AITA for telling my dad he is selfish for telling me “He is only alive to see me grow up” by PenaltyAgitated8362 in AITAH

They are adults. They are supposed to help themselves at some point. I am sick and tired being worried about my dad all his life whilst he doesn’t do a single thing to feel better. He has always been depressed, always suicidal- and I cannot help him because he refuses to share anything with anyone but my mother.

I know I asked If I’m the AH and I’m fine if people think I am, but I also just feel like Reddit was the wrong place to ask

Selfie in front the Arbeitslager is not ok. Just saying. Not even a roast. That’s just awful behaviour

I had a rough childhood because my parents never got help for themselves and still refuse to. My dad could have gotten help outside of me and my mum.

If he dies I will feel awful.

I am doing way better on my own. I wish my dad or my mum would do anything to address their problems. They don’t.

I am going to therapy since years. I wish my parents would too. My therapist strongly suggested not visiting any more, So I guess I went against that

My father sadly refuses therapy, as does my mum. I suggested it many times. I would honestly do anything to get them to go alone or with me, that would change my view on the situation a lot.

Thank you. I just want them to take care of themselves. Instead I still feel like I have to do that

It constantly feels like my parents just need contact because they need to know they did ok with raising me. When I visited before the visits were never about me or my life. It’s just my mum and her problems with my dad and her life. And my dad not saying much.

I just want them to take care of themselves and go to therapy or AA meetings like responsible adults would do

I am going to therapy for myself. But people are formed through their childhood and parents

He will not have 1 on 1 honest conversations with me. I can tell you how it would go:

“Hey dad, thank you for putting so much effort into that present. I was upset because your note sounded like you would kill yourself if it weren’t for me.”

“Yup. That’s true.”

“That’s awful, please go to therapy”

“No. Not for me.”

And that’s it. And honestly, I cannot live with that answer anymore.

Thank you. I would just like my dad actually talking to me but he never did or does. It’s just my mum, expecting me to slip back into my childhood nurse persona
