Money: Today, I went to my dad, hoping to confess something to him....

Today, I went to my dad, hoping to confess something to him. He quickly said that if I'd got my girlfriend pregnant, he'd kill me. That's exactly what happened. I had to make up a lie instead about stealing $50 from his wallet once as a kid, which he then demanded I pay back in full. FML

Today, I joked with my dad, saying I'd gotten my boyfriend pregnant. In response, he slapped me, threw my phone across the room, smashed my laptop, and then took a moment for what I'd said to sink in. FML

Today, my dad threatened to hit me if I didn't tell him what I had in my homework. He thinks I won't keep secrets from him this way. There's a reason I kept secrets in the first place. FML

Today, I had to go cap in hand to my father-in-law to ask for a loan so I could pay the mortgage, so now he thinks I’m a useless bum who can’t support my family. The truth is it was his daughter the gambler who wasted all our savings, but I can’t bring myself to upset him by telling him the truth. 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, while at home, I accidentally let out a big, loud fart near my dad. When he asked what the noise was, I blamed it on the cat. I remembered too late that we don't have a cat. My dad caught on quickly and grounded me for lying in front of him. FML

Today, I was using my dad's cell because I had broken mine. I was texting my boyfriend all day when my dad needed his phone back. I forgot to tell my boyfriend that my dad would be using the phone. My boyfriend then texted graphically what he wanted to do to my dad. FML

Today, I told my dad I couldn't make the trip to see him this weekend because I had to work. I surprised him by driving ten hours, and while he was out, I let myself in with my key and hid behind the couch for when he came in. He walked in. I jumped out. I then had to call 911. FML

Today, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML

Today, I slipped money into my mother's purse after she refused to let me pay for lunch. She caught me in the act and thought I was stealing money from her instead. FML

You should just tell him. Deal with the consequences like a man.

Maybe he will accept a new born child in exchange for the fifty dollars..?

You have to tell him sooner or later. Avoiding the problem won't solve anything and now you're down 50 dollars!

Assuming you are an adult ("once when I was a kid"), he has no real business having murderous intents towards you because of something that's your problem (unless you're asking him for money or are dependent on him economically, something of the like.) So just tell him, straight up, with no apologetic attitudes. If I'm wrong and you're too young to handle this alone, tell him anyways because pregnancies are not exactly a discreet matter and he'd find out about it eventually anyways. And you wouldn't be short of 50 bucks, more money for child-care.

While I think you deserve it, I also can't help feeling bad for you.

I wonder why no one made an abortion comment... It seems to be the easiest and best solution to this problem.

The truth will set you free my friend. The longer you hide it the worse the situation.

If you are that scared of getting scolded by your parent over something that is your own problem and burden, you are definitely not ready to be a parent. F the kid's life.

maybe the reason your dad said so was because he already knew. but you pissed him off when you could not bring youself to tell the truth so he made you pay the money as payback

He'll eventually find out...the baby will come one day...unless you plan on hiding that too?! https://carabella.kitsylane.com/join/CL0s4w2

Just don't tell him for the rest of nine months and then deny ownership of the baby and the problem you created. Or be a man. I'm sure Grandpa will want to be in the baby's life, if annoyed at you.
