Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML
I agree, your life sucks 37 720
You deserved it 3 795

call me oldschool,but this is what I did when my dad told me to get out and get a job: 1. i moved out. 2.i got a job.

Geez, what crawled up his butt and died? Does he normally show support OP or does he not? If he doesn't then maybe you should have figured he'd respond this way? Be proud you did so well! Go celebrate with your friends instead! Many congratulations! :D

Your dad is freaking awesome!!!

It seems he doesn't value education very high. Time to high-tail out of there, maybe not burn all those bridges, but there's nothing there for you anymore. Leave, it's the best solution for all of you. And congratulations on the university! (PS: I know exactly how you feel!)

I have a great dad who even today would do anything to help me or his granddaughter, and I would do the same for him. I sure as hell won't treat my daughter like the OP's POS dad. If your idea of parenting is all about getting your children out of the house as quickly as possible, then learn to use birth control.

well, Shakespeare did say that expectations are the root of all heartache, just don't expect anything from anyone and your life will be much easier .. congratulations, I wish you the best in life :)

Wow, your dad's an asshole.... congratulations on the uni placement and the scholarship

Congratulations. I know that what he said right now and im sure its not the first off the wall Shitty parenting skills he has practiced but that will make you a stronger parent if not decide to have children.

Sorry that's awful. Maybe he's jealous that his life didn't turn out that way, or that he didn't get many opportunities. Either way you deserve to go to that school, so don't let him get you down! He's being an ass wipe.

Congrats!! I know you tried hard for everything, and you deserve the great opportunity. You will 'get the hell out of his house' anyway if you go to college, so don't ever get bothered by your dad. Spend your summer with study abroad, internship, summer classes, volunteering, experience, etc, so you won't need to spend summer with your dad.... Wish my best for your future. Going to the prestigious college doesn't guarantee a good life, but it sure give a great education, and opportunities - you will do a great job!
