Hi Reddit, my names Todd. Today I walked in on my son playing Fortnite, and I don’t know what to do. Here’s my story:
I was coming to show him the new copy of the Witcher 3 that I purchased today, and caught him in the act. He tried to quickly close it, but the damage was done, I saw it. I lost my temper a bit, most notably in my fit of rage, I knocked down and broke his signed Geraldo poster that I got him for his 16th Birthday. This only added to my anger in the heat of the moment, and I confiscated his computer and grounded him.
Going through his files, it only got worse, MULTIPLE EA (bad) games installed, he’s subscribed to YouTube soyboys like Destiny, Hbobmberguy, etc, and worst of all, he doesn’t even have Blood and Wine for the Witcher 3.
Now look, Fortnite is one thing, I can… with some time, and therapy, potentially accept my son as being gay. However, after discovering such fetish filth as the Battlefield V beta, his soyboy connections, and his lack of respect for art, I don’t know if I can even call him my son anymore. Surely these genes can’t come from me, right?
Tonight was the first night in years that we just didn’t have dinner together as a family, I can’t even bare to look at him, much less be around or tolerate him.
Please give me some advice Reddit, this is beyond me as a parent. If you all can solve something as complex as P.T. I’m sure you can help solve the Howard family. Any advice appreciated!
TL;DR – Caught my son playing Fortnite, discovered filthy fetish content on his computer (EA, soyboy youtuber subscriptions), now I need help because I hate who the “thing” he’s become.
