Ever known somebody who just sucks the life out of ya being around ya?
They're called "energy vampires" or "energy drainers".

This guy was a real piece of work. He's angry and bipolar but won't go to the doctor.

Everything he said was negative. He doesn't want his kids to read books. I said "Why do you want to hobble them just as if their legs were broken? Why do you want them to be ditch diggers?". I told him, "It's evil to break a child's spirit by telling him he's bad and evil from the day he's born. He's innocent and wants to do good, but you break his will and he will think he is worthless. You cannot protect him from the world. He's gonna have to grow up and deal with the world and make his own choices. You can't control him forever."

he went into a grimace of pain every time I spoke to him -but then I'm an educated female with a doctorate, and that is BAD.

His kids don't respect him, they rebel b/c they know his Big Scary Daddy Jeebus act is bull. I pulled a Dr. Phil on him and said "How's that workin' out for ya??" :evilgrin:

His kids hate him, one boy moved out already because he was afraid he'd kill his old man. Had the old man up against the wall calling him a "loser" and a "sorry son of a bitch" for hitting his mom.
Dad thought he had it all worked out, married a girl 20 years younger than him, tied her down with three kids, that he could control.

Well, she was hanging out with bad people, she is easily manipulated I guess and immature, and now she's gonna spend the rest of life in jail. So now he doesn't have to support her, the taxpayers do.

:wtf:
