stumbling upon intricacies of human nature

I found my dad's diary today. Being a horrible, nosy person, I of course flipped through it. I'm not sure I can really talk about it. It's weird, really. I've known he doesn't really care much for me, but reading through this was awkward. Every page talks about Claire, Natasha, work, his dreams.. I'm mentioned perhaps three times in fifty or so pages. An example? "She seems like such a sourpuss lately; she is mean, rude, surly..." Hah. How true.

I don't really know how to explain how I feel about this.

no emoticon can properly convey my response to this.

I knew your dad kind of sucked, but... now he's just a dick. I mean, does he even KNOW you? maybe you're different when you're around him, but still... that's pathetic if that's all he knows you as. fuck. I'm really sorry, helen. your dad is an idiot.

(and CLAIRE?!?! christ, if she's the light of his life then you know something's fucked up)
