WHAT THE FUCK (what to do)

[HeroesAndCons]

Ok so at the dinner table we were discussing the internet and what would we do without it
I jokingly said "ill kill myself"
My dad handed me a fucking knife
i asked him "what this is for?"
and he said "you said you want to kill yourself. Right?"
i got so pissed
What should i do

[Quahog]

Tell him you only meant it as a joke. He probably took it the wrong way.

[UnknownError]

I'd ignore it. He probably meant it as a joke as well, not realising it would offend/upset you.

[Njathind]

Well it depends. If he knows about the cutting, then I would explain to him how you meant it as a joke and were not seriouse. On the other hand, if he doesnt know then it was more than likely intended as a joke.

Try not to let it get to you hun, I know it probably hurt you deep down but its not worth getting worked up about. I think people joke about suicide, depression and self harm a lot, but you know what the best thing to do is. Just let it go over ur head.

[HeroesAndCons]

He knows but he jokes about it and it fucking hurts

[aaron4455]

he could of be joking too but i dont know

[silent.no.longer]

maybe you should try telling him how much it hurts you when he says things like that if you haven't already.

[YesterdaysNews]

That's sick, nobody, especially a parent should do that.
You should try talking to him, explaining how it hurts etc.
I would be pissed beyond belief it I were you :\
:hug:

I am pissed beyond Beleif

[georgiamay]

just try and ignore it. I know it's not as simple as that, but it's the only thing you could do really.

My parents used to think I was suicidal, and whenever I said that as a joke, everyone just went silent and started at me.

Just tell him it was a joke. But try not to let it get to you, I don't think he meant to hurt you.

[Love.Hate]

I would ignore him like the others have said.
Or simply tell him that it's not funny to do that, and it hurts how he jokes all the time.
I understand why your feeling pissed off but don't let it get to you :) (I know easier said than done) x

[Mike321]

Pretty much as everyone else has said, try and ignore it, or maybe tell him how much it upset you that he makes jokes like that.
Tell him you were only joking when you said it, dont let what he said get you down.

[Hazel]

My mum makes jokes like that, one time we was in the car and went over a brigde and my mum said what a perfect picture like of the lake and trees but there was a dirty great big pipe going over the top of it and i said "yeah sure with the pipe and all" and she went"it would look preetier if you was hanging ffrom it" and sometimes i dont no if shes joking or not she smirked when she said it but i didnt no what to say i was erally upset i mean she says things all the time but never like that

[Charleigh]

Hun I wouldnt let it bother you.
He was probly joking around with you, but didnt realise how you would take it.
Ignore him and just laugh it off.
:hug:

Am i the only one who thinks its slightly outrageous to be pissed?
If you give him the impression its fine to joke about it by joking about it yourself
hows he to know your going to be pissed when he also jokes.
if your going to get over emotional to a joke that YOU started, then you really shouldnt start it off and blame it on him

[Robbie]

don't worry about it, he probably saw it as a joke and didnt mean any offence :)

I'm sorry but I kind of agree with this, if he had started the joke it would be different, then he would of been out of order. But he didn't you did so I don't think you can really be too upset about something you started, if your uncomfortable with joking about it, which I can see why you would be, then just don't start any jokes, then you won't have to be upset.

Either way I hope you're ok, don't worry too much about it, I'm pretty sure he'll have forgotten about it by now anyway.

Well, see, the thing is she didn't say directly she wanted to kill herself, and that's what her father implied. She said she'd kill herself if the Internet didn't exist.

I don't know, the thought of a parent saying that disturbs me a little too much, even if it's a joke. I can't imagine my parents even joking about that :/

Thanks Rith

Thanks eveyone i feel better

[katieinwonderlandx]

maybe you need to get him to start taking your problems a little more seriously. i mean, what he said kind of implies to me that he doesnt get just how serious these things you are going through actually are. a lot of people seem to think that its all just an attention seeking thing, or that self harming should just be ignored, and ul 'grow out of it'. Maybe you should tell him just how serious some of your feelings are. i wish more people would understand how real and how dangerous self harm is. its not something to be joked about. You joked about killing yourself, but i think even people who dont self harm would say 'id kill myself without the internet', in the same way people say 'oh il kill myself' if they failed a exam or they had to live without make up. its a phrase thats used a lot. handing your kid a knife to let them know you arent taking them seriously, isnt funny. i hope you are ok. i think that was a pretty insensitive thing for him to have done, though he probably has ur best interests at heart, and is trying to show you that joking about killing yourself isnt something he's going to take seriously. even if maybe he should.xx
