three of them went back into the room.
“What are you saying Freddie?” I asked as I turned towards him.
“I’m just saying maybe just try being yourself.”
“I already told you, he has to marry a Princess.” I sighed as I turned back towards the Princes’ balcony. “If I only just had a few minutes alone with him.” Then an idea came into my mind. “You have to get me over there?”
“That an official wish?” he asked me as he shook out his hair and turned towards me.
“No it’s more of a—favor. For a friend.”
“Sorry dear, genies really don’t do favors.” He said as he turned back towards the mirror and observed himself. “Plus we don’t really do friends.”
“But I thought you said you never had a friend like me.”
“See that’s where you’re wrong (y/n). I said you never had a friend like me. See when you’re a genie, people always want things from you it’s just—awkward.” He placed a turban on top of his head and modeled it wondering if it looked good on him. That’s when I got a clever idea.
“Yeah, you’re right. Besides it would’ve involved distracting a—certain animal keeper to the Princes.”
“Oh-ho I see where this is going you clever minx, I hook you up, you hook me up, right?” Freddie said as came up in front of me with a wide smile while I just grinned back at him.
*3rd Person POV*
Now back in his disguise Freddie appeared at the Princes’ door and extended his hand outwards to the door, then using his magic he made three knocks sound off before they opened to reveal Jim. He was surprised to see the advisor to the Princess and Freddie greeted him with a smile.
“Good evening.”
“How did you get past the guards?” questioned Jim.
“Oh I uhh—I snuck past them.”
“All 48 of them? Even the ones that spit fire? Impressive.” Jim said in a blunt tone.
“Well—that’s what people say about me.” Freddie chuckled nervously. Jim however just gave him an unimpressed look. “Oh that—that came out arrogant didn’t it? I mean I’m not overly arrogant or a prick I just I don’t know why I said that. Uhh….” He then saved himself by bring out from his back, a small bouquet of roses.
“They’re lovely.” Jim awed. “He’ll hate them.” Jim then suddenly spoke with a blunt matter-of-fact tone. “Tell the Princess that the way to Prince John’s heart is through his mind.”
“Actually these are from me—to you.” Freddie said. Jim’s face softened and he said softly.
“Could you excuse me for one moment?” Jim said as he reached for the doors and slowly closed them.
“No, wait I just….” Freddie tried to save himself but the doors closed in on him before he could say another word.
Jim remained calm as he slowly turned towards the Princes before finally letting go and silently pumping his arms up and down in victory. John, Brian and Roger also mouthed out a cheer for him.
Meanwhile from the hallway Freddie turned his head angrily muttering to himself.
“‘Not that I’m overly arrogant’ really Freddie? That made you sound like a right up arsehole basically.” The doors opened up and Freddie turned back and smiled at Jim. Jim took the roses and said.
“My favorite, I plant these all the time back home for the Princes garden. You may continue.”
“I was noticing of how—pleasant the evening is. At the party I noticed you noticing…me how—pleasant I am. Right, how is this going?” Freddie stammered awkwardly before asking cautiously.
“It’s clumsy. But in a…..charming sort of way.” Jim answered him honestly.
“A stroll.” Freddie blurted out. “Would you like to take an evening stroll with me?”
“Just the two of us? On purpose?”
“Yes, as people.” Jim was silent once again before whispering softly.
“Just one more minute.”
“Okay.” As Jim closed the doors once more, Freddie muttered, “Why the fuck would I say that?” as the doors fully closed he turned aside and softly growled “That woman is contagious!”
Inside the room, Jim tossed the bouquet over to John who caught it and he gestured and mouthed out ‘go’ to Jim. Jim opened the doors once again and he said to Freddie.
“I’ve never really been on a stroll, how does it work?”
“Follow me my dear and I’ll show you.” The two men then walked side by side of each other, their hands briefly rubbing off against one another.
*My POV*
“I’m happy Jim finally found someone while we were here.” I heard Prince Brian say from the balcony.
“Yeah, he seems to be happy with Ali’s advisor. He looks like he’s a lot of fun, maybe I’ll ask if he’d like to go for a ride in the gardens.” Prince Roger spoke.
“You know you just wanna interrogate the poor guy in case he hurts Jim.” John’s voice spoke up.
“I just care about Jim’s wellbeing. I mean remember that one arsehole that used him to get to us, mainly you Brian.”
“I’d—rather not talk about that thank you Rog.” I then decided to make my presence known so I knocked on the corner of the wall and I heard John say.
“Come in.”
“Actually I’m already in.” I said cautiously as I came around the column pillar.
“Don’t move!” John warned me. That’s when I saw both the lion and lioness stand up and growl at me, but the lioness seemed more protective as she looked like she was ready to attack me.
“I just came back because you left so…..”
“How did you—get there?” he asked curiously. I closed me mouth and said the first two words that came to my mind.
“Magic carpet?” he just scoffed at me.
“I, for one, am glad you’re here though Princess Ali.” Spoke Prince Brian as he stood up holding some sort of creature in his hand. It looked kinda like a mongoose of sorts but it wasn’t like anything I’ve ever seen before. It was big, probably the size of a domestic cat, it had grey fur for the back but black on its underbelly, around it’s face was white with black lines along the eyes.
“You are?”
“Yes. For hours I’ve been trying to find Ababwa but it doesn’t seem to be on any of my maps. Care to show me?”
“Well I…..”
“Yes. I would also like to know just why your kingdom isn’t on any map.” John spoke up as he crossed his arms. As I took a step forward, the lioness took a step forward while the male lion softly roared. “Now Nala. You and your brother can’t eat the princess tonight she needs her legs for dancing.”
“Did I go too far with the split?” I asked as I finally began walking forward while the two big cats were distracted.
“A little. Ababwa?”
“Yes.” I spoke loudly before finally muttering to myself, “Freddie I need to find Ababwa, they have maps, lots of maps.” I cleared my throat as I finally stood by the two princes and picked up the map and held it over my face in between me and John’s face specifically. “Ababwa, of course.” I remained silent for a bit before finally saying again, “Ababwa.”
Finally I saw a cartoon drawing of Freddie on the map in his genie formed and he waved at me. He then began flying about and I followed his frantic movements as his genie tail began drawing random kingdoms at the center. Along a banner it read ‘WEMBLEY KINGDOM.’
‘Not funny Freddie!’ I mouthed at him. He then waved another banner in big bold letters that read JUST BE YOURSELF, his drawing scowling at me with his arms crossed. ‘Fred enough of…..’ John’s hand came on top of the map and he bent it over as he told me.
“Have you lost your country?” oh Allah say something you idiot.
“What no? No! No not at all its……” I set the map down trying to stand between the map and John. “It’s right here.” I pointed in a random spot. His brow rose skeptically as he said.
“I don’t think so, see I was with Brian when he was—” he looked down and low and behold Freddie had drawn the fake kingdom of Ababwa and gotten rid of the other drawings he had done, even his drawing was gone.
“There it is!” I exclaimed cheerfully. John and Brian hovered over the map and Brian said.
“How did I miss that?”
“Well I mean who needs maps anyways? They’re old, and useless and add no practical value.” I said as I took the map away from the desk.
“Maps are how we see the world.” Brian said as he set down his pet.
“But I thought a prince could go anywhere?” I asked. All three of them had solemn faces as Roger finally spoke up.
“Not these princes unfortunately.” John especially seemed to look the most solemn and heartbroken.
“Well, if you’d—Prince John I’d gladly oh!” I felt a brush up against my leg and a soft bite on my shoe. I know it wasn’t intentionally at my foot per-say, but I did feel small teeth nibble into my skin.
“Ahh Lulu naughty girl!” Prince Brian scolded as he came up and picked the creature up. “Sorry, she’s always been a curious little badger but I’ve never seen her act like this before.” Then just before Brian could catch her, she went between my legs, her medium sized body knocking into my heels sending me towards the ground.
“Oh dear Princess Ali are you…..” just before Brian could help me up, the male lion stood between him and I.
“Simba! Nala!” Roger proclaimed as I was now surrounded by two massive big cats. The female lioness standing right over me growling right into my face for a bit till it suddenly softened.
The male’s face also softened and soon the female slowly licked my face from my forehead down to my chin. The two of them softly bellowed a soft roar as I said.
“Thank you…..Nala.” I scratched the side of her face and she leaned into my hand and accepted my scratches while Simba came up and plopped right down beside me and raised his paw up and wrapped it around my neck which ended up bringing me down and forcing my face to be buried into his dark mane.
“Incredible.” I heard Brian mutter. Once I had my fill of lion snuggles and managed to break free of their loving grips, I adjusted myself and said as I walked out towards the balcony.
“I was saying you should really see these places. I mean there’s a whole world beyond books and maps. Do you want to?”
“How? There are guards at every door.” John stated bluntly as he looked at me.
“Who said anything about using a door?” I said as I walked towards the railing.
“What are you doing?” John’s tone turned into an alarmed tone as he came down the steps.
“Sometimes my English Princes, you just—have to take a risk.” I said as I swung over to the other side of the railing before finally letting go.
*John’s POV*
We all let out a gasp as Princess Ali just fell to her death. All was quiet as I looked from side to side.
“Please tell me we didn’t just witness a suicide.” Spoke Roger. Suddenly slowly rising up sitting perfectly fine and alive was Princess Ali on top of a—no way they really do exist? I thought these things were just stories.
“Is this…..” I asked as I walked up to her.
“A magic carpet? Yeah.” She scooted closer to the edge of the carpet and said to me, “Do you trust me?” wait a second. Did—did she just say what I thought she said?
“What?”
“Do you trust me?” she said again as she extended her hand out to mine. I turned towards Brian and Roger and they nodded and gestured for me to go on. I turned back towards Ali and gave her my hand as I said.
“Yes.” She then helped me onto the magic carpet. The two of us sat down on top of the magic carpet and as Nala came up towards the balcony bellowing out a whine, the carpet took off flying over the entire city.
It was then I heard Ali beginning to sing, and my god she—had the voice of an angel. The only other voice to sing so sweetly like that was my mother. We flew through the tight alleyways of the Agrabah city and I couldn’t help but be in awe of the city at night. When I turned back towards Ali, she had a small plum petunia in her hand and she held it out to me.
I took it and sniffed it as it’s delicate scent tickled my nose as we continued to fly through the rooftops of the city now before flying high into the sky. Going up and over the clouds before slowly diving back down through them, like whales breaching in the ocean. Even going as far to fly across the moon.
*Ali*
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, my prince, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
I then began to feel the song in my heart as we continued to fly high over the clouds. Soon the magic carpet even handed us some armful of clouds for Ali and I to hold.
Never did I dream that I would actually get to hold a cloud it was more—fluffier than I imagined. Kinda like feeling stuffing.
As Ali’s cloud broke apart, I released my cloud go as we spun around a cloud making it into the shape of whipped cream topping before doing a loop-de-loop. We now flew alongside a flock of cranes and I couldn’t help but extend my arms out, it was then we were briefly tossed off the carpet before being caught again, doing somersaults as we went higher and higher into the diamond lit sky.
*Me*
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
*Ali*
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
*Me*
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
We flew straight down from the sky and through the clouds to see a river coming up. I closed my eyes but she took my wrists and gently took them away from my eyes as we flew right over the water before going back up towards the sky to see the city of Agra. The Taj Mahal standing so proudly just ahead as we flew over it.
We then flew far out of the city towards the open desert to see a herd of wild horses running freely. As we got closer to them, I stroked the youngest stallion underneath his chin and he whinnied while we flew on ahead of the herd.
*Ali*
Don't you dare close your eyes
*Me*
A hundred thousand things to see
*Ali*
Hold your breath - it gets better
*Me*
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
*Ali*
A whole new world
*Me*
Every turn a surprise
*Ali*
With new horizons to pursue
*Me*
Every moment red-letter
Now flying over the Indian ocean we both looked down to see the dolphins swimming up to the surface doing their breaching technique, the moon bouncing off the water gave it a beautiful glow and as I looked towards Ali, the moon also gave her an ethereal beauty, especially from her raven hair to her bright (e/c) eyes.
We turned to face each other as our song came to a close and I could feel my heart beat just a little bit faster at seeing her eyes shine like the stars under the moonlight.
*Both*
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
*Ali (Me)*
A whole new world (A whole new world)
That's where we'll be (that’s where we’ll be)
*Ali*
A thrilling chase
*Me*
A wondrous place
*Both*
For you and me
We leaned up against each other, my head on top of hers and her head resting against my shoulder as my hand gently took hers and they intertwined with each other’s.
After seeing the world we stopped right back into the city of Agrabah to see the people having a celebration of their own in the middle of their city. A large bonfire was at the center, drummers banging on the drums in rhythm while the people danced in a circle and cheered. I looked over to Ali and took off my white vest and draped it over her shoulders to keep her warm. She turned to me and smiled in gratitude.
“Of all the places you’ve shown me tonight this is by far the most beautiful.”
“Sometimes you just have to look at it from a new perspective.” She answered.
“It’s them. The people. No matter what skin color they are, they make it beautiful. And they deserve to have an ally who knows that. I don’t see how that ever could be me.”
“Because it should be you.” She answered.
“Do you really think so?” I asked as I turned to face her.
“Does it really matter what I think?” she said as she tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, much like how (y/n) did a couple nights ago.
But it—it couldn’t be her. Could it? So I decided to test something out.
“You know,” I slowly moved my arm around her waist. “It’s a shame that Abu had to miss this.”
“Nah, he hates parties, besides he’s……” she stopped talking and I saw her face fall. So it was her. It was (y/n)!
“I knew it, you are (y/n)! Why did you lie to me!?” I said as I backed away from her.
“John I’m sorry.” She pleaded. No she doesn’t get any mercy from me.
“Did you really think I was stupid? That I wouldn’t figure it out?!”
“No, no you’re not stupid I was just….”
“Tell me the truth. Is your name (Y/n) or Ali?!”
“I’m Princess Ali.”
“So (y/n) wasn’t real?”
“No she is! Because I’m also (y/n). I—just use the name (y/n) for when I need to disguise myself amongst the commoners. To—escape the pressures of palace life.” I just looked at her with a skeptical glare and I asked her.
“Why didn’t you just tell me the day we met?”
“Well I mean you know—royalty going out into the city in disguise it sounds kinda strange don’t it?” well she’s got me there. I mean after it was my idea that Roger and I dress as commoners to escape the palace just shortly after we had arrived.
“Not that strange.” I said as I gently nudged her shoulder with mine. “I’m sorry I snapped at you. Is just I can’t believe I didn’t recognize you.”
“It’s okay. People just don’t see the real you when you’re royalty.” Don’t I know that much. We looked at each other and that’s when I returned the favor and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
“We should—” she started off. I looked down at her and she continued, “We should head back.”
“Already?” I sighed and that’s when Ali had the magic carpet take us back to the palace.
We arrived back at my balcony and I could see the lights were off, so I’m hoping Brian and Roger are asleep by now. Ali helped me off the magic carpet and handed me back my vest and that’s when the magic carpet lowered itself down.
“Goodnight, Princess Ali.”
“Sweet dreams, Prince John.” She said softly with a soft smile. Slowly the two of us began leaning forward when suddenly she was pushed right up into my face. Well I guess I’ll have the thank that magic carpet tomorrow. I then leaned the rest of the way and softly kissed her lips.
She kissed me back and it felt like an eternity before the desperate need for air became necessary. I pulled away before giving her a warm smile and turning my back on her to walk into our room.
*3rd Person POV*
After the kiss and John turned back into his room, (y/n) extended her arms outward as she whispered.
“Yes.” Before falling back onto Carpet who flew away from the balcony and (y/n) let out a giggly, whooping cheer. However she was unaware of Iago who had witnessed the entire thing.
“Fascinating.” He crooned darkly.
Back in her room, Carpet stopped right at her balcony where Freddie now in full genie mode was drinking a cup of vodka and he said as he saw (y/n)’s face.
“Ohh I love that face. Good date?”
“The best.” She answered with a reply.
Meanwhile in the Princes room Roger and Brian who were still awake while Jim was preparing John for bed, John said to them.
“But it was better than the best.”
“Wow Deacy, who would’ve thought you had it in you.” Roger praised.
“However the thing was Roger we’ve actually met her.”
“Wait what do you mean?”
“He even figured out that I was (y/n). You said that wouldn’t happen.” (y/n) told Freddie.
“Well genie magic is really just a façade. Eventually real characters are always gonna show up. But that’s a good thing, right? Now he knows.”
“Well…..” she dragged out.
“Wai—hold-hold up now. What?”
“She told me that she was only pretending to be a thief to escape the stress of palace life, but she’s really a Princess.” John explained to Roger just after Jim finished brushing his hair. “Thank you Jim, you can retire for the night.”
“Thank you Prince John. Good night boys.”
“Night Jim.” Said Brian.
“G’night Jimmy boy” Roger called out as Jim left their bedrooms to go to his sleeping quarters.
“And you believed that?” asked Roger.
“I think so.” John said as he got into his bed.
“(Y/n) darling, eventually you are going to have to tell him the truth.”
“Eventually I will tell him Freddie. But anyway, how was your stroll with Jim?”
“Oh no, no, no you are not turning the conversation around dear.”
“I’m not I’m genuinely curious. How did it go?” Freddie looked at me skeptically but when he saw that I wasn’t lying to him, he proceeded to tell me everything. He seemed to really like Jim, and heck maybe by the end of it all, maybe they could end up together. Sure it’s frowned upon but love is love and that’s how everyone should live their lives, right?
Brian turned to his side to face John and asked him.
“You don’t think that maybe you want believe her because you have to marry a Princess, but can’t marry a thief?”
“No Brian. I believe her. I do.” John said affirmatively. He looked up at the ceiling before sighing softly and shutting his eyes to rest for a new day.

Long rant about my dad . Maybe just enjoy the image and keep scrolling lol
Honestly, it’s a long rant. IDK why you clicked the read more link. But here we are I guess.
It’s complicated. Growing up, I was daddy’s little girl. Always have been, and I guess I made the assumption I always would be. When I was a child, we played video games together, we went to basketball games, we watched kids cartoons together, and we hung out a lot. I remember when he first bought the Xbox. He told me I couldn’t watch him play Halo because it was violent, but he let me hang out with him while he played anyways so long I was quiet. Over time, he let me play Halo too, and by high school, I was kicking his ass at Halo, and was better than every other Halo player in my school. By college, I was making him proud by being a student with a 3.95 GPA, perusing 3 studies, while working 2-3 jobs. By graduation, I was the laziest snowflake millennial he had ever met, and I never appreciated anything he had ever done for him, and I was in financial cahoots with his bitch of an ex-wife, and the only reason I didn’t have a job was because I was hadn’t been applying and was going on some elaborate vacation.
He made assumptions, and none of it was true (except for the fact I’m a liberal millennial). My graduation gift from him was $50, getting that speech, and getting kicked out of the house. He then proceeded to hand me my car insurance bill as well as the cat we’ve had since I was six, and told me to find her a home (I drove her 7 hours to my mother’s house). I understand I’m an adult at this point, and have a level or responsibility. But the sentiment was not at all what I, or anyone that knew us while I was growing up, would have expected. He also didn’t need to kick out the cat - she’s done nothing wrong. Neither have I.
My parents divorced two years ago – as an only child, it was tough. But as an adult child, I understood both sides. My mom really had been upset. My dad didn’t treat her with respect. The divorce wasn’t a surprise – my mom had been talking to me about it for about 5 years before. She probably shouldn’t have done that, but I don’t really think it matters either way because I think I realized they would get a divorce at some point maybe a couple years even before my mom started talking about it. They fought all the time. They jumped to conclusions. They didn’t listen to each other, and instead they just fought. They were both at fault.
I was the center of their worlds. They treated each other like crap, and disagreed a lot. The only exception was me. I was the only thing they agreed on. Consistently. Pros – they didn’t fight over me. Cons- I heard everything in stereo. I was close with both of them. I had a great relationship with my mother, and a great relationship with my father. They never treated me with the same disrespect they treated each other with.
The divorce was messy – I knew it would be. 8 months of lawyers fighting. They went to court twice. Twice. That’s not how that should work. But they fought so much both their lawyers got tired of them and let them go to court a second time.
Of course, when you pay two lawyers for 8 months, it’s expensive as hell. Also, when you take an entire person’s income out of the picture, you’re gonna be left with a lot less money. Mom says she got cheated financially with the divorce. Dad says he got cheated financially with the divorce. Both parents think the other bugged their car/house/etc. I’m not sure what’s true and what’s not. Their relationship - their divorce is none of my business beyond the fact they’re both in mourning of some sort. I tried to be there for them equally.
Of course, with less money, that meant less college funds for me. My dad didn’t feel like he could afford it, so I kept working the job I hated, worked more at my second job, and even started working a 3rd job. I went from paying 50% of my college tuition to 75% to 80% at a private school my parents had pushed. No one works 3 jobs while in college for fun. It didn’t cover what my dad felt like he needed, but it was the best I could do. I would have died if I had gotten a 4th job.
I kept a straight face and my mouth shut while I listened to my dad vent, and say horrible things about my mom, and then follow it up with a simple “oh sorry. I probably shouldn’t say that about your mother” and a smirk like that fixed anything (my mom did the same thing too – it wasn’t just him).
I didn’t say anything when the collection of bottles in the cabinet kept growing.
When my dad got drunk off his ass one night, I drove to the bar to pick him up and drive him home, but he demanded we go to StarWars instead. I babysat him at the movies, until he passed out the second the trailers started, and then snored the whole movie. That was my Christmas weekend.
When he forgot about Christmas, I told him it was fine, and gave him my gift anyways.
He stopped grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. I tried to cover, but he never noticed.
When he started dating again, I gave him dating advice.
When he told me to not tell my mom he started dating again, I agreed (ironically that same day my mom asked me for the same favor)
After his first breakup with a girlfriend, I canceled my plans with my mom and hung out with him while he stared off in space for a few hours and refused to acknowledge my existence.
I canceled plans with my mother to hang out with him when he asked.
I canceled plans with my boyfriend to hang out with him – my dad was in grieving, what else was I supposed to do?
I made sure to not voice my thoughts regarding the divorce, because he would have thought I had taken a side in the matter – which I never did. I never grieved the divorce because I was focused on helping my parents grieve.
I didn’t complain about the job I hated that brought back thoughts I hadn’t had in over a year. I didn’t want him to feel like I was trying to get out of paying my college bills.
When my dad started dating a second time, I was supportive of his relationship – even though he couldn’t stop saying mean things about my boyfriend of 5 years. He had no respect for a person in my life that is clearly important to me.
After he started dating, I got to hang out with him about 5 times one-on-one in the course of 2 years. But it was fine because his girlfriend made him happier (even though their relationship was emotionally abusive – but not as bad as my parent’s marriage had been). She went everywhere with us, even though my boyfriend was never invited.
He started yelling at me more, and treating me with the same disrespect he had shown my mother.
We celebrated the month of my dad’s birthday and then celebrated the month of his girlfriend’s birthday. But on my birthday my dad was busy (with a date with his girlfriend) and couldn’t hang out with me. So we had sushi the day before my birthday, where he admitted he had entirely forgotten about my birthday
The day after my birthday, I got home and found out my dad’s girlfriend broke up with him on my birthday because he “hung out too much” with me, and that I was a “heathen”. My dad took my side and packed up her stuff in the house for her to take. I got to hang out with him for a whole week. I canceled plans with my friends to spend time with him because I hadn’t hung out with him in what seemed like forever. I kept an eye on the liquor cabinet, but he yelled at me less, and joked more. I finally thought he would start acting like he used to… like my dad!.... Until him and his ex got back together….
And now we’re here.
It’s hard because one of my biggest motivators doesn’t care. He does. But he doesn’t. It’s hard. He seems upset too. I know he’s just jumped to conclusions that are incorrect, so I don’t take his words too closely, but I do understand that he’s mad at me and disappointed with me whether his reasons are valid or not.
I have other supporters, who’s support I really do appreciate, and they’re support helps a lot! I will get a job, a good one, and things will get better, but it’s hard. I think I want to have a good relationship with my father. But I don’t trust him, and I don’t think I ever will again.
This picture is from a trip we took in high school to visit his parents. We went kayaking, and it was a great memory. I don’t want to hate my dad, but I think I do right now. I’m not sure how I feel. It’s complicated. And I’m not sure if I want to have a good relationship with him in the future, or if I just want to cut his toxicity out of my life.
This post was long, and I really hope no one actually read it. But I needed to vent, and this is the only way I know how to do that.
