Today, my dad called me a "deadbeat loser" after I came back from my first day of voluntary rehab for my meth problem. He's never had a job in his life and sits on the sofa all day, smoking weed and playing video games, all on my mom's salary. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad found out I recently tried weed. He called me a useless waste of air and grounded me for the rest of the year. Then he went outside and smoked his third cigarette of the morning. 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
Today, my father has been unemployed for 8 of my parents' 25 years of marriage, and my mom still supports him. I've been unemployed for three months and my mom is kicking me out. The difference is, I'm actually applying places. He just plays video games. FML
Today, my dad screamed at me because I've been "spending too much money". He's been out of a job for 4 months and I've been giving him 300 dollars a month to help pay for bills... and his beer. FML
Today, as I was leaving home for my mall kiosk job, my dad asked me where I was off to. When I said I was going to work, he tossed an empty beer bottle to the floor, belched, and said "Bah! Get a REAL job!" He's unemployed and living in my apartment. FML
Today, my dad snooped at my payslip and now he keeps calling me a tight cunt who should contribute more. This from the man who smokes 50 a day but hasn’t had full-time employment since 2009. Plus I pay rent, and the gas and electric when he can’t afford to, which is every month. FML
Today, I invited my deadbeat dad over for dinner, hoping we could resolve our issues and build a proper relationship. Just minutes after he arrived, I caught him stealing money from my purse. He actually said I owe him for raising me. He ditched my mom and me when I was 5. 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 father got out of rehab for his alcoholism. This would be great if he hadn't started drinking the moment he got home. FML

Good for you for getting clean. Why care what he says if he's such a loser?

#1 did you miss the part where he just got out of voluntary rehab?

Why hasn't his ass been kicked out yet? And for what it's worth, at least you're doing something about your problem, OP. Best of luck to you.

that sounds very rich coming from your dad but he is a great example of where you could end up if you dont halt in your tracks now. good luck with the rehab and dont make things worse for your mum.

Ur on meth! U really have no argument

Firstly, *you're and *you. Secondly, he's going to rehab to fight his meth addiction so at least he's doing something about it. He's changing his life for the better. His father however, is making no effort whatsoever to change his deadbeat lifestyle. So yes, OP actually does have a valid argument.

You should be proud of this OP! i know a handful of people who got introduced into the hard stuff and never got help until they were forced too. i also know a handful of people who did it by themselves like OP in fact Im dating one right now. Nothing gains my respect more then those who can admit they have a problem and they go fix it. and for those of you wondering he hasnt been on the hard stuff since he got himself help. and he doesnt associate with anyone who still has the hard stuff, hasnt since before he met me. Good job op, be proud keep up the good work

I've never seen such a serious case of irony.

It sucks to be you OP, but hey, at least you're trying to do something about your issues. Best of luck to you with rehab, and I hope that you can get (and stay) clean without too much trouble!
