“I got away with learning how to be a person”

From how he describes his dad it sounds like he had a real problem holding a job which explains why he seemed to be sleeping passed out drunk on the couch so often. Pat grew up poor and his parents live pretty much a double wide with a dirt driveway
Doesn’t their address literally says “highway” or “freeway” or something ? They don’t even live on a street or road or avenue.

A psychiatrist could diagnose him has having narcissistic personality disorder based on this thread alone.
  • main character syndrome: "He knew. He always knew". Grandiose writing about something as banal as watching Star Trek re-runs, as though his story deserves that kind of treatment.
  • pompous grandstanding about the type of person he is. A faultless wonder who self-learned how to be the perfect human. All he needed was pithy tales of morality. He didn't need to discuss those tales and he didn't need parental guidance.
  • The tweet that @Tagine Enthusiast shared; mythologizing his father ("a great man of many accomplishments") but making sure in the same breath to tell us that he has "surpassed" such an accomplished and great man.
Batshit insane narcissism. Nowhere does he mention that he's a fat, unemployed, tasteless idiot who legally abandoned his daughter and spends literally all day anti-socially arguing with strangers online.

If everything Pat says about his dad is true then he hasn't surpassed him at all. He isn't better than an electrician or even a rodeo clown. He's a drunken bum and a grifter.
From how Pat describes his Dad it really makes sense why he turned into a lazy bum leeching off others. Tommy’s “amazing career” of various different lines off work sounds like he had issues holding a job (pats parents were the era where people pretty much worked one - two places there whole life) due to his alcoholism (lot of “dad passed out with the tv on so I snuck down and watched tv after bedtime stories from Pat) and his mother had to pull the weight to keep the lights on with her school job.

Pat saw his dad work sporadically and was probably told all kinds of bullshit from the old man (like how Pat lies about his life stories) and dummy believed them while he’s getting shit faced drunk to the point he’s on the couch and not in bed with his wife which is how Pat lives his life now - couple photos even showed his couch had pillows and sheets.

Pat turned into his dad - a lazy drunk bum that has to leech of women to survive. No wonder he brags about his books like they’re a big deal even though he makes shit - making any money to him is a huge deal.

Oh, hello, royalty checks!
He doesn’t say that they’re for $1.89.

We talk about how his mom did a number on him and made him the psycho we see today but it seems his dad also had a big impact but in all the wrong ways. The whole “dads passed out on the couch again with the tv on so I snuck down and watched tv late into the night” sounds like pretty serious alcoholic behavior and why he sees nothing wrong with laying around drinking on the couch every day.

Pat learned to be a leech on others from his father - he leeches off his mother and Pat say this as normal so he did as well. His only real “job” was one Ade had to get him with her and she had to drive him there because he couldn’t be trusted to wake up and drive in on his own.

Niki’s father from what it sounds like from the obituary was he was a “stay at home dad” and was the dad that would always volunteer for school events so she never saw a man provide for their family - her mom had to work so he stayed home and now Niki “works” while Pat lays around pretending to be writing a book.

He gets paid twice a year and brags about it when it’s clear he gets next to nothing. He rarely promotes his work on social media (other authors do it right) because he doesn’t have to hustle at all. He is forever a drunk leech on women in his life because that’s what his father was and he learned from him.

My parents taught me how to be a person instead of letting the TV raise me. But Patrick would argue that he's a better person than me so I guess that's another win for the Tomlinsons.

You can tell he was all teary eyed writing this. Star trek makes him more emotional than his own daughter. He is oblivious what a shitty person he actually is.

If you want to hate him even more, just remember that he sees himself as the victim in that situation too; not the daughter he abandoned at birth.

Pat is one of those types that think watching Star Trek makes them much smarter than others when it’s just a sci fi show. Even George Lucas said there’s no deep meaning in his works, it’s just westerns set in space. It’s no more deep or meaningful than action films which are all western influenced.
