Today, my son wears all dark clothes, has gotten evil looking tattoos, and worships the devil. It was kinda cute when he was 13, slightly concerning when he turned 18, but now he’s 30 and I’m unsure if I should be more accepting of his lifestyle or just plain old shit scared. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML
Today, and for the last 4 days, my 19-year-old son has been wearing a metal full face skull helmet and a black robe, and has renamed himself Beast. He also bought a sword from god knows where and refuses to leave the house, because the outside scares him. I may need an exorcist. FML
Today, back when my son had an imaginary friend at 3 years-old it was cute; when he was 7 it was concerning; now he’s 15, still talks to him, and is refusing to see a therapist, even though I’m genuinely scared, it’s a thin line between imaginary friends and hearing voices in your head. FML
Today, my 18 year old son asked me to check if there were any monsters under his bed. FML
Today, my fiancé said we should get married in a Satanic temple. He's already found one he likes, and says we should get matching tattoos instead of rings. Never date a man who didn't have a rebellious period as a teenager, or it'll come out in his 30s. FML
Today, after my son lost an eye in an accident, he has recently been fitted with a professionally made false eye. I thought I could trust him to take it seriously, but nope, turns out when getting the eye made, he secretly insisted the eye be a mixture of blood red and fire yellow to look demonic. FML
Today, my teen son came home in a terrible mood because his girlfriend won’t listen to him. I thought he meant conversation-wise, but he meant she refused to obey his commands about what clothes and makeup she wears, who she can talk to, where she can go, and so forth. My son is an asshole. FML
Today, my son turned 18. He now calls me by my first name instead of "dad" and refuses to stop. FML
Today, thanks to my wife, our 11 year-old daughter is completely obsessed with serial killers, cults, and true crime. My wife thinks it’s funny and harmless; meanwhile I’m legitimately worried about our child’s mental health. FML
Today, I found out that my parents think my boyfriend is the devil. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It kind of depends on if he does it ironically or enthusiastically. It’s not that concerning if it’s like the satanic temple that’s more a political activism, as opposed to a cult with animal sacrifices. If he’s not hurting anyone or anything, then you’re probably fine, and just need to roll with it.

Does he actually worship Satan or are you one of those idiots who decides that someone worships Satan cause they wear black and got tattoos?

Were his people responsible for getting Roe v Wade overturned? Maybe his isn't the religion to be worried about.

True satanists are some of the nicest, well rounded people you'll meet. They treat others as they expect to be treated, believe in human rights and equality for all and holding corrupt governments and churches accountable, and don't judge people based on trivial things like black clothes and tattoos.

He doesn't care. Only God can judge him. ...Wait...

Is he being kind to others, treating everyone with respect, and being a good person? If so, what's to worry about? Everyone has their own path to follow--if your son is being a good person, who cares if he's goth?

Have you asked him what his religion means or are you worried for nothing?
