Today, my dad heard that the guy who bullied me at school died recently of a drug overdose. For some reason, he thinks we were actually best friends, and thinks I'm doing drugs too. I'm now not allowed out of the house except to go to school. He won't listen to a word I say. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my dad had a little too much to drink. When he's that drunk, he likes to pepper me with a lot of random questions. He asked if I've ever tried hard drugs, and if I want to die. I answered no to both of the questions, and he demanded to know why not. FML
Today, I learned that now that my mom is dead, and my dad doesn't need my emotional support during her illness anymore, he's going to go back to insulting me every time he talks to me. FML
Today, my dad sat me down and angrily accused me of doing drugs, all because he's noticed I've recently become a lot more energetic and emotional than usual. The truth is, I'd been smoking weed daily for 3 years and just decided to never smoke it again 2 weeks ago. FML
Today, my dad yelled at me for using legal marijuana to help treat my potentially terminal cancer, which is kind of hypocritical for the man who spent significant portions of my childhood in jail for selling cocaine to rich high school kids. FML
Today, my parents said they know I don't do drugs or drink because I have no friends to do drugs or drink with. They are right. FML
Today, I found out why my dad doesn't want my girlfriend coming to our house anymore. Apparently, her dad used to bully him a lot during high school and he's never gotten over it. He's threatened to disown me if she comes back over here. FML
Today, after having to move home with my parents because I'm broke and can't seem to find a job, my mom found out I'm on anti-depressants. She and my dad will no longer be helping with money because she doesn't like "drugs". FML
Today, while at a school anti-drugs assembly, the speaker asked everyone to stand up if they knew someone who had died of an overdose. As I stood up, my friend hit me in the side, making me laugh. I stood frozen under accusing glares while the speaker bitched me out for a good 5 minutes. FML
Today, I found out my dad stole money from me when he was arrested for buying Oxycodone from an undercover cop. FML
Today, my mom told me she's a drug addict, sold my bed to buy meth, and then lectured me about how I should be okay with it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Make it clear to your dad why you hated his guts

My knee-jerk advice would be to prove that you're telling the truth via a drug test, but that would basically turn your home into a police state. I'm sorry, OP. Stick to your story. The truth will out. =/

It's funny how you're still tormented by your bully even after his death. Bull level: afterlife

OP might also want to prove his innocence with a drug test?

@30 And then next time he has to "prove" something to his dad? Then what? Not only does it set up a system of "guilty until proven innocent," it also erodes any implicit trust between parent and child. On a macro scale, it's basically safety vs. freedom. If he gives up his "rights" now, what will he have left in the future. tl;dr: Bro's going to have to pee in a cup every day he lives with his dad.

#43 I feel like you are extremely overreacting. Who cares if he has to "prove his innocence". That would be a lot better then being grounded for no reason.

Dude you need to straight up tell your dad he was a dick to you and you were never friends with him, and if that doesn't work I guess you're out of luck

he thinks you came down with the bully version of stockholm syndrome.

Obviously he gave himself a concussion with a wooden plank prior to hearing about this. That would explain the stupidity/memory loss.

Try getting a friend to vouch for you. Or get a drug test if it's that bad.
Marlee141717 9
Thats horrible. I hope you can convince him to believe you.

Plot twist: OP killed the guy and covered it up with a "drug overdose"

He sprinkled some crack on the dead body.

Plot twist: OP IS THE ONE WHO KNOCKS.

Yes. Ringing the doorbell disturbs the dogs.

Knocking is worse

Try to talk to your mom, if that's possible? Maybe she can help him see some sense. If you only live with your dad, well.. Good luck. FYl
