We’re both really stupidly non-confrontational (thanks Dad!) so we’re pretty crap about talking about things. He’s also pretty forgetful. He just asked me how old I am for example, so I really don’t think he’s doing it on purpose. I’ve started asking him directly if I’m on my own for dinner, plus I’ve been keeping some pasta and canned vegetables in my room so I won’t starve. 

But that day was particularly bad and tiring, and that just seemed especially inconsiderate. It was sort of upsetting because we weren’t raised that way. I dunno. I’m looking for a new place so soon I’ll be on my own again.
