******* dads.

[Stoked]

Oh, we're talking recreational drugs now? Never tried coke, hate weed bad, hate shrooms and acid, but holy **** meth was a helluva drug. I see why people get addicted.

Never tried drugs in my life. Been at parties where it was happening but never interested me.

Not until I was in my 20's did I realize my dad was the best and I was in fact the *******.

Acceptance is a big deal. When you don't get acceptance at home/school, you'll latch on to anyone that will accept you.

I'm not saying you were accepted, nor am I saying this is the silver bullet/master gauging tool. But if you don't feel accepted, the numbers say you'll find a way to feel accepted.

That's pretty much 80% of males. Father/Son relationships tend to be more tense.

I think you're right for the most part.

I used to fight with my dad all the time. He's a hardass, and you do things his way or you don't do it at all. We also work together, so we were around eachother all the time. Eventually I found God, changed my attitude, and my dad mellowed out. He's my best friend now. We still work together and talk about everything. I wish everybody could have that kind of relationship!

As for this story, dad seems like a prick, but we only know one side of the story too.

And even the side we have isn't that of the son or father.

There is definitely something deeper going on than the dad just doesnt like 1 of the kids.

You're lucky. I didn't figure it out until my 30's.

As soon as I saw my in laws I realized I had struck gold as a kid.

No kidding. Sounds like we may have been separated at birth, bro.

Sadly it was kind of the opposite for me.

Maybe they'll adopt you?

I just got a call from the father and we shared a few heated exchanges. I told him that he needed to forgive his son and let him move back in, or WWJD, essentially, and he told me to **** off. I then got a call from three other members of the family each telling me how out of line I was for telling their dad my thoughts.

I've had it.

I know I'm way late to the parade, but... You're a good man, Trout. I'm sure we're all curious about the specifics, but they aren't important. This a**hole disowned one of his two sons over what sounds to be something pretty unimportant in the long run, and the family condones it? Sounds to me like you're the only white sheep. I hope you take it a step further and give the kid a new home.
