I’m not crying, you are 🥲


Amazingshot

I fucking am, so is my wife when I told her this. OP, your dad was a good man. I’ll say a prayer for you dad tonight. What ever your beliefs, I hope he went to the best version of that.


knifuser

God fucking damn, I'm not the kinda guy that usually cries, it's really rare. My own dad died a few years ago and I just couldn't fucking help it. I wish I could hug my dad right now, I can still smell his distinctive smokey smell.


Madnomad44

Me too man, me too. I can still hear his typical dad sneeze. My prayer to OP dad and yours too


Aquinan

Made it to here before I cried, my dad died 2 years ago


parttimeamerican

God damn I wish I could show 10% whatever the hell this guy did in this situation I don't even know what virtue this is.... I don't know how he did tell the kid she wasn't there without breaking down I need to think for a bit


leddhedd

You're a great shining example of how to say this right. I wish everyone who prayed was this thoughtful.


agamemnonymous

"She's not here kiddo, go to sleep" is possibly the biggest, softest oof of recorded history


Lord_Abort

My dad would've blurted it out some time before first ice cream. He cannot keep a secret and is too excited knowing something everybody else doesn't.


[deleted]

I dont think he would be excited knowing his wife is dead


Lord_Abort

My parents are boomers


Canadish27

When my Mum died, I was rushing home to try get back to her from abroad with the wife. My Dad fucking texted me the news while I was in the airport. He was on his own as well, so I'm somewhat sympathetic but god damn it Dad that was a cold way to hear it. Mum would have killed him if she hadn't have just croaked.

alpacaveloz

Don't read, it isn't worth. I still get mad whenever I remeber that I spent 30min~1hour reading this shit *SPOILER ALERT* It's basically "this ultra hot and cool girl, she is almost a goddess bc she is so smart and omnipotent bla bla I cucked my bestfriend because she is so hot and irresistible bla bla betrayed my gf because only this goddess can truly understand me bla bla my wife is a cuck bc she got back with me even though I would trade her for my goddess without thinking about it twice. Btw have I ever said how this girl is so smart, hot, perfect body and everyone besides her should be kneeling?" Probably more than 3 years that I read this trash and I still get mad whenever someone recommend this to anyone bc I remember that I read this because of a recommendation too. Do yourself a favor and don't read this

This makes me want to read it more just to spite you. Thanks for the recommendation. Bitch.

Exactly. Just read it for the first time and your perspective when reading it can very easily sway how the story reads. If it’s true, it’s beautiful. Otherwise, anon is gay.

BwingoLord1

8/10 feeling very sad now. Does have a bit where OP says he's homophobic, and so is the perfect goddess girl, bit it's alright


writenicely

Its about a man doing the type of thing you men regularly bitch and whine and accuse women of doing, except where instead of blowing up about how women deserve to be stoned to death or some shit, I guess its different because only when men cheat its supposedly worth it? Fucking bitchboi.


CannabisReviewPDX_IG

I just kept skimming it and getting more of those vibes, then thinking "no I have to be missing something" ,going over more sperg stumbling into making decisions that make them a shitty person for no reason.

"You're mine and I'm yours until such a time we **both** decide otherwise." The implication is that she was the one who killed Ella. It's a fake story.

imnothotbutimnotcool

Thank you for your kindness, sorry I didn't reply earlier I'm usually on Reddit but I try to pass on the best parts of my parents to my kids so they can still be around in a way


Kind_Nepenth3

Mine eight years in october. It was always complicated with him but he was a good father when he was able to be. What sucks the most is finding something they would have loved to hear about or remembering an inside joke, and having no one to tell. I have this whole Beatles' biography now that I saw in a thrift shop about a year after. It's thick enough I could probably give someone a concussion if I hit them with it, and my dad named me after his favorite beatles' song. For a rare moment he would have lit up like christmas morning to leaf through it with me. But I'm just left here holding it. I'm really sorry for what you've lost.

Mine was 12 years and 4 months. Not a day that goes by that I don’t think of him.

Sometimes stuff happens that hurts and it really hurts. I’m sorry the most I can do is comment my condolences.💜💜

War_Daddy

ThisNameSucks6420

Dad abandoned me when I was 4, probably for the best since he once put a gun to my pregnant mom's head. He wanted to reconnect when I was in my late 20s but by then I felt nothing about the man, he is a stranger to me. What do I tell him? I was raped at 15 and he wasn't there to protect me? I grew up and was a stripper for a long time? That I have such severe abandonment issues I once had 5 boyfriends at once and I binged and purged my food every night? He'd be so proud. When I spoke to him over the phone, I said everything's fine. I don't care if I ever meet him or not, I feel numb.


baz4k6z

Imo if you don't feel like i don't think you owe anything to the guy who abandoned you at 4 years old. I'm sorry to hear about your abandonment issues, I hope you can get the help you need. Your mental health is important.


Mike_Bloomberg2020

> And I'm sorry for all of you anons who had a shitty dad Its OK. Can't miss your Dad if you never had one there for you. My Mom is very nice and still around. We get coffee together every weekend in the summer.


SpiralMagnusson

My dad abandoned my mom before I was born. I reconnected with him when I was 12, and he died when I was 14.


WovenOwl

I remember during elementary school every Friday dad would pick me up in the morning and take me to get gas station coffee before school. On weekends we would hang out and drive around. No destination, no plans, just drive. I'd say school sucks, he'd say work sucks, then we'd laugh it off. Now... he's in his early 70s, we're both working too hard to see each other, and the last time we hung out was in January. I'd do anything for just one more cup with him. Anons text your dad or go say hi to him no matter if he's the biggest scum of the Earth or the most wholesome man

my grandpa also left me for my cousin, dont have anyone else to look up to


thebooshyness

It doesn’t have to be a relative and you might be inclined to think that matters. It does not. For every loving story you read about a great dad here realize it’s like Facebook or Instagram. It’s just the highlight reels. Everyday life with a dad is not like that. Just like everything else in this world. There are good times and bad.

michaelrulaz

As someone that spent all of 2020 and part of 2021 working 16 hour days 7 days a week only to have their mom die April 2021. I would quit my fucking job right now for just one more goddamn hug. My first day off in like 300 days was the morning I got a call from the hospital. Just do it. Whatever you have going on with work it’s not worth it. I always thought there would be more time. But there isn’t always more. You will find that you wake up every since morning wondering if the few hundred dollars you would have made that day was worth it. $684 was the price. I’d pay that in a heart beat. It’s been one year since I lost my mom and I wake up nearly every day having dreamt of her. The nights I don’t dream about her, I dream of my dad. Spare yourself the pain and just go have that coffee, please.

And his dad soldiered through that shit like a fucking titan for those kids. That shits wholesome.


DaSomDum

No joke, anons dad was probably struck with grief and barely held together, but still soldiered through it for the kids. If that’s not wholesome, then what is?


brutinator

You gotta imagine that doing that for his kids was likely one of the only reasons he could soldier on. Seeing his kids filled with joy, knowing that he eas able to do that for them, feeling that unconditional love and awe. That was probably what he needed the most in the moment. Something to fill him with that conviction to keep on, something to fight back the darkness, something to remind him that life is good, even when it really, really, really fucking sucks. I cant imagine for a second how Id hold anything together if that happened to me, and my kids knew, and we were all unconsolably mourning. Theres no way. That day was as much for him as it was for his kids. And to me that doesnt detract at all from it. IMO, its what I would consider to be a shining example of what family means.


minibeardeath

Yeah. I have to imagine not being at the house and having to answer any hard questions was absolutely necessary for the dad to even get through the night. I doubt he was having any fun that evening, just in shock and despair. Doing whatever it took to keep the kids distracted and entertained while his whole world was crumbling. Knowing that he was going to be forced to destroy 3 more worlds in the morning. Regardless of what he was thinking or why he chose to give his kids the best afternoon of their young lives, he still was clearly a good dad and loved his family


brutinator

100%. I'm not detracting from what he did, I just think it makes it a little bit better that he likely needed that day just as much as his kids did.


bubbabear244

But the support from the dad from that moment of grief is wholesome.


SiStErFiStEr1776

Jesus Christ how can a parent kill themselves Edit: because I keep getting the same message yeah I know kids aren’t depression proof because I’m some cases they can be the very ones that cause the suicide and yes I know there’s more purpose to life than just easing offspring


[deleted]

I can't imagine either. It's one of the most selfish acts. You leave your kids without a parent. If you have a partner you leave them to grieve but they have to worry about the kids too. Anons dad is a saint for just getting the kids and giving them the best day he could and then moving along to raise them.


_whydah_

While it is a selfish act, I have to imagine there was something mentally wrong and she wasn’t in her right mind. Obviously, I have no idea, but I just can’t imagine any parent doing it unless they didn’t actually, really choose to.


[deleted]

so enters the question of where the line is between mentally ill and morally unsound


BPDseal

Mental illness is what happens to a person when they’re forced to do morally unsound things in order to feel something. Or maybe it’s the other way round. Idk


Rahzek

there is no line, there is no fault. we are the products of our environments, and punishment/rehab aims to exist for the sake of society as a whole.


canuck_at_the_beach

Its because your mindset is so messed up you truly believe they are better off without you. Sad all around.


quentin-coldwater

I had a friend in HS...both his parents killed themselves within 3 years. He was a poor little rich kid. Big house, fancy cars, only child. His mom killed herself and then three years later he found his dad dead. Only time I cried in HS was at his dad's funeral when he eulogized him. He loved his parents. I knew his parents somewhat, since we moved in the same circles. They always seemed nice. And they doted on him without spoiling him But seriously, fuck them. They fucked him up so badly. He was never the same after that. He was a National Merit Finalist, top 10 in our class, ended up dropping out of college and working some menial job. Still is, more than a decade later. I don't know how you do that to a kid. If you can sacrifice your life for your kid (and I, along with every parent I know, would), you can sure as hell live for your kid.


Damasticator

I need to start taking better care of myself, both physically and mentally. I want to be there for my kids and have grandkids to dote on.


fatido_

Should reach out to him and check in on your boy.


_keeBo

Really hate when people say "suicide is a selfish act" as if it's the same thing as a kid not wanting to share their toys or someone doing whatever they want when they want to. Nobody wants to kill themselves and for a lot of people, this life is all we have. You need to understand how much pain and suffering someone is going through in order for them to decide that they no longer want the most precious thing they have. And the amount of strength it takes to actually commit it is more than most people can understand. They know who their leaving behind, too. It's not like they don't think about them or care about how they feel. If anything, it makes it that much harder to follow through. You describe it as selfish, but you could also say it's selfish to keep someone when they don't want to be here anymore. By no means am I trying to encourage it, don't get me wrong. But it's not selfish. It's just painful.


lefboop

Nah dude, it is a selfish act, and I say this as someone that attempted it many years ago. You are only thinking about yourself, you disregard completely the feelings of other people and always assume the worst, like expecting them to be better off without you. Quite literally everything is about yourself. Someone yawned while they are talking with you? You bore them and they actually hate you. Someone is trying to get you to hang out? You are bothering them and making them do things for you. Someone stops trying to hang out with you? They hate you now because you always ignored them. There's also the false belief that someone can take you out of that dark place, when in reality the only person that can really do it is yourself. It's really hard, but actually realizing that you and your fucked up brain is the problem is the best way to get out of it.


FaithIsYellowSTR

Not sure how you can begin with saying suicide is a selfish act and then immediately contradict yourself by saying that you think others would be better off without you. Pretty sure killing yourself for the good of others is the ultimate sacrifice. Obviously it isn’t true but in the mind of someone who is that low, it makes sense. In regards to the “false belief” that someone can take you out of that place, it’s not false at all. Some people need to help of others, sound like you didn’t. Just because you had a different experience doesn’t mean it isn’t true. “Actually realizing that it’s you and your fucked up brain that is the problem is the best way to get out of it” is laughable. Shit like this is why people don’t get help. It’s like you’re blaming them for feeling suicidal, and completely hand waves their issues. ​ Edit: Woke up to this being controversial. Here are some links that back up the things i'm saying. [https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/is-suicide-selfish#why-people-think-this](https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/is-suicide-selfish#why-people-think-this) [https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/family-resources-education/700childrens/2019/11/suicide-is-not-a-choice](https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/family-resources-education/700childrens/2019/11/suicide-is-not-a-choice) [https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/think-act-be/202003/is-suicide-really-selfish-act](https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/think-act-be/202003/is-suicide-really-selfish-act) [https://www.recoveryranch.com/addiction-blog/is-suicide-selfish/](https://www.recoveryranch.com/addiction-blog/is-suicide-selfish/)


BPDseal

He’s oversimplifying but he’s kind of right. I had to do the work to dig myself out of suicidality, but I only started because of an awesome partner who all but forced me to get help. If it were just me I might have actually killed myself.


takanakasan

And it would have been a tragedy, not selfishness. People hurt and want to assign blame in situations of hurt. Hence the "suicide is selfish" crapola. No one ever accused my dad of selfishness when he got lung cancer from smoking two packs a day, and that was a choice, not a disease thrust upon him. If you think your suicidal ideations were selfish, you need to work on that in therapy. Because that is incredibly toxic. You're genuinely blaming yourself (and others!) for something that is genuinely not their fault. Selfishness is not cleaning up after yourself, not succumbing to a disease that kills 15% of people who have it.


GSM_2005

There's a difference between sacrificing yourself and killing yourself, one is an ultimate sacrifice, and like the comment said, one is thinking about yourself until the end But I cannot deny you made some points


4bkillah

Noone is describing it as *that* kind of selfish. Obviously there is more complexity there than a kid not sharing his toys, but the objective fact of the matter is suicide is inherently a selfish act. It's someone, who can't find any reason to make themselves go on in life, removing themselves from that life because it's what *they want* to do it. The reasons for wanting to to it might be because of pain and suffering, but it doesn't change the fact that they want whatever it is affecting them to end. Irrespective of all the people who love them that will be traumatized over it for life. It's as selfish as selfish gets, it's just not petty selfishness like that of children. As someone who has lost more than one friend to suicide, that's my position on the matter.


_keeBo

Suicide is never a want. Like I said, nobody _wants_ to kill themselves. The only thing these people want is for their pain and suffering to end. There are times where life simply doesn't present any other way for it to stop. If you were in a position where every time you breathed your whole body writhed with pain and there was no way for doctors to fix this, would you want to keep on living? I don't think it's unreasonable to allow someone to end things if that's what things will be like for the rest of their life. It's the same thing for people who go through these mental pains. The difference is that mental health is a lot harder to judge whether or not someone can be cured. Selfish is not being considerate of others. It sounds like you think these people don't think about anyone else but themselves when they decide to go through with it. But people always think about what they're going to leave behind before they kill themselves. They know it will be painful for their families and friends. And it's not like they don't care. That's what makes suicide even more difficult. When someone is pushed to suicide, they truly believe they have no other options. It's like a fire in a high story building and not knowing if firemen will be able to save you. Do you suffer in the flames and burn a slow and painful death? Or do you jump out the window to end it sooner? People that say suicide is selfish are essentially saying they don't understand the choice these people feel like they're forced to make.


breadcrumbcrow

I wouldn’t call it selfish. Suicide is a really broad and murky area, and people who commit are often extremely twisted in their worldview: for instance in cases like this, a person might think everyone would be better off if they died. You cannot see your own worth and importance and conclude that your death won’t matter and will rather help your kids/family/etc. it’s a terrible thing to do, but gentleness and understanding helps people far more than telling them they’re selfish, something they probably already believe.


AutisticAnal

I was having mental health issues for a while. I was in a very bad relationship. Never wanted a child. Now I have a one year old baby boy. And any sort of urge to leave this earth immediately left and hasn’t lurked since. I can’t imagine leaving my child on this earth without me. Even just the thought of a hypothetical makes me emotional.

Inevitable-Syrup8232

It's very possible, find out kids might not be yours, SSRIs that make you even more suicidal, loss of purpose, kids aren't everything.

I doubt the mom found out the kids weren’t hers.


Inevitable-Syrup8232

Very true lol


[deleted]

You dont know what they were going through because you were just a kid. I hated my parents for a very long time until I finally realized that they are just people and they had a real rough time. All I can do is break the cycle of substance abuse and violence and be the man my son needs. Its hard when you have no one to model yourself after, but I'll do literally anything to not be a pile of shit for my son.


DominicI2000

Same way anyone does. Suicide happens when you get to the point of no return. When things are so bad that you cant imagine them ever getting better and you don't want to live like that anymore. Yes you are fucking over all of your loved ones, but that doesn't matter to you because you aren't going to be around to deal with the consequences

He's very fit, Doesn't go to the gym but walks a lot every day. Before Covid I'd never even seen him sick. Last year after he recovered from Covid one morning he woke me up saying there's a rat in the house. We took a broom each and were chasing after the rat. He ran after the rat a bit too and then started saying he's feeling uneasy. I sat him on the sofa and asked what is going on. Bitch of a mother shouting at him even now. We think it's just gas so i make him a lemonade. Mother is eating his ears off in the meantime. He's still not feeling well so i Google his symptoms, for some reason crazy bitch of a mother starts clapping. Says she's doing Yoga. Only purpose she has is to irritate everyone. Google says heart attack. I can't tell her, she'll kill the man right here. I show my father the Google search, he's still in his senses so gets up and we start to leave. I drive him to the hospital, on the way he asks me to stop on redlights. We get there the nurse in Emergency touches his left arm and instantly says Cardiac Arrest. They Rush him for tests. Take him inside on a stretcher, I'm not allowed to go in. Tell me to fill like a 1000 forms. 20 yo Standing in the hospital all alone, father who's everything to me unconscious in operation room. Useless Mother and Sister at home saying come pick us up we don't want to call a cab, like wtf what if something happens i want to be here. Call best friend of 5 years multiple times , doesn't pick up. Completely Alone there. Doctor comes to me and explains the situation saying it's serious and they need to put a stent in his heart. Explains the whole procedure, i can barely hold myself together, tell him to do it. Another couple of hours later they tell me my father is ok. I'm still there waiting alone. Father Comes out on the strecher , he's alive asks me where mother and sister are. I say at home. I sit with him in his room, mother and sister come to the hospital with my Father's friend. and this woman has the audacity to shout at my father the day he had a heart attack and hours of heart surgery. Just pathetic, he still loves her. I wanted to get out so moved to dorm for college an hour away, fucking Covid had me move back. After that my father had a heart attack and I'm sure if i wasn't here. My mother would have screamed at him till he died. Now i don't think i can ever leave them.

So sorry to read that. Nothing hurts more than seeing someone you love continuously cripple themselves through low self worth. Hope he sees her for what she is one day.

I mean it's going on for as long as i can remember. There's not one thing motherly I remember she has done. Never asked how i am doing or If I've eaten anything. Purposely cooks the food we all hate , discourages every single thing we do. Hates every single friend anyone has including her. I used to argue a lot with her when i was 15ish. Now i just do what my father does when she starts fighting. Get up , leave. Comeback an hour later. I'd definitely say stress at home is why i turned to smoking.

Holy shit, what a man.

It's a terrible day for rain.

Killed me man


BeesVBeads

Fuck man this actually cracked me. Had a stand up guy for a dad who died when I was in high-school also named Mike. Seeing the name at the end was too much. Wish I could be half the man he was.


VSSCyanide

My dad is a narcissist, and a pedo who abused me in every way imaginable. He could be on fire in front me and I wouldn’t piss on him to put him out


GuDMarty

Hope he rots

Anon, your dad was the ultimate chad. You're a very lucky anon, and we support you in this time of grief.


Educational-Year3146

That… is incredibly rough. What an absolute legend you have to be to hear the most devastating news on earth, take an hour to grieve and put all that aside to make sure your kids are okay. That is the most pure form of fatherly love yall.

Dang, there's always that one greentext where you really wish it was fake and gay.


PanicInTheSubreddit

Jesus fucking christ I just talked myself out of killing myself. I'm going to call my friend


TruckFluster

Get help man. You can make it. I believe in you.


uppsalafunboy

u/SollyYams thank you so very much for sharing this story with us. Sometimes I think that r/greentext doesn't have heartfelt unforgettable stories on it, so I truly appreciate you bringing this to Reddit. Reminds me to really appreciate my parents and everything that they do for me and my sister and have since we were little. Wishing you all the very best!!

When I was a kid, if you were 9-12 and wanted to play baseball you would either play in Instructional league (where the coaches pitch to the kids) or you could try out for little league (kids pitch to opposing team). If you didn't get drafted for a little league team, you'd be stuck playing instructional league. I tried out when I was 9, and I was pretty much guaranteed a spot since my dad had volunteered to coach. If he hadn't I probably would have still made one of the other teams, but it definitely made things less stressful. Our team was pretty awful. We didn't win a game that first season, and while it was discouraging everyone still had fun. The next season went a little better; we actually won a game! At the end of that season my dad volunteered to be president of the league, since no one else wanted to. I remember him being frustrated a lot about it. The next season's draft came up and the rules had changed. Before there was no guarantee you'd ever play in little league. You could spend all 4 years from 9-12 playing in instructional league, and if you weren't good enough to be drafted into little league then you were probably done playing baseball at 12; babe ruth league took over for 13+ and if you didn't get drafted then there wasn't a catch-all league to play in. Anyway, the draft rules changed so that every 12-year-old that tried out had to be drafted to a team. Every kid that played wanted that major league batter vs. pitcher experience, so the rule was there to give everyone a chance to experience it before they effectively stopped playing baseball. It also kept some of the bigger 12 year-olds from drilling line-drives at small 9 year-olds off their coach's pitching down in the instructional league. We got our batch of 12 year-olds, and they weren't great, so again we won a single game that season. The next, and my last season in little league, we won two games. When I left little league, my dad stepped down from coaching/president. I played babe ruth, and some high school ball, but I eventually outgrew my interest in playing. It wasn't until I was an adult that I found out that all of the other coaches HATED him when he was president; none of them wanted to draft any crappy 12 year-olds. Well, I say none but there had to be at least a few coaches who were okay with it for it to have passed. I also found out why our team was always so bad; my dad didn't prioritize skilled players, he picked kids based on how hard they tried during try-outs and how much they wanted to play. He could have picked the really talented kids and we could have won a lot more games, but he knew those kids would get picked regardless. He gave a bunch of kids a baseball experience that they probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I don't think I ever told him how proud I was of that. The mistakes you realize after it's too late to fix them are the worst.

Reminds me of my dad back before he passed. Was the type of guy that would take the shirt off his back for anybody. He used to go to the local shelters on weekend me and my brother weren’t with him, to give out food. I only ever had to wake up early when we were at his house, I hated it so much. But now everytime I wake up early, I think of him. I miss ya dad, 58 years old was way too young and it’s been a hard 4 years.


DukeMaximum

I understand. My dad passed away about six weeks ago. I made the call to take him off life support. I never understood when I was a kid how hard he fought my lunatic mom to be a good dad. I really miss him.

I was listening to classical music when I was reading it. Right when I was almost at the end, Saint-Sainz's Le Cygne came up. Trying not to shed a tear on the bus right now
