Have you lived with someone you despise?

In my case the damage began during my parents' divorce and subsequent custody battle for me. Was a straight A student until halfway through 10th grade when my grades bellyflopped into oblivion. I would constantly zone out in class - my chemistry teacher particularly hated it, said "not on the same page" on my report card - and later I'd cut entire days.

Shortly afterwards I had to move in with my dad because my mom had become unbearable to live with.........little did I know she was a walk the park compared to him. To make a long story short, he's an emotionally abusive bastard who just won't fuucking die. While I was working during my stay with him I could avoid him, but when his heart condition worsened I had to quit my job to become his 24/7 personal carer for almost 3 years.

Being stuck with him 24/7 killed my soul. I had to shield my emotions in order to render him powerless but in the process I lost the ability to feel pretty much anything. Pretty much noone meant anything to me anymore. I'm still like that today.

Safe to say it destroyed my life. Today, I feel no joy, no happiness, no sadness, not even fear - I don't even look both ways before crossing the road anymore. I just don't give a shit. Dead man walking.........hmm I'd make a great hitman. Is there someone you want me to kill?

Dad waltzed overseas one day because he decided he felt better, haven't seen him since.
