Survivorship bias probably if I had to guess. If Dad is bad enough to cut off like that, he's also bad enough to have had plenty of time to have alienated anyone who isn't also a shithead long before you got up the gumption to cut him off. There was also probably at least some part of it that comes down to their shitty behavior being shaped in part by the people around them.

I think it's time we (or just I?) got a carbon monoxide detector

But, if I put the battery back in the CO detector all my friends go home and I don't wanna be alone with my own thoughts xD

Weirdly relatable. What gives with dads' sides of the family being entirely made up of shitheads?

This post is like some sort of multiverse nexus where other versions of me have congregated but it's just so many people's dads were somehow Like That

Plot twist: we all share the same dad, have cut each other off, and are all shitheads.
