What character trait describes manny’s dad

Mr. Hernandez is Manny's father. He is struggling as the story opens, mainly because he has lost his job and is ineffective in his effort to be the head of his home without that stability. He talks a great deal about getting another job but spends all his time and money at Rico's Pool Hall instead of actually looking for a job. He rants about “the Welfare” and refuses to take part in any government program, though it means his family is in a serious financial situation. He is stubborn and self-centered, but Manny talks about the fact that his father was different before he lost his job. This seems to indicate that a lack of purpose is driving Mr. Hernandez to be a different person. He is not likable throughout most of this story. In many ways, he seems to be the typical abusive, drunken immigrant with no real motivation for a better life.
