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

Kudos to you for trying to fix your relationship with your dad. I'm really sorry that he disappointed you though. You don't need him in your life.

Try not to speak to him again. He thought his wife and daughter wasn't worth his time, and he's not worth yours.

@26: If we want to get nitpicky here, no. "Me" is the subject the verb ("ditched") is acting upon, alongside "my mom", so that's the pronoun to use. Besides, if you take out the "my mom" part, the sentence would be "He ditched I when I was 5" and that sounds awkward as ****. OP is correct in using "me" in this instance. -A former English major

lol Exactly what I was coming in here to say. Although, I love it when people try to be clever and correct someone on the me/I thing and are wrong. :D

Thats a asshole move. Hopefully you kicked him out once that happened.

My birth father knocked my birth mom up with me and left before I was even born. He's a useless repeat drug user with a criminal record. My birth mom told me a couple of years ago that he resurfaced and wanted to meet me. I flatly refused. Maybe he's refined, but I guess I just can't bring myself to give him the benefit of the doubt. Anyways OP, you tried to patch things up and that is very commendable! I'm sorry to hear it turned out like that. Just remember, you are in control of your own life and future. If your father is going to act this immaturely than you have the choice to keep him out of your life!

Aww I'm sorry OP. Sometimes parents end up just not being fit for the job. Now get a taser and go get your money back.

I feel you, sweetheart. You did your best, but some people are so toxic, the healthiest thing to do is to cut them off - that goes for parents too. There will still be people who will judge you for taking the smart decision to cut off your father, but remember there are thousands of us who know what it's like, and we're with you. Stay strong, and remember that if your biological parent wasn't much more than a sperm donor, then you also haven't inherited any of his flaws, you are nothing like him, and you're stronger than this
