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

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

Ironic

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

They tried to make me go to rehab…

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?

The important thing is that you realized you needed help and you took initiative. Ignore your dad and anyone else who's putting you down and focus on getting the help you need.

She should divorce him. You're an idiot to get addicted to meth though.

There are plenty of intelligent people with drug addictions. No one wakes up one morning and says "I think I'd like to get addicted to meth today!" It only takes one lapse in judgement, one stupid mistake, and then it spirals downward from there. Addiction is a disease, not a choice. The only choice they have after becoming addicted is to continue as they are until they die from it, or seek help. The right choice is obvious to someone outside of the situation, but it's way easier said than done. I applaud OP for recognizing the problem and taking charge of his/her life.

Congratulations on taking the big step of getting help! Don't listen to what your dad says- you're actively taking charge and changing your life for the better, so who cares what anyone else thinks?

you're not a loser. the fact that you have enough will power to give up meth means you are very determined. keep it up!

Wanting to change is the first step to rejoining society, so good on you OP. You're already the better man between you and your dad.

Actually, I just re-read it. Unless voluntary rehab works different from what I know, doesn't coming back after one day mean you failed in kicking the habit?
