Today, I confided to my dad that since the recent breakup with my boyfriend of 3 months, I feel down all the time and life doesn't feel worth living anymore. His loving advice was for me to "grow the fuck up and get your sentimental head out of la-la land." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after being dumped by my boyfriend of two years, I poured my heart out to my dad. He nodded and looked sympathetic throughout. Afterwards, I asked him what I should do. He replied, "How the hell should I know?" and awkwardly left my room. FML
Today, I came home crying after my boyfriend dumped me for another girl. My dad told me to come tell him what was wrong. I sat down and let it all out, after which he looked up from his book, into my eyes, and gave me his loving advice: "Just cry about it and move on to another bastard." FML
Today, I was feeling down following a recent breakup. My dad tried to comfort me by patting me on the back and saying everyone goes through ups and downs, "Like when I found out your mum and I were having a boy." I'm their only son. FML
Today, I went to my father for advice. I've been seeing a wonderful girl for the past month, and I feel terrible about it, because I already have a girlfriend. He said "Kill yourself" and that if I "can't even do that right" then to get out of his house, because he disowns me. FML
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 having an emotional breakdown. I'm unhappy a lot and don't know why. It's very confusing. My dad yelled at me, telling me, "You have no right to be sad!" I'm even more confused now. Help. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me because he says I need to learn how to be happy without relying on him. I'm not a clinger, I'm just unhappy because my dad recently passed away, my best friend turned on me, and I lost out on the exchange program of my dreams. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend has been cheating on me. My dad noticed my depression and got me to tell him what was wrong. I told him everything, and trusting him to have an intelligent suggestion, I asked him what I should do. He shrugged and said, "Fuck, sue him, I dunno." FML
Today, my dad told me that I'm a weak and negative person because I suffer from depression and anxiety, then he told me to just snap out of it. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I broke up after three years. I came home and when my dad asked what was wrong, I told him. His first reaction was, "Well damn it. Who'll go fishing with me now?" FML

I agree with dad. Grow up. and if you're still a teenager, get over yourself, you'll find out soon enough the world doesn't end with every dumbass little boyfriend and that the world doesn't revolve around you. I hope you find true love some day.

solid advice. still, sorry you're feeling broken-hearted OP. Your Dad could have phrased his advice a lot better. There's a kernel of wisdom there though. If you live and breathe Hollywood film & TV drama then you can start to transplant those emotions on to your own life. Your Dad is just trying to shock you out of what he probably thinks is a self-absorbed existence. You should keep an open mind. He's been around a lot longer. Maybe he's right? Feel better OP.

I can see why you broke up... nobody likes someone is dramatic and whiney

I get that breakups hurt, especially when they're ones you didn't want or see coming, but your reaction is a little strong. 3 months into my relationship with my boyfriend we were still at the "are we official yet?" stage so calling him your boyfriend seems a bit premature anyway. Unless you're in school, in which case believe me when I say there will be many, many more guys and not all of them will be dicks. Most, but not all.
