I know that feel Anon. I've shared this before, but I will again.
>Parents have a family dinner, all the kids have moved out at this point
>I was 21 at the time, working in a lumber yard at the time. Working my ass off while all of my siblings have their dream jobs.
>Before dinner, dad offers beers and wine to everyone.
>I go to open a beer
>"Anon, I'm gonna have to ask you to empty that. I can't allow you to drink in my house."
>All of my siblings stare at me, holding their beers
>I just get up and walk out, mom crying and telling me to stay
>Don't talk to them for six months
>One day, a big flood comes to my hometown
>My building is flooded, I lose everything
>I have nowhere to go
>I suck it up and call my dad
>"Heheh... Looks like you still need your mommy and daddy after all..."
>Just hang up on him
>Sleep on the streets and couch surf for a few weeks while my building is cleaned.
>Earlier this year, I called my mom. I only keep in contact with them once every three months
>Dad is in the background bitching about something that happened a decade ago
>He says "Son, if you want people to take you seriously as an adult..."
>I bust out laughing, suddenly realizing I am more of a man then my father ever was
>I work harder, have less debt, and have more respect for people than he ever had.

Why does your dad single you out to eat a shit sandwhich out of all your siblings?
>>38928997
Because he is a shitty son.

It's a long story. I don't really get it, looking back.
>Siblings were allowed to a lot more freedom
>Parents were always strict with me
>My punishment was always to read the bible for hour or days on end, only stopping to eat or sleep
>Was always walking on eggshells around them. They never beat me, but I always felt like it was a hostile environment
>Dad spent all of his money on booze. He was a failed writer and part of an author's guild.
>Every day, when I came home from school, he'd "unteach me" the "shit" I learned in school.
Don't want to be the "blame it all on my parents" guy, so I just don't talk about them.

Manlet, babyface, or all of the above?
>>38929384
>long story
Do tell, anon, I'm interested in hearing your story. Take the opportunity to let it all out.
>>38929405
Why, so you can tear me apart and be entertained?
>Was born to an "eccentric" river rat family of ceepy southern Baptists. To put it into perspective, dad would get drunk, scream at us, and make us read the Bible or watch bizarre art films
>Was the third oldest, all of my siblings became "successful", and have yuppie hipster jobs. I have always done physical labor
>Dad made a lot of money off of the two successful books he wrote, but threw it all away, living "an alcoholic artist" lifestyle
>In school I was always the "He's so smart, but he could do better!" kid.
>Turns out I may have needed therapy or counciling or something
>Never had many friends.
>After highschool was talked out of going to college, besides "They didn't have the money"
>Work every day at physically demanding jobs
>Volunteer and reach out to people all the time
>Get out a lot
>Still don't have any friends after years of trying
>Parents are getting old now, and dying.
>Torn between caring and not caring for them.
I read a lot and spend a lot of time alone. The few conversations I have with people are obtuse and I feel like I can't relate to people.
>>38927565
Because you are a still child.
>>38929712
>Why, so you can tear me apart and be entertained?
No, because you sounded hurt and I get the feeling you don't often let yourself open up about these things.
Hoe do you feel about your siblings? Do they acknowledge your dad's treatment of you?
>>38927565
>Everyone still treats me like a child
Fucking genetics mixed with my autismo unassertive personality
