Today, my dad asked me to lend him some money to buy his medication, since he's all but broke right now. He returned with nothing but a bottle of tequila. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, my dad asked to borrow some money off me, so I said okay. Later on, he told me he'll be using it to help divorce my mom. I pretty much just helped pay for my parents' divorce. FML
Today, as he was going out, I asked my father if he stop by the store and buy some tampons for me and toilet paper for the house, because we have been out for the last 5 days. He came home with a 30-pack of beer and cigarettes instead. I just started my time of the month and we have no more money. FML
Today, my step dad stole over $400 worth of savings from me. He spent it on alcohol, fireworks, and a very large sombrero. FML
Today, my dad has been hitting the bottle, and will only respond to anything I say in a slurred rap. FML
Today, my dad answered his Skype call by insisting he wasn’t giving me any more money. Thing is, I had been about to ask for money, again. I tried to open a shop in the middle of a pandemic, and I’m 4 months late on rent and utilities. I ended the call so he wouldn’t see his grown son crying. FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, I met my biological father for the first time. He seemed to be slightly intoxicated from the outset, and less than half an hour later, he had tried to intimidate me into "loaning" him several hundred euros for reasons he wouldn't tell me. So long, "dad". FML
Today, my dad called for the first time in six months. He needs someone to bail him out of jail. FML
Today, I found out my dad stole money from me when he was arrested for buying Oxycodone from an undercover cop. FML

I think it's time to cut your dad off.

Never loan money, especially to family

Confiscate his tequila, it's rightfully yours and I'm sure you'll find an occasion for it. Next time he asks you for money for something important, tell him you'll come with him and lend him the money by paying in the store. Also, your dad is an alcoholic and needs help.

If he's all but broke then why does he need to borrow money...

OP I understand that it's an unfortunate event that happened. But I think you should now ask the 'why' behind his action. May be he can understand that his acts are destabilizing your mental peace and happiness. God bless you.

I find it hard to believe you didn't see that coming a mile away.

Someone's an asshole. On another note, cheers on choice of name selection.
