Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
I feel so small after this, I feel like I'm the world's most shittiest person.
Brother assuming your name is not "Benjamin Nethanyahu", that spot is already taken with a long line of irredeemable assholes waiting to fill it, including that dad of yours.
You don't have to take those calls, you know.
"I don't like the way you're speaking to me, so I am going to hang up now. We can talk later."
How is Mr. Softee doing today?

I know but I was worried he might be sick or something, usually he's never home this early so I had my guard down.

His new food is still bothering his stomach, he's napping in the kitchen.

Just remember to look out for yourself. If the conversation goes to a place you don't like, you should disengage.
Too many people I know, including me lmao, have found this book useful. I obviously don't know your situation personally, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's relevant to you, too.

Thanks comrade.
I had a dad that was in poor health and also an abusive POS. He'll try to hang whatever he thinks he can, including his health, over you for control. The only way to win is not to play.
That's the freaky thing about abusive people: the abuse is so casual for them that they sometimes expect everyone else to move on from it just as fast as they do.

Absolutely not, but your dad is among the shittier for making you feel that way.
The alternating approaches are not internally inconsistent; the motive is to continuously make you feel dependent, feel lesser.
I had to put up with this for years in my late teens. It made me want to run away but I had no sense of how the world worked and therefore no plan of where I could run to.
I hope there's someone in walking distance that you can confide in. Having this would have made my life back then immeasurably better.

Used to be my mom but she's gone now.
I fully sympathize with you, my mom and grandfather were like this and I had to have two years of therapy around age 20 just to sort of start to understand why they would be so mean to me seemingly out of the blue. It did break me. In the end I came to the conclusion that not all parents like their kids or should be parents and I've been making my peace with that since.
It's exactly the Bilbo thing. All the best to you and so many remote hugs, it abuse and it's vile.
I hate it when people are verbally abusive like that. There are times when I'm in a similar situation, so I feel for you here. 💛
I'm sorry.
I don't know whether you like to be called pretty, handsome, beautiful, or cute but you're all of them and more
I feel like I'm the world's most shittiest person.
you're definitely not.
Undestand internally that everything he tells you is a proyection of him onto you, never believe it.
I run away from home at 18 from my abusive mother, I hope you can be safe and explore what options you have to reduce the abuse.
