How would you react if you're dad sent you a letter like this?

I'm OP. This is the rest of the letter. I couldn't post it all in the first one.

"By the way, I looked way better than you when I was young. The lips, the cheeks, the jawline—I had it all naturally. My good genes were diluted by your mother’s plain ones. You have to get fillers every few months to maintain your “modelesque” look. All you have is youth; I have the bone structure, and I will until the day I die.

Speaking of death, I’m writing you out of my will. I know I’m having financial difficulties at the moment, but IT WON’T ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS. I’ll recover from this difficult time and rebuild my wealth, and let me tell you this—you won’t be getting a dime when I drop dead. Every cent will go to animal charities and that blind school. "

tl:dr

Plus, you're a thoughtless and selfish little PIG!

Cut him off entirely, find a good therapist who specializes in narcissistic abuse.

Sorry about the inheritance, hope it's not significant

How young is your dad?

OP is 5'1!!!!!

Oh dear, OP, you lost me at:

[quote]you're

I would assume some pissed off YAASS KWEEN hacked into my dad's email.

[quote] You dropped out of school at 16 to become a “model” even though you’re only 5’1.

This was my favorite part.

2/10

0/10000000

A parent who never use the term "ghosting" or "ghoster".

WOULD never*

I would actually be moved that my father was so observant of all the details of my life. Then I’d sit down and question my own life as to what type of person I am to provoke a parent to write such an ugly thing to their child.

OP, it was ONE FUCKING CAN OF FROSTING!

Get help, smoke copious amounts of weed, purchase a spiral ham.

Leave the child alone.

It must be nice to have such an involved dad. And the chick must be quite the sack of trash to make a father write this. Most times they just cleanse their hands and keep it moving, no explanation.

[quote]your mother, and her lesbian lover.

This detail, plus the use of ‘ghost’ as a verb, makes me think it’s all confabulated.

I’d start looking into getting as much a possible in my name because apparently my meal ticket is declaring bankruptcy!

Is your dad Alec Baldwin or David Hasselhoff?

Why would your dad refer to your mom's partner as her lesbian lover?

[quote]I spent 30 years being one of the most famous magician/clowns/horror actor/horror novelist in the world, and now I’m going through a moment of struggle, I’m just a waste in general? Drunk and disorderly in public? Oh please, I’ll drink at the beach if I want, I wasn’t hurting nobody.

This is so dumb. I wish I’d read to the end before replying. Has everyone replying actually read the whole thing?

What’s the point of this ridiculous fiction, OP?

[quote] I spent 30 years being one of the most famous magician/clowns/horror actor/horror novelist in the world

I can't.

My guess is that OP is the troll who always finks on its boss; gaunt, says it’s acne, but we see methyness, prefers Mexican stories.

THIS

NEVER

HAPPENED

I would shun him on Father's Day and for the rest of his life.

It reads like a letter trump would send to all of his kids.

Is that signed Alec Baldwin?

So fake

[quote]How would you react if you're dad sent you a letter like this? - "[...] You are a serial ghoster"

I'd say, "Dad, I never knew that you were a gay man and that you'd fallen down a YouTube pop psychology rabbithole".

One of the more stupid and poorly-written EST attempts

Well, first of all, "oh, dear" - I'd assume much of his letter was accurate if my grammar were so bad that I didn't know the different between "you're" and "your."

Next, given the specific allegations in the letter, I'd cut him off because my entitled, delicate feelings would be hurt that he called me out on seemingly decades of crap I'd been dishing out.

I'm sure in your narcissistic mind that you've invented some valid victimization to feel both entitled to his money and simulatenously treating him like garbage. But, the bottom line is that if you truly think he was as awful as your seem to think, you shouldn't be taking his money or assistance.

You sound like a whiny brat. I hope he cuts you out of his life and sticks to it.

Team father.

Well, if it's all true (and it sounds like it is since no father would write that to his daughter if he wasn't at the end of his rope with her, unless he's a psycho), I'd say it's justly deserved. I've known a couple people just like that daughter. I was smart enough to cut & run the second I realized they were toxic scum.

I for sure thought this was Kelly Ann Conway until I read it was from a father. I don't think George would write this, even though he probably thinks it.

I can see a father being driven to this by having a daughter from today's younger generation. They are encouraged to be especially derisive of their fathers.

(I say this as someone (a man) who has all but cut off my father.)

Isn’t George C on good terms with his daughter, R34?

Also, you people can stop replying to this as if it’s a real letter from a father to a daughter and not some ridiculous fiction someone concocted for god knows what reason.

I would apologize for being a shitty daughter, and ask how I might improve the relationship.

[quote] "How would you react if you're dad sent you a letter like this?"

I'd be very curious, OP. He's been dead for twenty years.

OP, please reconsider your career in epistolary fiction.

Typical Datalounger fantasy.

Why is everyone assuming OP received this letter from her father? She didn't claim that anywhere in the post.

'Ghost' is cellphone-era parlance. It's conceivable that a father accustomed to calling/texting might use the term.

I would make an entrance at his Memorial Day Team Building Barbecue in the Hamptons this week, OP!

You should wear:

Valentino quilted leather zip boots with square heel and toe

Parrell Williams x G-Star 3-D staq jeans

Marni Day-Glo mohair cardigan

Hermes polyester trilby - in brown or orange

Why is anyone assuming it’s real at all? It clearly isn’t, for god’s sake.

Umm . . . He may be SPOT ON. Is he, OP?

Did anyone ever investigate what happened to Jizzlaine’s dad?

[quote]Why is everyone assuming OP received this letter from her father? She didn't claim that anywhere in the post.

Well, given the poor overall quality of the prose, I can see where that might technically be true.

However, the headline "How would you react if you're dad sent you a letter like this?" seen through such a filter states it or at least strongly implies it as a likely inference.

^^^ I mean, the only thing missing from positively identifying it as a letter from her own father would be the traditional DL "asking for a friend."

Obviously fake, but I'll play along. They both sound like disgusting people that deserve each other as relatives.

OP, if my dad sent that to me? I'd be HORNY as HELL!

This is the same sad, fat queen who referred to its father as a "sperm donor" in another thread, got a few bits of sympathy for it, and decided to go full-on stunt queen in a bid for yet more sympathy.

You tried, toots.

…and you smell!

I really enjoyed reading the letter and the daughter sounds like a cun$$$$$$ !

I don't know why people are obsessing over whether or not the letter is real. The OP never said it was and trying to figure out who it's from. They just said what would you do if you received a letter like this. For as much as we know OP could be a novelist working through material. So from that point of view, if you want, just respond how you would react.

Buck never would have been LITTLE MISS INVISIBLE!

Stop saying Alec Baldwin, if this is even true. The Mother would be Kim Bassinger who no one on the planet would refer to a "plain". She is a natural gorgeous woman.

It's his fault she's spoilt.

My dad once suggested that I be given a lobotomy, so this bile dump would scarcely register. And when my mom died I got all the money.

The original cereal ghoster.

Shades of Candy Spelling

Shitty father.

Shouldn't have had kids in the first place.

He's probably right

I read this in Mel Gibson's voice.

r63 me too.

I would have told him I wish he had sent that when I was 16.

As a father, this letter made me sad. During the ages 14-17 things change between teens and parents, communication-wise. You want kids to become independent but you really miss their younger selves where you were their hero for just about anything. Obviously there are some parents who don't feel that, but there is a distancing that occurs with teens which, of course I believe is healthy and you have to get through.

But to go into detail about all the things the father does in OP's letter tells me this guy is hurt, but still, I just don't think it's wise to rattle off a list of grievances on your kids.

There was only one time when my teen didn't call at an expected time, had an excuse that felt I untruthful and I was devastated. On the phone I just said "That's fucked." (This phone call was while I was at work, stressed and my co-workers probably freaked out because I don't use that language.) But there was no apology on his part for not calling and even to this day I get sad thinking about it but eventually I realized I suppose hadn't shown or demonstrated how to react when someone you love is hurt by your actions or perceived actions.

There's so much to teach kids as a parent!

If I could, I would be calling my son all day to chit chat about anything, especially about the kids even but I know I can't because he has little time. But last night while catching up on the phone he mentioned he had to battle the school board and won for his seven year old, and I told him it was great he did that. When he said that's what I taught him, I started tearing up. I know, Mary!

The father is hurt and apparently can't cope. It's sad because the kid is suffering, to.

The letter was written by either Johnny Depp or Stephen King.

[quote]You can keep the NYC penthouse, but that’s it.

I would feel very happy to receive a letter allowing me to keep the NYC penthouse.

I think it's supposed to be from Depp, he's the one who's got the 5'1" daughter middling bone structure taking money for modeling.

Is the from TV show I don't watch, something about glam and useless people? Is this a "Euphoria" plotline?

Why is the presumably straight dog going on that super queeny tirade about good and bad bone structure?

straight DAD

Oh my who said this. Op you need to have a sit down with dad but do not foolishly cut him off as some posters have stated. Thing long game; you know how them bills are getting paid.

And is any of what he’s saying true? Be real.

I understand exactly what you mean R66. Well put.

Is that you Ireland?

I’d yawn 🥱. 💤

[quote]Every cent will go to animal charities

I love him already!

I always thought my dad was a prick but at least he never taunted me about my bone structure

So let me guess…

Russell Simmons is in the house?

Because we all know Alec Baldwin doesn’t write letters/emails/texts, & prefers voicemail as his main medium of communiqué. .

Listen: if you bake a cake from scratch and it turns out terrible then that’s on you. It’s not the cakes fault that it’s shitty. You chose the ingredients. It was your responsibility to make it good and you failed. Whatever your daughter is is a direct result of the way you raised her. If she’s a piece of shit then you probably are too. Or her mother or the lover. Whomever. You all created a monster and now you don’t want to live with it. Well you’re stuck with her. All sales are final.

This. Never. Happened.

You lost me at "ghoster."

The last time my dad tried his holier than thou self righteous play I reminded him that he started fucking the babysitter and Pre-K teacher at the same time. That ho never tried to guilt trip me again after I told him about himself.

I'll make an educated guess this wasn't written by Stephen King.

Yeah I laughed imagining Stephen King bragging about his excellent bone structure.

I'd send it back with commentary on his penmanship.

R3 read my mind.

I hate to admit it but this sounds like me when I was Miranda’s age. Oh who am I kidding?? I’m like this now. Please forgive me for acting like a brat at the age of 50!
