It's dizzying how much misunderstanding there can be between a father and son. He thinks I'm out having ***, smoking dope, getting in fights, stealing cars and shoplifting. When I all I do is chain smoke with my friends and ***** about our respective fathers.
So much trust has been lost in such a little time and it's not him, it's me. Coming home high, smelling of cigarettes, two hours late, that'll do it. I can't tell him that I was two hours late because I was trying to sober up, finding it disrespectful to be high around my own old man.
He's afraid. Because I'm just like him, and he sees it.
