Feel like lead in 'Catch me if you can'

[Guest guest]

Growing up with my single BPD Dad in poverty reminds me of (Leonardo

diCaprio) growing up with his divorced Dad( Walken). We didn't

commit crimes or anything but his constant desire to fix things, then screw them

up and then try to convince his son to give up is a real flashback for me.

Does anybody else have the same feeling? I remember wanting to be a con-man and

just take everybody's new car, house, stuff away from them. I get his desire to

get a real job, make money at any cost, and give it all to his Dad and then

watch his Dad say nah son, it'll be ok. " I don't need it " he says which was an

extreme lie. Down goes everybody's dreams with the BPD Dad.

It was hard to watch the scene where he finds his Mother in a new house with new

kids and husband. My Mom and Dad never remarried but boy did my Dad hate me

secretly and told everybody including his new rich girlfriend and her kids. I

think I'm a little too dedicated to a BPD asshole who could not care less. I

have to constantly remind myself of the behavior someone who cares would do and

the difficult times the subsequent anger brings. I just want my Dad back, God,

why is therapy so f'ing useless for so many things.
