My dad's cure was hot milk with butter, honey and garlic.

It won't not work.

I feel both our dads are kind of in the 'fuck that guy' category. At least you live on the other side of the planet.

Replace the butter and garlic with fresh lemon juice and ~40% alcohol and we're talking.

Funnily enough this recipe dates back to when I was a kid AND my old man is a full on alcoholic. This may be the only time that alcohol is not involved in a home remedy of his.

You're not wrong about living far from him.

Haven't spoken with him in a few years and feel like I'm missing nothing.

I just stopped talking to mine a few weeks ago. I realised every interaction was basically him shitting on me and being amused by it, and that I'm in my 40s now, am I going to listen to this shit for another 30 years?

I feel you.

My mum left him 5 years ago and I don't miss him.

He hit me up for money a few years back and Iaighed him off. Ain't heard from him since.

Feel bad for my kids cause wife's dad is more of a fuck up than mine.
