I now officially have a different respect for my dad now. He's been snooping through my personal life and finding out little bits and pieces of info that are miniscule, but nonetheless, personal.

He now knows about me and Anna. This makes the 3rd thing that he's found out through someone else.

The only thing is, in his drunken slurs, he let out a little bit too much today about how he "could" find things out if he wanted. Turns out, he knows a private investigator. Prior to mentioning this, he kept stating that I would be surprised to find out what a $20 could do.

Now, I don't know if he really has been paying a PI to watch over me, but I find it very discerning. He claims he doesn't want to know about my business, but he claims he could if he wanted to.

I now feel like I can't trust his word anymore. And the unfortunate thing is, this isn't the kind of trust you can win back over time. I don't feel I can trust him because he can break it at anytime without me knowing it. I feel so betrayed at the fact that he would do this, and yet, there really isn't anything I can do about it unless I actually met the PI and told him to back off.

But that's not happening, so I've decided that even if I do have a Private Investigator watching me where I go, I'm just gonna continue doing things as though my dad won't find out, because if he has the guts want to find out how I live my life, then he must have the guts to handle disappointment and shock.

I may just be acting irrational from the disappointment I have in him now, but either way, I don't think I'm going to look at him the same way.
