So my dad (who has neglected me for my whole childhood) always asks me to call him on pass (pass is when my mom can take me out of my mental health clinic for a few hours. He lives in Europe, so his time zones are wildly different. Whenever I'm able to call him, it's always around 12-3am his time.
Recently, there was an omnibus for a series I really like, and since he tends to send me money every time I call, I texted him, asking for the book. I would have just asked for the money,but he is the only one in my family who had an eBay account. I texted him, to which he responds with "[name]! Please call me! I'll pick up at any time!".
Perfect! Now every pass, I call at the most awkward times, and wait until he picks up. Still never got my book, but sooner or later, I'm sure I will.
Ps: I know this makes me sound like a bad person, but for context, my dad has done very severe forms of ab*se ("So why call him?" Cause my mom gets spammed from him and me calling stops him from spamming her)
