Has anyone else noticed a spike in posts about abusive fathers by new accounts lately that then get deleted? Especially here but in other communities as well. I’m not saying this specific post isn’t real but it’s getting a bit weird.

Emotionally pressuring you to step back from education.
There are plenty of people outside looking in, that would call this abuse.

You are arguably insulted and neglected.

As someone older who has experience with an egocentric, narcissistic father, there are many ways they can fuck you up without any direct aggression. There’s no need to go all Reddit “CUT ALL TIES IMMEDIANOW!!1!!1”, but watch out for yourself, no one else will.

If you’re under 18 and in the US your parents could lose legal custody over guardianship and you could become a child of the state; and orphan, for denying you an education.

You do have the wrong image in your head. Abuse is not limited to physical abuse. Frankly, it’s the emotional and psychological stuff that can be much more scarring in the long term (not to mention harder for others to recognize).

Yes… I haven’t checked the profiles to see history, but yes. Id say this is the 4th I’ve seen this month while maybe seeing 2 or 3 others in the past 18 months.

I think this is the third or fourth I’ve seen this week. And when searching for them later they’re gone.

The person who posted pics of theyre new place with a single bed they share with theyre father struck me as odd.

There were more posts like this: the weird hotel room one, the artshare of OP father’s feet. I’m hesitant to put them in the same category as this because they looked like normal posts but again they seem to be deleted (or at least I can’t find them now).

If all these post revolve around photos and screenshots it is a loose link but all follow similar trends.

Yep, started on AMA and it looks like it’s here now as well.
