My dad hates me and thinks everything I think and do is mentally ill and screams at me for it. I am treated by him like some type of feeble minded criminal/thug even though I don’t do drugs or break the law. I am wondering if any of you have similar experiences.
No. I’m sorry that’s the way it is for you, though.
My dad’s theme when I was in adolescence is that we’re genetically programmed robots and environment/nurture has no factor in who we become and what becomes of our lives.
yes…because i have the power to destroy them. 
take care

I prefer my entity/voices to my dad. My entity is more real than my dad is to me.

My mother never hated me. I was also an innocent 11 year-old when she died, and frankly, I don’t remember much of her.
My father? Psssh, he resented me. I reminded him of my mother (who he cheated on while she was dying), and I distracted him from his new-found interest - my step-mother which he married six months after her death. I guess it would be safe to say the resent went both ways. It took me a long time to realize my dad was only human. To be honest, I have a very hard time pinning down exactly how I feel about him - and I don’t think there’s anything in this world that could change that. I regret my dad’s suffering at my hand, and I frequently blame myself for his suicide. But maybe that’s what he wanted, at some level…one last dose of spite.
My relationship with my dad has improved a lot I suppose. But sometimes he makes out what I am saying to be mentally ill even though it is pretty normal. For instance, I said I found it funny how a lot of atheists do apologetics in a sense for islam, but will demonize Christianity, and I wouldn’t have expected that. I said I think it is because a lot are democrats and so they like standing up for the underdog. He made this out to be an “abnormal/negative” topic, when it is pretty normal and I’ve seen a lot of people make similar remarks.
Then HE turned it into a discussion about the Nazis and all I said was the Nazis were arguably pagan and not atheist. For instance, the Hitler youth were instructed to say they no longer wanted jewish/christian morality and wanted to be pagan once again. The swastika is also a pagan symbol, and heimlich himmler was heavily occult/pagan as well as many other high ranking Nazi members. Ultimately they wanted to create a blood based religion and go back to worshiping the Nordic gods of their ancestors. But I suppose when he was my age he was not educated in that information and it was popular to think the Nazis were atheist.
How can you discuss the Nazi thing? You are neither a Nazi nor a German.
Based on your presumption that two things are qualifying the legacy of joining the discussion A. To be either experimentally or epistemically a part of the subject of discussion , and
B. To be historically and geographically appropriate for the subject of discussion ,
@daimon you are disqualified from half of your deluled ‘teachings’ on this site.
Cheers!
My Dad is Spock and my Mom is Mary Poppins…I love both of them dearly.
I am distant with my father, I call my step dad “father” because he’s the one that really cares for me. At Christmas even though he is a multi millionaire he only texts “merry Christmas” for the holidays. I am deep in love and worship my mother, who has always come through for me. I love her so much.
Were you by any chance raised Muslim? As I understand it there are Muslims in your family, so just curious. Hey, no hard feelings BTW. Don’t take things to heart.
You’re never just curios 
You either have some conspiracy theory on your mind or…a conspiracy theory on your mind.
The paranormal is not a conspiracy theory and that is primarily what I talk about. Also, the pagan connection to the Nazis doesn’t constitute as a conspiracy theory either.
I was speaking about your question…
I didn’t say that you discuss conspiracy …but you tend to turn other’s arguments into it.
Hey, I like you, so don’t be paranoid about my questions, I was just curious, honestly.
I like you too, but I won’t answer. 
Uncertainty is healthy.

Both my parents say they love me, but my mom treated me in such a way that made me think that she really hated me a lot growing up. It’s only been in the last year that she actually acts like she loves me. My dad has always loved me and acts like it too, but he has been saying that both of us are distant from each other the whole time I was growing up, and that dropping out of college and living at home again in my adulthood gives both of us a second chance to bond.
