You know that abusive father of mine? The one who is currently pushing my sister into getting a Computer Science degree, when she doesn't like math, science, or computers? He called today, and offered (cough) to let me come over on the weekends, whereupon he would pay me minimum wage to do work around the house. This is such a bad idea, I have a really bad feeling about this, but I need the money and both my mother and my sister say that I am not making sense, and what could it hurt just to try it out? I wish I could get a job with a boss other than that former monster (he's gotten better I hear), but in years of not searching, I've... oh it's just...
If I start living with him on weekends, he'll get into my mind again. I just know it. Even on our brief phone conversation he chastized me for not asking the right questions on this impromptu "job interview." That sort of thing gets to me. I know he'll try to use the proximity to influence me, and especially the fact that as his wage slave I'll be even more dependant on him.
And yet, everyone I talk to seems to think this is fine, healthy even. It'll do me good! What could it hurt! I'm so scared stiff; I only have until Monday when he made me promise to tell him yes or no. Is there any way I can get out of this? I don't need this. Just leave me alone papa...
