I sometimes wish you could see how your current situation will backfire in your face and further this downward spiral, self-destructive path of yours that you subconsciously crave. The hole you've dug yourself is too deep, pretty much ruining a potentially fruitful career.
I understand the struggles, but time and time again, you have either neglected or abused the offered support, or used your father as a scapegoat.
I'm fully aware that you miss the old days, but that was then, and this is now. Your mistakes and regrets are your own to learn from, but it's frustrating to witness you never learning, progressing or moving forward.
My life's hardly been a bowl of cherries, but do you see me complaining? No.
Will you ever see the light, or just further destroy your health and well-being with; a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and pervasive smoking?
You say my life's amazing, and that I "got lucky". I too was once sedentary, bordering on obesity, but can you not see I've worked effortlessly to get out of the mess I got myself into, right the wrongs I've made, including the weight loss you keep bringing up?
"How did you do it?"
"Eat less, move more"
"Oh, can't be bothered."
Well, what else can I do?
I've known you for a long time, and if this is the bed you so wish to lay in, then stop complaining.
If you want to do something about it, then DO IT! It has to come from you!
