Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my dad ate my pet rabbit two years ago. He said he ran away. FML
Today, my six year-old daughter discovered the family's pet rabbit in the basement freezer. The rabbit had died almost a year ago, and we'd stored it in the freezer, intending to bury it later. Here's to the trauma of losing the family pet. Twice. FML
Today, I drove home on my birthday, and my mom said she'd meet me there. I was a little surprised to get home and find she wasn't there, but even more shocked to see my rabbit run over in my driveway. Turns out he'd gotten loose and my mom had run him over, panicked, and left. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents, and now they have a dead rabbit because I sat on it. FML
Today, I found out that when I was 4 I killed my bunny by drowning it. Apparently, my aunt bribed me to do it because it pooped in her shoes. FML
Today, my dog proudly brought home a rabbit he'd killed. The same rabbit that belongs to my neighbor's daughter. FML
Today, after I warned my son repeatedly that if he wanted a rabbit he had to clean and feed it, I checked on it. It wasn’t just dead, it was dead and rotting in a pool of its own pee and faeces. I yelled at him, but he just shrugged and told me rabbits are boring and he forgot it was even there. FML
Today, my dad killed my pet rats. They were playing on the sofa, and he thought they were vermin. This would have been understandable if the reason he came over wasn't to meet them, and they hadn't been wearing bright pink walking harnesses. FML
Today, I got married. I received a beautifully wrapped gift from my dad. I was full of excitement until I opened it and found two taxidermied rabbits. The ones I had when I was in the fifth grade. FML
Today, my dad and I were in the car when a rabbit scurried across the road, just missing us. My dad turned and said to me, "Well, it's good we didn't hit him. He gets to live another day." I then looked in the rear view mirror to see the rabbit running away from the cross traffic, only to be hit by the car behind us. FML

Silly Dad, rabbits are for kids.

That sucks. Hopefully when he was eating it, he found several hares in it.

Be mad all you want, OP. even if your dad is dead now, you only just found out and you are entitled to a little angry time to get over it.

That's a bit mortifying that he ate your pet rabbit. Sorry that happened OP.

Well I hope he killed it first.

I'm a bit confused by how this was worded, so the dad are the rabbit but the dad is dead?

I'm pretty sure OP is saying that his father ate his rabbit when he, OP, was six years old. It's not clear how many years it's been since that time, but OP is saying it's been five years since his father died and he just recently found out what happened to his pet rabbit when he was six years old.

Logically speaking, to not be mad at your dad for eating the rabbit because your dad has been dead for five years makes more sense than not being mad because the rabbit's been dead for five years.

What the actual flamingo? How does that happen? WHY would you eat your child's pet rabbit? That is so awful! I understand eating wild rabbits but to eat a pet that your kid loved is awful! I am so sorry!

There is something about rabbit on christmas. not sure about this instance. a Dutch Christmas song us about this. done by a comic. but flappy is about a father serving the kids rabbit at Christmas.

You can be mad at him regardless of time passing between the event and you finding out about it. For you the betrayal of parent child trust is fresh and it is a pretty messed up thing to do in my opinion.

You can still be mad at a dead person, you even win all the arguments!

"The bunny the bunny woh I ate the bunny I didn't eat my soup or my bread just the bunny" --Guess what dad was barbecuing while you were watching those damn Veggie Tales!

No matter how long ago it happened, or how long ago he passed, he did something awful, lied about it, and kept up the lie essentially right up to today. You CAN be angry, at least for a time. Assuming you had a good relationship with him, you will want to find a way to forgive and get past it to preserve your good memories, but don't beat yourself up for going through the natural, human reactions of having been wronged.
