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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

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

Nice to know
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

I believe we're missing a crucial piece of information here.

So are you adopted or is he not your biological father? Either way I am sorry

Well...that escalated quickly!

That's pretty vague and it doesn't make any sense.

OP, Damn! I can't even begin to feel your pain, but... Your dad had the courage to give you some of the worst news ever. Just because he is not your biological parent does not diminish his role in your life. If you both believe and care, you are family. The man who helped create you is looking for you, then maybe you could meet him with both your parents. You are loved and special to your folks. Keep that close in your heart.

The day you were so bad your dad stopped loving you

This is obviously vague for dramatic effect - and that works - but it would be nice if the OP could stop by and clarify. I would reiterate what is already said above: It's not the conception that makes him a parent. It's the years of being there and loving you and providing for you and worrying about you and helping you in a thousand different ways that makes him your dad. Arguably more so if he knew you weren't his biological child.

that's an awkward talk no doubt

If you thought he was your dad, he obviously raised you and took care of you... That's what a dad does, whether he's your biological father or not.
