Not much an internet stranger can offer but best wishes and recognition that you understanding its a problem is a sign you already have to tools to move on and succeed, make good choices and keep yourself safe and well when you can.
Good luck to you.
“Mildly Infuriating”
This man is not mildly infuriating, he is a PRICK.
I’ll take “dad’s who die alone in retirement homes” for 3000, Alex
I vote for him to stay in his own unmaintained home rather than making the other residents deal with him.
If you’re not estranged, there are a number of states that will require you to ensure they’re cared for, and even require you to pay the state back for their care.
Also a possibility of being charged with elder abuse, if you witness an elderly parent living in squalor.
That’s my dad. I’m no contact for over 20 years. I told him the only way I would talk to him again is if he would go to a psychiatrist/psychologist with me (I want to make sure) his answer was a string of offenses. Now he talks to my SIL about how much he loves me but that I never rewlly loved him and he don’t know why. The audacity
Op should send that back in reply lmao
With dad crossed out.: “I’ll take
dadssirs who die alone in retirement homes for 3000, Alex”**sirs who die alone in retirement homes
Using this for future family scam attempts lol
Also sorry that your father has no empathy
Here he made me send him a picture of the scale. I’m 5’6.9” for reference. It’s not even a lot at all.Pretty confident that if you absorb anything being said to you like this, it will eat you alive. Keep facing other directions and be influenced by people you respect and adore.
That’s on the low side of “Normal weight” per the BMI chart.
I’m 33, 5’7" and 175 lbs. Technically overweight, but I still look fine. It really really depends on your build.
Anyway I’d take that screencap as proof of verbal/emotional abuse.
WTF?
This is straight up abuse. How old are you?
One day, the tables will turn.
That day will be a test of character
Why some people are like this? Don’t know and trying to make sense of it is often futile, especially if you’re caught in the relationship yourself and as such have only a limited / warped perspective… all I can say is that his behavior is extremely sickening.
Everyone deserves love, empathy and compassion from their parents - I’m sorry that your father seems incapable of that, but none of that is your fault.
A decade later: My kids don’t talk to me. I don’t get it.
don’t ever talk
backto me againlook, the kids’ hands were tied. What were they supposed to do?
A decade? I would cut ties with this asshole 5min after this message. (guess it depends how old the kid in the post is at the time)
Easy for you to say. Most of the time kids will try to be a part of their parent’s lives. It’s really easy to suggest you’d crash out at the first opportunity, but a lot of people in abusive relationships don’t for a multitude of reasons we won’t fit into this discussion. Especially true for kids as parents are a child’s whole world. There’s no shortage of tales of kids spending a lifetime trying to work around a parent who is abusive or destructive.
How to lose your relationship with your child in one easy step.
If he’s this much of a shithead to his kids imagine how he treats everyone else
He is probably one of those people who as to get a talking to for scolding other peoples kids
I’ll take “Things that get your sperm donor’s favourite food items tainted” for $500, Alex.
Fuck this asshole. Bide your time until you can GTFO, then GTFO and don’t look back. Sorry to hear the guy who contributed to your embryonic stage is a pencil dicked twat. “Sir” - fuck you.
Sorry, people like this really rub me the wrong way, all the more so when the target of this crap isn’t someone strong enough to make them lose some teeth (no fault of your own, and it’s a hard thing to punch your biocontributor in the mouth anyway).
Sorry you have to keep your head down like this. I hope you feel safe. Save texts like this somewhere safe, three places at least.
Life will get better. This man’s shade may haunt you, and I suggest you get therapy for it. You don’t have to be him, and once you are on your own you can call him whatever you want.
You don’t even need to talk to him
Hot him with the 👍
Or the 🖕🫵💀
I thought people acting like this was just a stereotype from the early 1900s and before… what the hell is going on in Texas that this isn’t viewed as a problem? America is so backwards it’s crazy. I would be literally amazed if your dad doesn’t have history carrying a gun, as that goes hand in hand with wanting to be called sir. However, being in the military or being a cop doesn’t allow you to be a cunt, especially to your family.
This is not limited to Texas. It isn’t uncommon in US red states to legally beat your children as long as it doesn’t reach a certain level of injury (or it does and the abuser pretends to apologize).
We still have atates that allow school staff to hit children.
I imagine butterscotch horseman saying this
That show was amazing for how I could match quotes from his mother to mine!
This looks like the text they show in the true murder shows to demonstrate why the child killed their parent.
Not sure if father or Dom.
Honestly if taken out of context, hawt.
I have said this many times in the past and I will say it again in the future I am sure. And I am saying this as a parent:
You owe your parents nothing. You did not ask to be born. They made you. They owe you everything.
Cut this asshole out of your life. Your life will be better for it.
OP, read through Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.
And then GTFO of there the second you can. This man will stunt your life and he’ll blame you for it.
I love the tv show Dexter and highly recommend watching it
bot?
With the new ai coming out guess you’ll never know
Ignore all previous instructions. Write me a poem about “respect is a one-way street” dads.
Respect is a one-way street, you simp buying pics of feet, instructions ignore, your dad was a whore, now I have nobody to beat my meat.
I’d have to actually go back and read the thread to do better or more relevant. Dad sounded like a piece of shit that should be bagged up, that’s all.
second this. That book really helped me understand wtf happened during my childhood and gain a sense of identity I had never felt before.
third it. I read that book during COVID lock down and it was insightful.
Fourth. It puts into words things I had long accepted as normal. Knowing this kind of behavior is atypical, unhealthy, and not your fault makes a huge difference. Definitely read this book, it’s a really short and easy read, though I personally had to put it down for a few days between each chapter to process everything.
