Today, on my 21st birthday, my dad handed me £12,000 and revealed he’d been saving my rent. When I asked what for, he told me it was to rent my first house because now I’m 21, he’s throwing my ass out. Neither me or nor my mom could talk him round, and unless I’m out by next week, he’ll start smashing my possessions. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my 21st birthday. I got a call from my deadbeat dad, who I thought had finally mellowed and had something nice to say. Nope; he just told me I'm 21 years a disappointment, then hung up. FML
Today, I decided it was time to start looking for my own place and finally gain my full independence. My mom agreed happily without hesitation, which was surprising, but not anywhere near as surprising as finding out I have one day to get my shit together and leave. FML
Today, in response to the guy whose son told him to fuck off for disturbing his one day off a week, my son spent literally his entire savings account for a deposit on a shitbox one bedroom house because he’s sick of his dad finding him things to do every ten minutes, and I don’t even blame him. FML
Today, my dad refuses to let me inherit all of his money, which might just put a roof over my head when I’m older. *His* money? Well, actually, he inherited it. FML
Today, my parents are calling me a spoilt brat and threatening to disown me if I don't let my sister, her six kids, and freshly out of jail boyfriend move into the house I spent 10 years working my ass off to buy without having a mortgage. Sis said I can sleep on the lounge as long as I pay rent. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday and my dad has decided to take away my ID in fear that if I have even one drink to celebrate I'll become a raging alcoholic. FML
Today, I caught my dad stealing my money again, after I'd warned him he was on his last chance. I threw him out, since he’s been sleeping rough on my sofa. He reported me to the authorities for "elder abuse" and showed them fresh bruises I know the conniving old bastard gave himself. I was handcuffed. FML
Today, it's my sixteenth birthday. The only gift I got was a bill from my parents. Apparently, the rent is due on the 1st. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My parents, with whom I live, told me that they didn't get me anything, but instead they said they would knock off a bit of the housekeeping I owe them. FML
Today, I finally told my dad that he owes me over 400 dollars, and that I need it or else I'd get kicked out of my apartment. He only gave me 70 and said to get a better job. FML

It's nice he's kicking you out with a little cash on hand. Lots of parents start the eviction process at 18.

You're 21 why would you want to live with your parents? You are lucky you got to leave with money..

Since you're complaining about this, I'm assuming you feel you're not ready to move out yet. That's ****** up if that's the case.

well technically speaking since you were paying rent and that's obviously your home address you're covered by renters rights he can't just kick you out regardless if he gave the rent back it was under the presumption you were paying rent.

Exactly. OP needs to call the police and report his father for illegal eviction and threats to his property. OP's mother is a witness.

What kind of horrible people are you to want to throw their children out of the house? Not to mention that the father didn’t talk about it to his wife, and his threat to smash belongings is absolutely mad.

I hope you're looking for a place to live.

that's at least 6 months rent, and you're 21... where is he wrong?

It can take far more time than a month to find housing AND it was sudden and unknown

In canada rent is typically between 1300 to 2500 a month plus utilities.

You're 21. Dude, it's time. He's giving you a starter fund and not kicking you out with no money. Children need to move out when they are adults. Get over yourself and grow up. Go be an adult.
