My dad cheated on my mom, so I took his house, his savings, his furniture, and ruined his life in the most vicious way possible.

Here's how it happened. Subscribe to Am I the jerk on YouTube and hit the bell to turn on notifications.

The background. Growing up, me and my sister had no love towards our father whatsoever.

I'm not going to bore you with details, but him being a drinker, hurtful and aggressive are a few that come to mind.

When my sister got accepted into a much better but also further high school than our local school,

she moved immediately and rarely visited. We were 10 years apart, so I was 4 years old at that time.

I grew up resenting her for leaving me to deal with this BS all by myself,

but now I understand and were on good terms. My local factory was so big that it supported my whole town.

Virtually everyone worked there, so everyone knew each other. My parents too.

But then it was purchased by the Defense Ministry and they decided to cut off anyone without at least a high school degree.

My mother was let go, and this was after she had me for 4 months. My father, however, made it until retirement was granted military status.

Basically, they gave him an honorable rank so his pension would almost double.

But you'd also have to act accordingly because in terms of speaking, your military personnel now.

My childhood was an absolute nightmare, so needless to say I turned out to be an absolute mess.

Anger management and mental instability are notably the worst and I'm still working on them.

When I turned 18, I enlisted. The two major benefits were, number one, it didn't cost money, and number two,

I could never come home if I didn't want to. For me, it was a literal highway out of hell.

Fast forward three years later, I got an honorable discharge. It turned out I had actual mental problems, who would have known.

I got a boatload of money and even more in the following months when they were able to process my military insurance.

I came home to find my town incredibly underwhelming and my father hadn't changed a bit.

Not wanting to spend the rest of my life in this hellhole, I took what I could and moved to this city where my sister was living.

The last words zero dad said to me was, you'd never make it because apparently being discharged for a mental illness showed that I was a coward.
