School, Drugs and Miscellaneous: Miscommunication

Miscommunication

By kay-z - 21/06/2014 20:32 - United States

Today, my dad heard that the guy who bullied me at school died recently of a drug overdose. For some reason, he thinks we were actually best friends, and thinks I'm doing drugs too. I'm now not allowed out of the house except to go to school. He won't listen to a word I say. FML

Today, my dad had a little too much to drink. When he's that drunk, he likes to pepper me with a lot of random questions. He asked if I've ever tried hard drugs, and if I want to die. I answered no to both of the questions, and he demanded to know why not. FML

Today, I learned that now that my mom is dead, and my dad doesn't need my emotional support during her illness anymore, he's going to go back to insulting me every time he talks to me. 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

Today, my parents said they know I don't do drugs or drink because I have no friends to do drugs or drink with. They are right. FML

Deep-seated resentment

By Boyufd - 14/05/2020 17:00

Today, I found out why my dad doesn't want my girlfriend coming to our house anymore. Apparently, her dad used to bully him a lot during high school and he's never gotten over it. He's threatened to disown me if she comes back over here. FML

Today, after having to move home with my parents because I'm broke and can't seem to find a job, my mom found out I'm on anti-depressants. She and my dad will no longer be helping with money because she doesn't like "drugs". FML

Not funny, son

By Embarassed - 15/03/2011 19:29 - United States

Today, while at a school anti-drugs assembly, the speaker asked everyone to stand up if they knew someone who had died of an overdose. As I stood up, my friend hit me in the side, making me laugh. I stood frozen under accusing glares while the speaker bitched me out for a good 5 minutes. 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

Make it clear to your dad why you hated his guts

My knee-jerk advice would be to prove that you're telling the truth via a drug test, but that would basically turn your home into a police state. I'm sorry, OP. Stick to your story. The truth will out. =/

Start leaving jars of piss around the house. If he asks what you're doing, tell him you are proving you're clean. Then he will get fed up with confining you and you'll be free;)

at least if you are stuck at home, you don't have to listen to everyone talking about what a great guy he was.

Possibly, you aren't communicating it clearly enough to him? Be sure to be firm and lucid when you tell him about it so he really gets it. So sorry Op. Best of luck to you. :)

That's not ironic, that's a coincidence. Irony is when something is the opposite of what you expect, not when a coincidence occurs between different situations.

I've never understood the notion that kids will never challenge their parents when they're laying down rules, when I was younger if my folks tried to punish me for something I didn't do I never hesitated to tell them where to shove it and carried on with my life. Simple denial isn't going to work, tell him that he's an asshole for assuming that you associate you with garbage, and look at challenging him him legally, whether it's a matter for social services or the police depends on how old you are but what he is doing is deprivation of liberty.

Some of us were trained from a very young age to obey and fear our parent's word and law. I'm 25 and I still fear my Dad when he yells at me, and I'm 1,000 away on a cell phone.

Differences in personalities I guess. I don't believe in infallibility so I distrust anyone who assumes they never make mistakes, and challenge anyone who thinks that their decision is the only option. As I said being blamed for things when you're innocent tends to fuel resentment so I have a more aggressive nature. Not in violence, but refusing to 'put up and shut up' and demanding debate (or argument more honestly) in order for my points to be proven or disproven.
