Toxic Father Tries To Play The Victim By Accusing His Son Of ‘Ruining His Life’

Not everyone is cut out to be a parent.

Many people may find this offensive, but I stand by my statement. Simply because you can have a child does not mean you should. Other than ‘that’s what everyone does,’ more thought should go into such a major decision. I believe we are all sick and tired of hearing stories about toxic parents traumatising their children and then failing to recognise that they are the ones who have ruined their children’s future. At the end of the day, they play the victim because, in their minds, they did nothing wrong and everyone else is out to get them.

These parents will never understand their mistake, and if they apologise, it is usually by saying that they did not mean to hurt you and are sorry that you took it that way. The father in this story does not appear to be faring much better. According to the poster of this story, he is extremely selfish and doesn’t care about anyone but himself, including his own children. And, even though OP thought his relationship with his father was going well, he somehow offended him, and that man is now trash-talking his own child. I wish I was making this up.

You can, however, see it for yourself by scrolling down.

We are starting off with getting crucial information about the family dynamics.

And it is clear from the get-go that the father is not the best.

OP has kept somewhat of a relationship with his father and his dad was supposed to pay for his driving classes.

But when the father didn’t pay, OP’s mom texted him asking for the reason.

And that is when things took a turn for the worse.

He was apparently butthurt over something which OP isn’t aware of.

His mother however tried to make it clear that all of this is his own damn fault.

OP isn’t sure as to why this is happening now.

Some of his family members are also not on his side so he has turned to Reddit to ask for opinions.

What boggles my mind is that the OP has no idea what happened. There was clearly no big fight on his end, and he also didn’t say anything to his father. So it appears to me that the man simply does not want to pay up and is now attempting to portray his teenage son as a villain in order to avoid having to ‘waste’ his money. At least, that’s how it appears to me. However, this could be beneficial to OP. His father has made it clear what he thinks of him, so OP should try to have little to no contact with him going forward.

Everyone in the comments was on OP’s side which isn’t surprising at all.

Some people were bewildered by the man’s comments.

It seems like the father just cares about the money and nothing else.

That would actually be perfect.

I am sure the mother didn’t want to cause a lot of drama so she kept quiet.

I 100% agree with this person.

While I don’t think it was right of her to do that either, I can somewhat understand her intentions.

Why do you think the father went on this rant so abruptly? Do you believe it was because of money? Or do you believe something happened behind the scenes that we are unaware of?
