Could there be any good reason for somebody to say something like this?

There are about as many good reasons

as there are forms of abuse!!!

Yes I have heard this before and most times it was deserved. Some people have horrible parents.

I've heard people say that and automatically go into "What an awful thing to say", but then I catch myself and remember that not everyone was blessed with loving, caring parents like I was.

Yes, there can be good reason.

Everyone has heard it... we were all kids once and many kids have been known to say that.

Adolescent angst?

i try not to use the word hate

but i sincerely, truly, completely dislike my dad

and the word "hate" may slip out sometimes

he's a truly awful individual who doesn't deserve one kind word from me...

During a particularly memorable domestic squabble, my mom called me a son of a bitch and I agreed with her. Does that count?

i used to be convinced that i HATED mymother. over the years...i have realized what a stupid teenager i was...but i felt i had good reason at the time...
now that i am grown...and have gotten over my hormonal fucked up teen years i love my mom more than anything..and we are actually quite close...
my mamma!!

I never thought that I liked my dad all that much till he died 18 months ago.

Its not until you lose someone you realize how much you need them

But Im not ashamed to admit Im a mommies boy,I love my mum

Much love Pochacco

I hate my mum. She cheated on my Dad, lied to my face, made my sister cry and pissed off. If I ever find her lover I'll kill him just to spite her.

Tons of things I can say about my dad. To sum it up, he still owes me money and doesn't call me because he knows he can't borrow any more. The best part was that on Father's Day, he asked me for more money and I said no and he tried to make me feel guilty about it. And then there were the times he would call me up around 11pm at night, wake me up to ask for more money.

I do feel sorry for him though. He has mental problems. I think he suffers from anxiety, he's an alcoholic with diabetes and he can't stop drinking to take his medication, and guess what? He has a gambling problem. I love my dad and I wish he would get some help.

Sorry 2 hear that sweet . Why won't he get help?

CAMILLE4U said:

He thinks he can help himself. I think it's pretty obvious that he can't, he's over 50 years old now...

I told him he needs to go to the doctor and tell them he suffers from anxiety.

Sorry to hear this sweety.

This is true! Abuse of any kind, be it sexual,physical, or verbal, can be the only good reasons somebody should or would resent their parents. Something to remember, without your mother and father you wouldn't be here to say you hate them. So if you like your life or love yourself you should at least value them for making it possible for your existance.

Sadly I was about to write the same thing.

Do you mean you say you hate him to others or you tell him directly that you hate him?

I was referring to conversations with others. I haven't spoken to my dad in about 8 years.

If I were to speak to him, I wouldn't say "I hate you." There are far more powerful words that would express what I truly feel and how his actions lead to this response.

BUT, I decided long ago that it's a waste of my breath to talk to him. It causes me more sorrow than it's worth...

That's very understandable.

Its usually during the "teen" yrs or terrible 2's. Nobody "really" hates their folks. HATE is a very strong word.
