My father is getting old and he has chronic hip pain. In his condition, he can't continue to work. He wants me to come back home so that he can be at ease with me being around.

But, I've built a life for me in this town. I was depressed, aimless and lost back at home with my family. Here, I've got a relationship, a band that's growing, exploring places I love, meeting like minded people, a life that feels good for me.

All of that would be gone if I move back, forever. Everything I love here I'll have to drop and go back to a place where there's nothing for me. I can feel it in my bones that if I do go back home, I'll resent my father for taking away everything I had.

But, I love him and I want to take care of him too.

I keep thinking what would Aragorn do, because I look up to him a lot. But even that hasn't given me a clear idea.

I'm so lost and I need some advice.

I'm in my late 20s. I feel comfortable in my own skin and who I am as a man. But, I've always had issues with men with authority. Father, boss, seniors, sometimes peers. I could never be close to them because I feel like I could never be what they want me to be.

With my father, I strayed so far away from what my father wants me to be. I feel so much anxiety when I talk to him. I know he loves me but part of me also knows he doesn't like me. I feel like I've let him down because I've seen the way he talks to his friend's sons and my cousins. Those guys are much stronger and have things going on in their life that my father is more impressed with. He talks to them with so much pride that I sometimes wish I could be that person. I'm on the verge of giving up though because I feel like there's no point in that anymore.

My boss has tried alot of times to push me to be at my best, which is not a bad thing. But, I just couldn't reach what he expects of me. And that sends me into a spiral where I end up in worse position than I started at. It got so bad by the time I resigned that my boss actively disliked me and sent me a text wishing me that I would fail in anything I pursued next.

These are just some of the things that makes me uneasy and anxious to get close with other men. I fear that they would start to form an expectation of me. Even with my friends I keep some sort of barrier. I don't let them in on everything that goes on in my life.

How do i overcome this anxiety of letting down other men in life? If you met a person like me, what would you tell them?

...is BAM corporate's conduct towards Bryan Mansell. I wish he pressed them hard about why were they so antagonistic towards Bryan, a customer that used your services in one of your stores. Instead of hearing Bryan out, looking through the contracts and spreadsheets and helping him out, why did they resort to trespass him and go through this whole shit show? I feel like if Coffee had dug in a little bit more about their behaviour towards Bryan, we could've seen some cracks starting to appear in their stories.
