HIS FATHER WAS KICKING HIM OUT ALL THE TIME, AS HE WAS GROWING UP, THEN ONE DAY HE SAW HIS FATHER ON HIS DOORSTEP
A man shared his story on Reddit, where his father was kicking him out, as he was growing up, and after a while, his father was on his doorstep, and he confronted him. He asked for advice as he shared his story.
The troubled man had stated that his father had kicked him out a lot. “Growing up, my father used to kick me out alot. We were dirt poor, living in a shitty townhouse in a bad end of town. I’m asian, and as the old stereotypes for asian fathers go, he used to be super strict ab marks. Every time I got anything lower than a 70, he’d kick me out, if I was late to class and he found out, he’d kick me out, if I was late coming home before curfew, he’d kick me out.”
He said that no matted he says, or pleads, his father wouldn’t care, and still kicks him out. “No matter how much I begged and pleaded, he’d toss me outside and throw a sleeping bag onto the lawn- it didn’t matter what the weather was, it could be snowing or raining and he would still send me out. I used to sleep on the streets until around 16 when my friend would let me stay over at his. I’d always come back, apologize and he would let me back in. He kicked me out at 18 and I didn’t come back home. I stayed at my friends place and worked everyday until I had enough to pay for schooling, and haven’t talked to my father since. I’m 29 now and got a lovely wife and a kid on the way.”
Then few days ago, his mother had passed away, and that created an opportunity for his father to come and apologize from the man. He did what his father did to him, when he was young. “A couple days ago, my mother died and my father came to visit to apologize for everything that went on when I was younger. It felt really sincere until I remembered that he lost his convenience store about 7 years ago, and his pension had gone to shit. I asked him why he was really here, and he begged me to let him stay at our place. I went inside, grabbed a sleeping bag, and threw it on to the lawn and went back inside.”
Then he concluded his post, and asked for advice, as he shared a talk with his wife, and his friends. “My wife says I need to let it go, she said to me: “yes he was tough, but he would always let you back in no matter what. He loves you, he only wanted the best for you” My friends, who are also asian, say that it’s not even a big deal, they all say I had it “easy” when it came to punishments, and that I am just a “disrespectful son who couldn’t see what his father was trying to do for him” I have been doing alot of thinking lately, but like what the fuck? Am I crazy or does he not deserve exactly what he did to me?”
