re: Parent Problems looking for advice

Tell him straight up that because of his past actions he is no longer welcome. If he changes with time (he won't) let see the kid but until that happens no dice. Don't fall for the sob story bullshite and understand you don't control him and he doesn't control you. If that doesn't work then you may just have to whip him and hope for the best.

Yeah frick that guy. Just because he managed to produce an apparently functioning human being who then reproduced doesn't give him the right to see the child.

You aren’t wrong. He sounds like a POS. Scruffy supports your decision to avoid him.

Thank y'all again, I know I have posted some dumb stuff in the past but I appreciate all the serious talk and advice

In these last few months i have noticed myself in a better mood because he im not letting him stress me out about time with my daughter...With all the things he has done from my childhood till recently he doesnt deserve to see me or my daughter in my eyes but am i wrong for that?

My advice. You're an adult. You don't have to put up with his shite anymore. If it's detrimental move the frick on.

You're the head of your household. He had his shot to run his and fricked it all up.

Don't you do the same shite. He's a cancer. Cancers destroy everything in reach.

Piss on him. Do what is best for your child.

Sorry for the long story but i know somebody on here has to have went through similar problems

The solution is to confront him about his issues, tell him you want him to have a relationship with your daughter, but that he needs to get help.

Explain to him that, because of his issues, that's impossible right now. But, if he seriously tries to get help for his issues, you are open to changing your mind.

Perhaps your daughter is what he needs to finally address his issues. If he's unwilling, then you aren't wrong to protect your child, your wife, and yourself.

This story is why I’m convinced that justified murder is a thing.

Honestly OP, getting rid of him in every single way is the best solution. Not an easy one, but the right one for your family.

From my experience, when someone does what your father has done, they no longer have any right to have contact with you and your family.

People like that think that they are immune to consequences. It's time your father is shown that he isn't in control.

Whatever you decide in regards to a relationship with your father, sounds like you could seriously benefit with finding a counselor/therapist to talk to about this.

Here is my story:

I've been dealing with my mentally ill father(severe anxiety mostly) for several months. It has been emotionally draining and very stressful. While he can at least see he has mental issues and needs medication, he refuses therapy ("talking ain't gonna help shite")and is oblivious to how his actions severely stress myself and my family out. He is very attention seeking and wants everyone to pity him. He totally takes advantage of my compassionate nature and inclination to do whatever I can to help him out. I'll get so angry and frustrated with him that I'll end up yelling at him and then feel like a shitty daughter afterwards and apologize and just further enable his need for attention/sympathy even more.


Because of how stressed out he has made me...I've started seeing a therapist to help me properly deal with my father. He's helping me to set healthy boundaries with my dad and still be there when my dad really needs me, but also be firm in making it clear that I'm entitled to my own life as well. Only been a handful of sessions but already it has helped me out so much.


Obviously my situation is vastly different than yours...but has the same theme.....we are both stressed out emotionally over our fathers.

Hope things get better.
