I Hate My Father
Human Clauses March 6th, 2008I hate my father. Pure and simple, because I apparently act just like him. According to my mother, who was married to this man for two years, I have all of his traits. I cannot deny this simply because I do not know enough about my father to agree or disagree. I think I have met him a total of 5 times my entire life. He came to my grandfather’s funeral, I spent 3 summers with him when I was young, and I think he came once to surprise me. However, I still manage to “act just like him”.
I do have to admit that I am a smoker like my father. However, when I do something that my family frowns upon it is because its something my father would have done, according to my mother. Here is a small list of traits/fate that my family tells me I share with my father:
1) I smoke.
2) I’m a liar and a cheat.
3) I eat seafood.
4) I have sex even though I’m not married.
5) I cannot be trusted.
6) I take advantage of people.
7) I have no heart.
8) I’m going to hell when I die.
9) I’m going to end up a bum.
10) I will live in a trailer park married to a fat woman.
11) I’m an asshole
12) End up addicted to drugs
Now due to the fact that I hardly know my father except that he was in the army. So I cannot defend myself because I do not know if I am actually acting like my father, or not. How can I immolate someone I hardly know?
However, that is a moot point, because I am by all accounts doing a excellent job of following my father’s footsteps. So here I am acting just like my father, despite the fact I got into one of the best colleges in the U.S, and despite the fact I have NEVER taken advantage of someone, or joined the army or get a tattoo.
However, since I smoke, and have sex outside of marriage I am doomed to a life of drugs, trailer parks, and being just like my father. So I hate him. I hate him because no matter how hard I try to distance myself from this man who I know nothing about, I can’t. Since I have his name I guess that means I am destined to be him.
I guess that means my free will means jack shit next to the oh so powerful pulling force that is my father. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

I feel your pain. the thing is, my grandma calls me names
and says horrible things about me, and she aint compairing anyone to me! My mom just loves her and calls her a jewel.
I can understand her loving her mother, I mean my mom is wonderful, but unfortunately, my grandma is not.
My mom uses the classic excuse “she won’t be with us much longer, so let’s make her last years ones to remember.”
Well, she sure is making my first ones to remember!
she is as stupid as a sack of shit and can’t even hold it in, yet she has the nerve to yell at me!
She has been scammed over the phone over a million times and won’t learn! they won’t stop calling because she won’t stop being a total worthless idiot that smells like a billion shit in, month old unflushed toilets!

I hate people who put their personal problems on the interweb and expect me to care.

ahaha. I don’t get this.
You hate your father but you barely know him as a person?
That doesn’t make sense. But someone like me could never understand =]

Sounds like you’re hating on the wrong people. Your dad left you, so I understand it’s easy to want to blame him and hate him, but from you’re telling me here, it’s the rest of your familly that’s giving you crap for no real reason. Sounds to me like your mom is still bitter at your dad, and whether she knows it or not, she’s taking that out on you. It’s good that you’re at a top school, keep it up and don’t let your familly bring you down.

Mothers who haven’t taken an honest look at themselves usually blame their children for unknown horrors. You will be a fine father someday if you only listen to your heart….

Wow, how much time do people spend on this? I’m procrastinating from doing work… I find this site absolutely hilarious.
However, this particular blog entry drew my attention out of all the whinginess that is on here.It must be very confusing for you to understand in what ways you are like your father if you haven’t spent that much time with him. It is most likely that you may have a lot of physical traits and perhaps likes and dislikes that are similar or the same. But the list you have given are not personality traits their actions. If that is the message you are getting from your family, perhaps you should give them that exact list and see how many of them they haven’t ever done or thought they might be (apart from #10). Everyone at some point has taken advantage of someone or manipulated a situation and have thought themselves as bad or as an ‘asshole’. Furthering on from this, what person in the world hasn’t thought they were going to go to hell? What gives any person (even religious) to believe that they aren’t?
If your family has done any of those 10 things (which is most likely), try putting it to them: “Hey looks like there’s a piece of dad in all of us!”
Or counseling is a pretty good way with dealing.

You hate your father for leaving your mother. You hate the fact that your are just like him. What are some good things about you father? You should focus on those things, and grow from there. Take what you know good about him and cherish those ideals.
You shouldn’t hate him for the way that you came out. You are you, not him. You have made all of your own choices. You are you! You are not him!

I think he has a right to hate who he wants to hate. If he hates his Dad, so be it. If he hates himself, so be it. You know what i hate? Dickheads that bitch about people ranting on the internet. What were expecting from ihatethis.org..?
