Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML

Great talk, Dad
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

Today, I was pulled aside by my father's new wife and told, "You're not your dad's favorite anymore and you need to stop acting like it." FML

Welcome home!
Today, I had an appointment. After 2 hours of waiting in the sun, my mom finally picked me up and lectured me on how irresponsible my dad was for not communicating with her. Not 5 minutes after I got home, my dad showed up and gave me the same exact lecture about my mom. FML

Today, my father got married. He left me a voicemail to tell me all about it. FML

Angry man
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
The nice guy finishing last
Are you kidding me?
Today, my mom talked me into going to a funeral since my dad wouldn't go. It was for one of her classmates. When it was our time to view the casket, we paused in front of it for a second before my mom leans over to me and says, "What if I told you that was really your dad?" FML

Today, I visited my dad. He gave the, "You live under my roof, you follow my rules" lecture since I didn't do my "chores". I moved out 3 years ago. FML

Today, I was watching a movie with my family in which a character said "Fuck you, dad." My dad then slapped me over the head to get my attention and said, "Never talk to your father like that." Okay, dad. FML

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
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

Dementia?
Today, my dad called me a pussy and said I wasn't a real man, simply because I hugged and kissed my son and told him that I loved him. It gets even better though. My dad was openly affectionate and loving to me when I was a kid, then somewhere along the line, he became this horrible person. Can't go no contact. FML

Sorry, but I had that talk with my mom and dad a few years ago. If he is going to act like that, then he isn't worth being your 'dad'. Mine told me that even though there was no blood, I was still his.

It doesn't say that the 'dad' disowned OP. He very well could have said the same thing and OP could just be upset about hearing the information. No need to make the dad out to be the bad guy in this one.

Not saying he is.

Either we are missing some information here or your dads one hell of a magician.

Even if he isn't your biological dad, he raised you like his own son.

If he's leaving then damn dude that sucks If he's your adopted father then really nothing changes. He'll still always be there for you :-)

Doesn't matter, the father isn't the one who makes the baby, it's the one who raises him.

Any prick can be a father, there isn't much work involved. The years of feeding, doctor's visits, learning to walk, first day of school... staying through all that makes you a dad.

Yeah, sorry 36--I think you have it exactly backwards, though. Any guy can be a father, but it takes a little (lot) of work to be a dad. :)

60 - How does 36 have it backward? You basically reiterated what they said.

Yes OP is real. And it's possible that they are adopted. And it's possible OP doesn't have a mom, or she was out, or she was there, or it is irrelevant to OP. Think dammit!
