me and him never really had a good relationship since im introverted and dont share anything about my life with parents, and he's not the most sensitive person so we always had some superficial father son thing, but im glad that im not a complete disappointment to him because he is my role model as much i hate to admit it and as much as he pisses me off sometimes. My entire personality is exactly like his, got literally nothing from my moms side.
