Today, my father finally achieved his long-held goal. He has legally disowned me. FML
I agree, your life sucks 35 399
You deserved it 3 255

_kyleG_ tells us more.

An explanation is probably in order here. I am mentally and socially handicapped, brainwashed, and a worthless burden. My father is a pillar of the community, a family man, and loves his poor, misguided child dearly. -according to dear old dad, at any rate. So, fact check: I've just graduated high school with a 3.9 and lots of AP credits. I'll be going to college on academic scholarship as a biology major this fall. I'm currently working full time in auto finance. Also, I'm dating the most beautiful girl in the world. My father(or ex-father?) is an abusive passive-aggressive narcissist. The last time I saw him, the police had to intervene so I could leave school without being forced to go with him. He didn't want to pay child support any longer, so the moment I turned 18, he filed for emancipation. I have a court date in about a month, to get rid of the bastard's name and take my mother's maiden name. I'm happy, and this is all for the best. Thank you all for your kind words- this community is awesome :)

Ouch, you are probably better of without him.

I'd say you didn't deserve something as awful as to be disowned, but you did. You so did. You deserved to have that toxic figure out of your life. You deserve to not be tied to him in any way. It really ******* sucks but at least he's not dragging you down anymore. Maybe someday he'll regret losing your amazing self or maybe he won't ever look back. Either way he doesn't deserve another ounce of concern or caring from you, love.

sorry that you got disowned by your parent.

Well, he lives in a 6,000 square foot house...

Bitch wtf who would disown thier own child for money, best in life OP!

Doesn't matter if he needed the money, you never disown your child

I understand the pain man. My dad called the school to see if I had turned 18, so that he didn't have to pay child support on me anymore. That was the first time I'd heard from him in 10 years.

I don't see this as a bad thing, if he's that much of an asshole then you're way better off! It's definitely a win, for you. People like him don't even deserve to have children!

Good. Going to funerals sucks and that's one less funeral you'll have to go to.

Usually, the YDI button is a bad thing, but in this case, you really deserved to have such a horrible person out of your life.

I read your story and you sound awesome! Your dad sounds like a gigantic asshole and a sperm donor. Now, make it your life's goal to be everything he isn't. Hugs, encouragement, and fist bumps from all of us!

Have you been disowned or have you been emancipated? Those aren't the same... By your account, you're 18 now. Embrace your freedom! You shouldn't be upset that your father doesn't choose to continue supporting you, being supported by someone else is being dependent, and I'm hoping you welcome your INdependence!
