he thinks he can work on my vehicle and that justifies his bad behavior

 and or buy me something like a vehicle, restaurant food, piddly items at a store while he spends hundreds on himself..boots. furniture. tools. car truck parts. expensive trash junk food. haircuts. electronics. house repairs, appliances. donations to scam conspiracy theory political organizations. 

its one of his ways of a fake apology for his asinine ways and trying to make himself powerful, worthy. smarter than me , trying to maintain his illusion of control over me
