Ran after my dad with a knife
9 2017-03-09 by Bergli
After a fight on the phoke he told me "I am coming for you now". When I was a kid it meant only one thing; he'd beat me up. Now I am 30, and I was so full of rage and hatred that I grabbed a kitchen knife and ran down to wait for him.
When he arrived I ran straight towards him, at first he shouted at me to put down the knife, but I kept going he then got really scared and jumped back. When I saw the fear in his eyes I stopped and went back to my apartment.
I almost killed my own dad today. I seriously was going for it until I saw how scared he was. Ironically because he never showed that kind of empathy for me and my mom when I was a kid. Now I am feeling bad and wondering if I should call to apologize.

Did you ever suck your dick? Details.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
Nah. Cut my mom's foot with a scissor, beat her up daily, beat me up daily. After I grew bigger than him he stopped the violence and turned to verbal abuse.

Then stop pissing him off.
n/a TossyMcSalad 2017-03-09
These two masochists were making that honorable man's life difficult on a daily basis for their own psycho-sexual cravings. Sick family!

No one called the cops?

No one. I was really surprised because quite a few people were watching us....

Why didn't you grow any nuts and start slapping him around when you were bigger? Little coward.
n/a xaway3 2017-03-09
What's your dad like? I wanna meet that dad.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
He is a bitter angry old man. Maybe a psycopath, because people love him but they don't know he was an abusive piece of shit.
n/a xaway3 2017-03-09
Well, I hope this cheers you up, fella. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21UP0frYg-E

So everyone loves him except his persecuted, knife wielding autistic son. I wager he might not be the problem.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
And his ex-wife. And his brothers. Ted Bundy was a lovable fella too...

Well he's probably gonna call the cops. Murder suicide is your only option now.

Toughen up. You probably deserved to get the shit kicked out of you as a kid. It made you into a better person. One day you will realize your dad was doing it out of love.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
I have no friends, unemployed and haunted by bad memories and OCD.
n/a RectalWarrior 2017-03-09
Oh, shit. Well in that case disregard everything I said previously. Honestly, call him to apologize but afterwards just stay the fuck away as much as possible. My dad was not physically abusive to me, but he certainly was psychologically and emotionally abusive. I try to spend as little time as possible with him. You should do the same.
n/a RectalWarrior 2017-03-09
And btw, you need to get a job as soon as possible. Take anything. Clean bathrooms. Being unemployed is absolutely detrimental to your mental health. Once you start working, you will stop feeling like a complete waste and you can slowly start the process of building yourself back up. As long as you aren't dying of a terminal illness, you need to start working immediately. Do you have any goals long term?
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
Thanks mate. I really want a job. I've got two degrees, but not even McDonald's hires me
n/a aegrotatio 2017-03-09
Put your pants back on and you'll do better.
n/a onemancrimespree 2017-03-09
I was unemployed for a while when I was younger but have since come to find out jobs really don't suck that bad as long as you can find one where there isn't a boss on your ass humiliating you constantly. Work at a shitty bar or something where they can't afford to pay a manager to be constantly over your shoulder. You'll befriend co-workers if your personality isn't complete garbage, it's actually really easy to get normies to like you if you just chill out and be nice to them.
n/a Anarox 2017-03-09
Degrees in what?
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
Why don't I just as well give you my full name and address? One degree is finance related the other is tech related. I can program and do accounting. You'd think I'd be able to get a job, but not in this country where it's practically impossible to fire employees and thus equally hard to get a job unless you have a social life...
n/a baraksobamas 2017-03-09
Change your name to Mohammad.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
I think Vladimir or something eastern european sounding would be better. Polish workers are so hot right now
n/a baraksobamas 2017-03-09
Vladimir is Russian though. If you need a Polish name just take a normal one and spell it like a retard. Piotr and Lukasz are all the rage.

n/a turnthemaround 2017-03-09
Jeez, dude. I think you need therapy to talk these issues out. I mean it's good you controlled yourself this time, but who knows if you were intoxicated or in a worse state.
I don't think you can downplay this too much. Change the situation a bit: if I had a past with you and then you charged at me with a knife during an argument, I would think you're insane. It's a sign you're not in a healthy state of mind if you can't control yourself like that.
n/a TedsEmporiumEmporium 2017-03-09
You waited until NOW to confront your dad? It's a bit late, don't you think? Just exclude him from your life and move on. Let him die alone and miserable.

n/a TangerineReam 2017-03-09
There's a difference between spanking, and beating. Big difference, but those lines can be blurred easily.
All you need to do is beat your dad within an inch of his life. Send a very clear message that this was the result of what he's been getting away with for years. I would've done that to my dad because he's just a cynical asshole with no respect for his kids, but he's had two heart attacks and stroke, and has type-2 diabetes. So nature stepped in for me. Otherwise I would've killed him, for sure. Now a couple of slaps with a pair of brass knuckles will probably land me a life sentence, with the shape he's in.
As you're beating him, tell him how much of a pussy he'd be if he went to the cops over this. Emasculate him. Maybe shove a backscratcher up his ass. Anything weird like that. The point is you want to embarrass him so much that he just breaks in half, and just withers away on his own and that no cops get involved.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
I've had those fantasies since forever man. But there is something about seeing the fear in the eyes of a parent. I just didn't have the heart to go through with it...
n/a TangerineReam 2017-03-09
The point is you have to. You have to make the decision for the parent, because they couldn't make the right decision for you years ago.
IM NOT SAYING KILL HIM OR CRIPPLE HIM; just a once in a lifetime beating
n/a onemancrimespree 2017-03-09
It's good advice honestly. If you've ever been wrongfully bullied by someone, only to have them on the floor making eye contact as they beg you to stop... it's too fitting. It's almost like life was created for that feeling, to prove someone so utterly wrong and have them rethinking everything they've ever done to you. You can change his behavior with a few swift movements and you're crying in the shower because he threatened you and you dared to respond?
n/a CaptainJeanLucPeckah 2017-03-09
Upvoted for "shove a backscratcher up his ass." Fucking great.

The LOS fan murdered his own mom a few months ago. If you got your father it would have been pretty good for our street cred.

n/a Joemomma101 2017-03-09
I don't remember which episode it was. It was a few months ago. One of the fans who was always in the stands at the Creek and the Cave, murdered his own mother.
n/a Anarox 2017-03-09
They all looked like they would murder their mothers
n/a rahtin 2017-03-09
Should have manned the fuck up, dropped the knife and beat his ass.
n/a racemic_mixture 2017-03-09
A) I think this is all a bullshit scenario that you want feedback on, but I will bite.
B) Why are you still in contact with this guy, much less living that near to him... or is it with him?
C) If you are 30 I expect him, at a minimum, to be 50 or more. Maybe he just wanted you to fist fight him so you could win and be a man.
D) Knife fights don't always go as planned. Maybe you get the knife put back on you. I suspect this even more because of the fact you were so scared of your dad as a 30 year old, that you NEEDED IT. As if he was going to kill you? Was he coming to beat you to death in your own home?
E) I'd tell you to buy a gun if you are this intimidated and it is your own property, but you sound like too much of a bitch to even do that.
F) Fuck it. Buy a gun anyway, just don't shoot up an elementary school.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
B) I live in Norway, if you live in the same city as someone else you're always a short distance away. He is my dad, we were never really friends but after he had heart problems I felt bad for his lonely miserable life and started talking to him.
C) Yes. I could beat him up, but I wanted to murder him. Stab him in the throat. Only when I saw the fear in his eyes I stopped.
D) My dad was always violent. He threw a scissor at mom when I was 5 years old and cut her foot up badly. For all I know that fuck could be carrying a knife. Plus I wanted to murder him, not punch him.
E) I live in Norway. I don't feel like joining a gun club for 6 months or whatever just to buy a gun I can't even carry outside.
n/a racemic_mixture 2017-03-09
Things make more sense now. I absolutely don't know your relationship, but if you have his number, maybe it is time to meet at a public place and have a beer together. It could end this feud forever, and ease both of your minds.
Most likely otherwise this shit will last forever, or until cops or death. I know this is weird for this sub, but maybe try and take the moral high ground and initiate contact.
I guess at your time it is pretty close to time to go to sleep though.
n/a Anarox 2017-03-09
Just cut him out and let him die, send a letter to him explaining why your done with him. Fuck him and his shitty heart. Tired of these old people getting more and more pathetic.
n/a Bergli 2017-03-09
Family is shit man. They truly can be poison, but the problem is that they're family. I can't just ignore my parents like that. I'd regret till I die

n/a humblebrag 2017-03-09
Cutting my father off completely worked out famously. Maybe because I was first born but I let my brothers and sisters know I have zero interest and not to pester me with questions or try to change my mind. Shortly after the dominoes began to fall and one by one they also turned their backs. Now us siblings are closed than ever and we even have mom back into the fold. Fuck these "BUT MUH FAMILY" orthodixies. Remove the cancer, soon you'll be thriving.
n/a kingship75 2017-03-09
I was raised by a motherfucker after my bio-dad gave me up for adoption at age 5 to my mom's new husband. He was cool until I turned 7. Then the physical and psychological abuse started. I left when I was 17. I haven't had contact w/ him, or my mother, in 20 years. I STILL wish I would've kicked the dog-shit out of him when I had the chance. Don't keep toxic people in your life just because "family." Fuck 'em.
Also, "peckahs."

n/a FatassTitePants 2017-03-09
I wasn't abused as a child Then again, I wasn't a shitty kid who brought out rage in those who loved me most. I guess what I'm trying to say is you reap what you sow
n/a thelittlewizardboy 2017-03-09
Your dad sounds like a textbook cluster B asshole who will never change, no matter how much you beg or threaten. Seriously, it never ends with these people. They're incapable of envy or remorse.
Cut him out forever, immediately. Within a couple of months, you'll feel 100% better and never feel any guilt about cutting the cord. Trust me, I've done it to family before.
But don't kill the old cocksucker for Christ's sake. Do you want to exchange decades of your life for him? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to know he's dying a slow, miserable death?
n/a Doc_McCoy79 2017-03-09
When I was moving furniture in college back east, we worked with this 20yr old kid they nicknamed "Gums," because his teeth were all fucked up. He looked like the singer from Three Doors Down.
Gums was pretty white trashy, but not a bad fella. The day before his fathers wedding, Gums was fucking his own soon to be step mom. His father walked in on them, and Gums got into a naked fistfight (boner and all) with his own dad, they beat the shit out of each other. The next day they both still went to the wedding all punched up.
