So. Without trauma dumping, I’ll simply say my dad is a bad dad. What’s a father’s day gift that says “you’re dead to me, but I’m still doing things to keep drama at bay”?

    What’s his issue? Give him something tangential.

    Big drinker? Cheapest bottle opener or a nip of his favorite sauce.

    Angry asshole? Get him a therapy ball.

    The biggest thing my condescending asshole stepdad taught me was “Kill them with kindness”. If you’re kind in a backhanded way, it’ll piss them off and you can feign innocence.

    Personally I’d give him a box of dogshit

      Or try to be more of an integrated whole instead of a human-shaped piece of shit, and use weapons as weapons, and kindness as kindness.
