And he also wants a passport for his kid.
My dad and my brother both have passports and travel regularly.
I can't get a passport because my dad refuses to give me legal access to his birth certificate to prove that one of my parents was a citizen when I was born.
Why? Because according to the him, the government shouldn't need that information from our family, so he refuses on principal.
I can't get a passport without that document.
I can try and take my dad to small claims court, but I don't have the money for that, my relationship with my dad is civil and functional aside from this one issue, and getting lawyers involved will destroy the family, all I want is a passport.
He needs a psychiatrist, not a lawyer. Because he makes no sense.
There isn't really enough advice or support out there for children of whack job idiots.
Just remember. If you end up having to sue him to get this resolved, that's not you destroying the family, that's him.
This is very true, though I don't really care how the family gets destroyed, I don't want to have a destroyed family at this point in my life right now because I need their support in other ways, so if I can avoid pulling the pin on a series of events I know my father will choose to react poorly to, I want to save myself that stress.
I know my mental health could not handle a family break down right now.
