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?

It's time to get a job and move on if you are old enough. Find a way to get out of that destructive environment, and please stop caring about what your dad says. Best of luck!

you SAW your mother supporting you and your (please excuse my language) piece of shit dad and instead of rising up in life and making her proud of her decision to not walk away on you (please excuse my language) bums... you got so addicted to meth that you had to go through rehab.. that's just low [strictly a personal opinion].. She should have left you people..

He voluntarily went into rehab, so he's not that bad. He wants to get better, don't put him down for that.

What douchebag. He is obviously trying to turn his life around by going to rehab. What will you do if someone you love went into rehab? Just leave them?

Congrats on trying to get clean. It's a long hard road but worth it. And you can do it. Just make it an absolute goal and enjoy the little things in each moment as they will be your fuel to get to your destination.

That's awful. Kudos to you, though, for bettering yourself. Good luck!

I dare say it's because you're showing him up by taking control of your life and trying to better yourself, OP. Ignore him and keep at it. Eventually you'll have a wonderful life and he will still be bitter and useless.
