Well fuck, we got a Flanders in the room.
My dad also made mistakes in the past, but he is still a part of the family. I can kind of see where this confession is coming from, except my dad just sucks. He is a seflsih racist bigot who puts me down every chance he gets, and is always looking for a way to scam others or game the system. I go out of my way to avoid him. So in a way I envy those with absentee fathers!Man, I was thinking about this this morning. I'm glad that my kids don't have to go through this. I've been blessed with a steady/drama-free dad so it's sorta like talking to someone who's never truly been hungry about starvation, I can get it must be hard but I'd be lying if I said I truly understood.
For me I've never done any drugs but I really can't get riled up about someone else's drug use. I don't get people that do.
Also:
I love that someone used the confessional to subscribe to Dish network.
At least have some class, go DirectTv.

Just about fifteen minutes ago he called to tell me my father's day present to him sucked and I am going nowhere in life, then complained I haven't come to visit him since Easter. Man, I hate him.
Because I am feeling pretty pissed off, here is a quick non-anon confession/rant:
My junior year of college I was really struggling financially. I was working two part time jobs and taking a full course load. I was living basically paycheck to paycheck, with rent and tuition taking up a huge chunk of my finances. When my dad found out about that, he told me I could ask him anytime for help.
I hate asking anyone for help, let alone my superiority-complexed father, but about two weeks after this I could not deal with the debt anymore. I didn't want to have to take out a loan, but I was sick of fast food and ramen, and I was having trouble keeping up on rent. So I call up my dad.
"I think I will have to take you up on that offer for help. I don't need much, maybe a couple hundred, and I will pay you back when I can."
"About that, I don't think I'll be able to help out after all."
"Even just like $50 would be a huge help."
"Yeah, I just bought a grand piano. It's an antique, from 1904. $20,000, and another $10,000 to have it restored."
"What? Why?"
"What do you mean why?"
I think I just hung up at that point. No one in my family even plays piano. To this day he has the thing, a full sized antique grand piano, in the front room of his house. It is in great condition, looks brand new, and has gold trim all around the edges. He gets it tuned twice a year. It has never been played.
I am the only person in my family to have graduated college, outside of my mother (who went back as a student in her late 30s -- she and I started around the same time). My little brother is a college drop out with several arrests and couple stints of rehab under his belt. He's spent time as a drug dealer, hasn't held a single job for over a year, and has severe anger management problems. Three months ago my dad threw a party for him and bought him a house -- just because.
I don't know why my dad doesn't like me. I don't know that I am even upset about it. It's clear I am a disappointment to him, but I don't know why, and he has never even attempted to elaborate on what his problems with me are. He always just yells at me to "get it together," or "grow up," but I always feel like I am doing the best I can. I spent most of my childhood picking up his slack and fixing his fuck ups, to the point where I really don't feel like I had a childhood at all. I worked for him at the family business starting in sixth grade, and spent my nights, 4p-9p, nearly every day through my senior year of high school, working for him as a waiter and dishwasher for literally no pay (until I got a car, at which point he started giving me $50 a week for gas).
When I left home at 17 years old, he hired on one of my younger brothers and paid him the legal minimum wage. It's like he goes out of his way to make it obvious I'm being shorted.
Last real conversation I had with him he lamented my lack of manners, and how I don't treat him with any respect. All the while I'm biting my tongue and thinking to myself, "that's only because you are a massive asshole."
Sometimes it feels like I am in the movie Hot Rod and all I want to do is beat him in a fight.
I remember when I was real young, maybe 10 or 11, I made a bet against him and won (it was something stupid, like what the dates were for changing the clock for daylight savings time). He paid out $50 and I remember him saying to me, "I know you wouldn't give this to me if you lost, but I'm giving it to you because that's what a real man does."
I gotta stop adding to this. Getting way off track. Just, man, fuck my dad. I do not know a single other person who is as much of a fuck as he is.

Generally I agree, but there is a certain breed of drug user (on gaf and in real life) who feels the need to brag about how awesome it is, and how people who haven't tried it must be super uptight and 'haven't really lived/ experienced the truth'. That is really annoying, especially when it doesn't even relate to the conversation at hand.

I had a manager sorta like this once. He hated all the people that were really good at what they did and he'd pull them into halls and yell at them. But people that were terrible he'd shelter and be the first to defend them. It totally drove me crazy until a co-worker explained it to me. He liked to have a project. A bad person was a person he could make better and thereby make himself look better, but a good person couldn't be made better easily, so he had to tear them down to look good.

Dude, my dad wasn't perfect but your dad is a total dick. And I'm sorry that you had to have someone like that as your father figure, who is supposed to be a pillar of support in your life. But at least it doesn't seem like you have a complex where you can't understand why you can't make him happy or love you without judging you, or at very least not being a dick. You seem to have sized him up pretty well and moved on. Not trying to waste time understanding it because the answer would probably not be worth it at this point, or it wouldn't bring closure or some kind of enlightenment. Maybe he holds you to a really high standard, maybe he secretly thinks you're the most competent and so you don't need support like your other siblings. Maybe he's threatened by you, who knows. I think the best thing is to eventually write a really hilarious book. Separate from the relationship with your crappy dad, and just see the humor in it from an outside angle and write the most fucked up book titled "Happy Father's Day", make tons of money from it and then give him a free copy for Father's Day. Embellish a bit if you need to, but dude, that's like a movie that a ton of people would pay to see.

This is my exact situation also (except I was 9 at the time). He tried contacting me recently, but I didn't care enough to even answer the phone. I always thought there was something wrong with me actually, since people say "at least he's trying!", but I simply don't really care. I feel like I'm... idk under appreciating him or something since it could be A LOT worse, but mehI met my dad twice. The first time, I didn't even know he was my dad, and the second was him trying to bond with me. Details are fuzzy, since I was only 7 or 8 at the time. He broke off all contact afterwards. No idea what he's up to, or if he has his own family, or just what's happened to him. I have a feeling he has kids with someone else.
And I don't have an ounce of hate or love for the guy, since I barely knew him.
My mom always asks me what I think about him and I can't generate any emotional response, and would just shrug, since that's about the most accurate response I can give.
He lives halfway across the world, so there's little to no chance of me seeing him again.
Most of the time I don't even think about it, but every time he calls I get so damn frustrated. I can't think of a single time in my life when he said I did a good job. It's always a backhanded compliment with him. He cuts me down every single chance he gets, and it's been that way as far back as I can remember. He does the same thing to my mom. He can be mean to everyone in my family, but it's the two of us that he is most aggressive with. Last night on the phone he told me has was sorry, he must have done something wrong when he raised me for me to be such a fuck up today. I don't know what he wants or expects.Dude, my dad wasn't perfect but your dad is a total dick.

If he just wants to be left alone, why does he always complain I don't call or visit enough? That's what I don't understand. I know he doesn't like me, and I am fine with that, but I don't get why he now wants to spend time with me.A punch in the face, perhaps? Or maybe just dying unhappy and alone.

Yeah you're right. It's easy to talk and laugh about with people outside my family. It might sound wrong but at this point I am more comfortable around total strangers than I am my own parents.No idea, because he's conflicted, or doesn't know how to express himself properly without being an asshole?
I dunno man, I don't even know my dad.
But I do think you're perfectly within your rights to cut this guy out like a stinky cancer. Do you really need someone like that in your life?

This makes amazing sense. Thank you.I think Ronito had it right, he wants to feel better than you. Your brother's a fuckup, so your dad's better than him, so your dad likes him. You're better than your dad, so your dad hates you.

This is what I like to assume, but at the same time it makes me wary that I might be using the same type of superior mentality my dad does! Most of the time I tell myself he's just a miserable person, who feels like he drew the short straw in life. From what I know of his past he's had immense and almost hilariously outrageous bad luck. My guess on his behavior toward my mom and I has to do with his desire to be free pitted against his personal sense of commitment. He's very old-world in many ways, and would not back out of a marriage with children, though he desperately wants to. I think he holds the fact that I was born against me, because it sealed the seal for him. From what I know he had encouraged my mom to have me aborted.I think Ronito had it right, he wants to feel better than you. Your brother's a fuckup, so your dad's better than him, so your dad likes him. You're better than your dad, so your dad hates you.
Ha jorma, there is actually an update to that story. It isn't as exciting. I ran into the same guy again during an internship course and had to work in awkward close proximity to him for a few weeks. We never said anything about what had happened, but we knew. I don't know if it was right or wrong of me not to confront him, but I did learn later on that he used to say weird sexual things about me to others, and they thought he was joking.
I fapped to the Snooki pics. The censored ones.

If I wasn't so high on shrooms/exadil/profanity I'd totally shit in your mouth.
He should totally block the word Scunthorpe.
For once I googled a term I didn't know and everything turned out better than expected.
That was a risky maneuver, Ronito.
The best part of this confession was the email address was what you'd expect the sound an xbox controller would make buried in someone's sweaty crotch.When I'm playing a game on X Box and I get to a point where the controller vibrates a lot, I put the controller on my crotch.
Wow reading that guys confession all I could was think hey there Patrick, nice one. Thread still delivering ronito!
This made me laugh, and it's properly true.I imagine this is what the collective girl gaf is doing right about now

You're not the first male prostitute to email me a confession, but you are the cheapest.Hopefully this sends, I've never used throw away emails before anyway.
I'm 19, gay and I have zero friends and hardly no money. To get me out of the house and to get some money, I sell myself online on Craigslist.
I feel awful everytime I do it but it's normally $60 every guy. It's mostly guys aged 40-50 I guess they like younger men and feel in charge with handing money out.
I get tested for STDs after each meet but I just don't feel clean anymore but I still keep doing it because 1) I like having money 2) I don't feel as lonely.
Obviously I've never told anyone this and I'm going to be judged but hopefully this stays anonymous.
Somehow I find that the most depressing part of that is that he only charges $60![]()
