Great parenting, dude

Today, my dad told me that I'm nothing but a burden because I can't work, and disability is worth nothing. It's not my fault I ended up in an abusive foster home that left me with spinal cord damage. FML

Today, while struggling to find a job that will accommodate my disabilities, an acquaintance ranted at me about how nobody wants to work hard, and they have to earn what they get. This chucklefuck works for his father, will inherit a multi-million dollar business, and bought his house from his aunt. FML

Today, my dad called me a "worthless human being", and told me that I'm "better off committing crimes and living life in a prison cell", all because I haven't gotten into the industry I studied for right out of college. I'm currently at a temp job doing accounting. FML

Today, I drove my dad to Walmart to do some shopping. His leg is still in a cast after an accident, so I helped him to the last mobility scooter. A guy whose only disability was clearly Fat-Fuck Syndrome then yelled at us, claiming he needed it more and that my dad was a faker. FML

Today, my dad told me that I'm a weak and negative person because I suffer from depression and anxiety, then he told me to just snap out of it. FML

Today, my aunt informed me that she thinks I'm faking the debilitating disease I've had for the past 13 years. Apparently she thinks I just don't want to go to college or get a job, and that I like living on disability. She also added that my entire extended family agrees with her. FML

Today, my dad completely disregards my mental health, insists mental disorders are just excuses for laziness in my generation, so even though I have crippling depression, at times he has no sympathy and will mercilessly bully me into “snapping out of it” and to "get a damn job already." FML

Today, I finally had it out with my abusive father. I spent almost an hour detailing about how he constantly humiliates me in public, treats me like slime, and hits me at random when he's in a bad mood. His response was, "Quit being such a wimp" because I'm "not female." Mom took his side. I'm 16 and can't move out. FML

Today, my dad called me a "deadbeat loser" after I came back from my first day of voluntary rehab for my meth problem. He's never had a job in his life and sits on the sofa all day, smoking weed and playing video games, all on my mom's salary. FML

Today, I was at work with my dad. He told me the only reason he's letting me work with him over the summer is because I'm a friendless loser, and he didn't want me staying home getting fatter. FML

Today, my father told me that my mental health issues, which have been confirmed by multiple doctors and tests, are all caused by the fact that I'm slightly overweight and don't exercise a lot. FML

You have a dad but ended up in a foster home? That's a man who's worth nothing. His opinion has no value.

I have to agree - if you were in a foster home, it's generally your parents' fault for being an unfit parent. And in this case your father appears to be emotionally toxic and abusive, kind of proving the point. It's certainly not your fault that the foster parents were abusive in such a major way. I'm sorry for you, and don't let his judgement determine your value as a human being. You have value independent of the disability, and deserve love, human dignity and the ability to fulfill your potential as best as your disability will allow.

I’ve got a back injury with ton’s of pain. What I may suggest may sound insulting, but it’s not. I think you should find out what medical help you can get in order to be most active, then find something you can do from home. Good with computers/electronics? Put in a resume to do remote tech support (I’m planning this now, and I used to be an engineer and SysAdmin at Google!). Or start learning a hobby and turn it into a business. There are grants and organizations that help disabled people setup a new business and you can get funding for needs like materials, tools, etc. spine injury or not, if you can talk on a phone or headset normally, tons of assistive devices exist and trackballs only take two fingers to move.
