My Father is a Douche. - General

So I just woke up, walked into the dining room, sat down here and saw a note he left... "I want to see your check stub." O_o Here's the rundown, my father is a "recovering alcoholic" and belongs to a cult known as AA (Alcoholics Anonymous). I moved in with him a few months ago, got a job, and am helping him out some... Now he's being a controlling prick. He wants 25% of every check I get, even though I work 32 hours a week, then he doesn't believe me when I leave him the money on the desk... He works for a small factory place that manufactures computer panels and shit, but he's completely technologically impaired, it takes an hour for him to go to "www.youtube.com" and a few months ago they started this thing, he's only getting 4 days a week. So he's claiming he doesn't have enough money to keep up with his bills... BUT! This is the good part... He has enough money to lolligag to 3-4 meetings a week (some being up to 2 hours away) and talk to some woman that lives 2 hours away, usually stopping by her place for no reason at all? I'm 20. I need a fucking place of my own, but I'm trying to save up the money for that AND to go back to school... He might as well be a damn scientologist for christ's sake. He spends all his money on AA and whines that he can't afford to pay any of his bills. (FYI: Did I mention he has a small plasma screen TV across from the toilet in the bathroom? Yeah. He has a small plasma screen TV across from the toilet in the bathroom.) Stupid bastard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;18060625]Yet another "my life sucks let me tell facepunch about it" thread Facepunch: We Care About Your Shitty Life™[/QUOTE] Look at me! I can reply to a thread after reading two sentences (which is REALLY hard!) and then post about nothing! YAY! If you're going to post, don't be a fuck. I don't hate my life, I hate my father, get it right. And no, I'm not like the 50,000,000 12-16 year olds on FP that cry because they don't get enough allowance, or they can't go play baseball with their friends. I work a fucking job, have next to no time for myself, and he wants all my money for his cult. Also, I have talked to him about it, he's one of those guys that talks over you and talking to him makes no difference. (This is part of the reason my mother left his ass awhile ago, wanted all her money and spent it all on booze. Now it's me and AA. Ohhh the irony.)

We're not therapists, we're not counselers, we're not even your close or personal friends . Instead of telling us, go tell someone who can actually help you, or better yet, MAN UP AND DEAL WITH IT YOURSELF. Also you apparently have enough time to yourself to tell Facepunch you don't have a lot of time for yourself.

well then stop bitching about it on forums and [b]TALK TO HIM ABOUT IT[/b]

So he takes your money because he can, blows all his money on AA charges and has a small plasma screen TV across from the toilet in the bathroom? Sounds like quite a douche.

You're 20, if you don't like him taking your money, just leave.

Sort it out you wuss.

beat him u fag [editline]10:34PM[/editline] just do it

I would say my father was a douche as well but I would be happy to have a father who is a douche than a father like mine. Who is dead

I want a small plasma TV across from the toilet now. Why don't I have one :saddowns:

[QUOTE=johanz;18060652]You're 20, if you don't like him taking your money, just leave.[/QUOTE] I'd love to. I have nowhere else to go, and shit credit. In America that's called homeless if you try leaving with a minimum wage job in a shit economy and at a young age.

You too must follow the [b]Twelve Step Program[/b]. Let God guide you!

Ugh, the AA make you accept you have no control over your life and all your problems are looked upon by a higher being. It might help people stop drinking, but you could never say it helps people. Stupid AA.

[QUOTE=Paravin;18060767]You too must follow the [b]Twelve Step Program[/b]. Let God guide you![/QUOTE] No, AA isn't religious. They just say you have to give your life up to that higher being. It's not religious. Lol.

Mods can't you create a place where people can post about how unfair their parents are and how they hate life etc.

[QUOTE=BldrGyMnGy;18060794]I hate it when people like you use "we"[/QUOTE] I'm so sorry I hurt your delicate feelings, I would have thought less people cared about shit like this There I edited my post just stop crying I'll buy you a lollipop if you do

why dont you just refuse to pay him anything. you need that money, and if he wants any he'll have to sell that tv in his bathroom. who buys a tv and puts it in the toilet? is there anyone else you can live with or stay with temporarily?

Actually, yeah. Why don't you just tell him that you're saving up to move out and you can't afford to pay for his AA habit?

tell your dad to stop going to AA my father is an alcoholic and he tried AA and that shit doesn't work, you just have to get completely sober via distancing yourself from alcohol tell him to man the fuck up also find a place to live and move out, because right now he should be charging you rent (so don't bitch about him taking your paycheck)

Tell him you're 20 and want to control your fucking future but you can't because you're being a doucher and you have no where else to live so you can't scaddadle either.

[QUOTE=Robman8908;18060830]No, AA isn't religious. They just say you have to give your life up to that higher being. It's not religious. Lol.[/QUOTE] 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. Wrong?

Tell him to man the fuck up, stop spending money on religion and move out.

Go live with a friend or something. Facepunch is the wrong place to bitch about it. :|

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;18061425]Judging on the ratings I've gotten at least 13 people think it is[/QUOTE] Then I bet those 13 people have created threads bitching about their sad lives too. Honestly, OP's dad is really a low-life and needs to man up and all that shit that was already said. But he's 20. You have the ability to leave, go live with a friend, or find a better job that allows you to make enough to save up for your own place. Put your money in your own savings account and don't let your dad access it. Just sitting and bitching about it on the internet makes you look even sadder because apparently you don't know how to do anything to fix the problem other than complaining about it to strangers who probably couldn't care less. Go out and look for a better job. Did you graduate high school or get your GED? You can find something better than min. wage if you try hard enough.
