Well that’s a bit alarming.

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.

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

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

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.
MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 1 year ago
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.
MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 1 year ago
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).

The outcome of this situation is gonna vary based on OP’s age and gender. Hopefully school in this instance is college. If OP is female it could be worse then male, if he starts treating them as a surrogate wife. I advise their dad getting some therapy or getting family therapy together. He needs to learn a healthier way to deal.

i feel like that’s more than just mildly infuriating

“Sorry father, you’re an adult, take care of yourself.”
Thats very alarming language from someone who is meant to be taking care of you as their child.

make sure to stay in contact with other family and some friends at least every 2 or 3 days, so you have someone who keeps an eye on the situation if he oversteps

it’s just in case he locks you into a room and takes your phone to prevent you from going to school. would be good if ppl come looking for you. tell some friends/family your address

Suggest to him to join a men’s group. My group has a recently divorced man in it, and he would be a mess if it weren’t for the group.

What’s “it” in this context?
intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 year ago
You want it, oh but you can’t have it
OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
That’s weird as heck and you should tell him that
ddash@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
No need to say how old you are, but in case you do still live there, get out as soon as you can. Talk to other relatives or friends/parents of friends you can trust about this. Do not talk to anyone who seems close to your dad unless you are sure they would not agree if his behaviour.

If it was me, I’d ask why the heck he’s proposing marriage, since that’s apparently what he thinks a wife is for.
See if that maybe wakes him up to how absurd his idea is

Oh wow. You should show this man how to use online dating or something.

Not being glib - you will need this book.

Glib means offhand, or insincere in this context.
A lot of internet comments can be thoughtless, meant as a cheap joke or empty attempt to fight boredom rather than really help someone.

I appreciate the willingness to learn new things… but how is it not easier to just type “glib” into your url bar and read the definition that comes up? Takes less than 3 seconds.
