Today, my dad sat me and my sister down and give us a "talk". More like an angry irrational rant. He forbade us from being gay, marrying a Muslim or a black person, demanded kids from both of us, and threatened to disown us if we didn't. Where's my free will? FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't agree to convert to their new brand of Christianity. This is a day after they ranted at me about how I should speak my mind more and not let myself be controlled by other people. FML
Today, my father once again sat me and my boyfriend of a year down to have another "talk." These "talks" are always something negative against our relationship, and how it’s not up to his standards. We’ve explained numerous times why he’s wrong. My father is about to make me single. FML
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, my father lectured me on the “sanctity of marriage” while his third wife bawled in the corner. I'm just gay, not a raging cunt. FML
Today, my husband and I recently decided not to have kids, because neither of us like children. Learning this, my dad wrote me out of his will and my mother swore on the Bible in church that she’s never going to speak to me again until I obey God's word and start multiplying. FML
Today, my dad made me and my boyfriend break up. Not because he was a bad influence, but because I was. FML
Today, I had to endure my father going on a sexist rant about how women shouldn't be allowed to go to university because it's "unrealistic" since "all women" become stay-at-home mums. This is the same man who threatened to kick me out if I dropped out of uni. FML
Today, I was talking to my dad about how I don’t think I love my fiancé anymore. He sat me down and gave me a severe talking to that amounted to, “We’re a respectable religious family, he’ll be a good husband, you’ll make babies and grow old together. You don’t need to love him to do that.“ FML
Today, my son got angry when he came out as gay and my husband and I told him that we loved him no matter what. Turned out he wanted us to reject him so he could have a sob story and make people feel sorry for him. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML

Hopefully they were really bad dad jokes.

Yikes. Just be glad you grew up with better values! Hopefully your Dad will see how misguided he's being in the future.

I'll never understand parents disowning their children.

Is your dad Filipino by any chance? Some of my family is like that. Sorry though that sucks.

Sooooooo? Disown me. If I want to date a black Muslim man, what business is it of his? Oh and with that setup, good luck with grandkids. BTW, Dad needs to re-read the new testament.

You love who you love. But if you don't want kids then don't have kids. I definitely don't want any. They're loud, messy, annoying, needy, and a huge financial burden. Yeah no thank you.

Agreed, no one should be forced to have children just because their parents pressure them. Those children will only be regrets. My mom kept telling me that I'll have children and that she wanted me to have some, and I just told her that I'm not having any at all. She'll have grandpuppies from me! I think she's stopped to consider my feelings on children after I helped her watch my nieces and nephews. I was about to go insane, and was immensely stressed just by being around them.

Marry a black Muslim and don't give him any grandchildren.

I get the others, but why can't you marry a black person?? That's just racist.
