Kids, Parents and Scary: It's not a phase, mom!

It's not a phase, mom!

By Anonymous - 26/06/2022 02:00

Today, my son wears all dark clothes, has gotten evil looking tattoos, and worships the devil. It was kinda cute when he was 13, slightly concerning when he turned 18, but now he’s 30 and I’m unsure if I should be more accepting of his lifestyle or just plain old shit scared. FML

I'm a rebel, mom!

By SheenaL - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my son is going through a rebellious phase. He's taken to wearing leather and chains, listening to death metal music all day in his room alone, and screaming at me in public places. He was fired from his part-time job for swearing at customers. My son is 29 years old. FML

Weird kid

Today, and for the last 4 days, my 19-year-old son has been wearing a metal full face skull helmet and a black robe, and has renamed himself Beast. He also bought a sword from god knows where and refuses to leave the house, because the outside scares him. I may need an exorcist. FML

Today, back when my son had an imaginary friend at 3 years-old it was cute; when he was 7 it was concerning; now he’s 15, still talks to him, and is refusing to see a therapist, even though I’m genuinely scared, it’s a thin line between imaginary friends and hearing voices in your head. FML

Today, after my son lost an eye in an accident, he has recently been fitted with a professionally made false eye. I thought I could trust him to take it seriously, but nope, turns out when getting the eye made, he secretly insisted the eye be a mixture of blood red and fire yellow to look demonic. FML

Edgy atheist era

By going Old Testament on his ass - 01/07/2024 08:00 - United States - New York

Today, my son announced he was leaving our religion. I told him that, as sad I was, that I accepted and loved him. He seemed disappointed, and I noticed him discreetly fiddling with a camera. A little snooping led me to his Reddit account, where he called us all, "inbred, illiterate, bible-thumpers." FML

Today, my son told me he got a tattoo to honour our German heritage. The bloody fool got an eagle and swastika on his arm. I had to explain to a 20-year-old what WWII was. He’s now researching laser removal. Idiot. FML

Possession

By Anonymous - 10/07/2023 18:00

Today, my mom wants me to get an exorcism because piercings, tattoos, my own car, my own career, moving out of her house, and wanting zero contact with her from now on are "sure signs of demonic possession", maybe even the influence of Lucifer himself. FML

It kind of depends on if he does it ironically or enthusiastically. It’s not that concerning if it’s like the satanic temple that’s more a political activism, as opposed to a cult with animal sacrifices. If he’s not hurting anyone or anything, then you’re probably fine, and just need to roll with it.

Does he actually worship Satan or are you one of those idiots who decides that someone worships Satan cause they wear black and got tattoos?

Were his people responsible for getting Roe v Wade overturned? Maybe his isn't the religion to be worried about.

True satanists are some of the nicest, well rounded people you'll meet. They treat others as they expect to be treated, believe in human rights and equality for all and holding corrupt governments and churches accountable, and don't judge people based on trivial things like black clothes and tattoos.

He doesn't care. Only God can judge him. ...Wait...

Is he being kind to others, treating everyone with respect, and being a good person? If so, what's to worry about? Everyone has their own path to follow--if your son is being a good person, who cares if he's goth?
