Worse insult you have received from a family member (Light hearted or serious, its up to you)

[Frothy Gibblets]

Lets just say when you're called useless, a waste of space etc on a regular basis as a child, you begin to believe it.

The other that, didn't exactly hurt but certainly was annoying, was how no worthwhile girl will ever be interested in me because of my appearance and my job. It may well be true but really, way to kick a guy when he's down.

You know, I absolutely despise my family but now that the topic is brushing it I can't think. My step-father never hated me; I never actually lived with him or my mother on that note and not for any bad reason. I just didn't like their personalities but he did infuriate me to the point of snapping at a Christmas meal. I don't drink much around family, I do however drink excessively by myself and around friends but never family. I told him that I don't drink with family and he replied that I must be insane.
Jokes on that on that knuckle-dragging ape, he's got the twitches.

My mother also infuriated me on many occasions. It wasn't so much an insult to me as it was a compliment (I think?) but she had her second child when I was sixteen (eighteen now), and when I drove over to deliver some gifts to her for that very same Christmas she had a bit of a breakdown and started crying about how she had these children because I was cruel and didn't love her and that her own children wouldn't be as smart as I am. I didn't mind the cruel and didn't love her parts but she did just insult my baby sister; I didn't have any feelings for my family solely because they are family except for my little sister.

Other than that, I do tend to forget most insults even if they are pretty cruel whether I'm throwing or taking them. I do however remember when I got my first tattoo an A-level teacher really offended me when she said I'd never get a job or a girlfriend. In truth, it is a 5x5 inch black hammer and sickle on my lower underarm and she is a history teacher; was still quite offended though. She's partially right however, I've had dozens of flings with women but never a real relationship. Not exactly a parental example but y'know.

My brother makes fun of me for not having a girlfriend. Really pisses me off for several reasons.

1) He's more than a bit of a loser. We're talking about a no-life kid that played so much WoW, I'm surprised he didn't get a catheter so he'd never have to take bathroom breaks. He's fat, sarcastic, asocial, short-tempered, and completely unmotivated....yet he has a girlfriend.

2) He was 27 before having his first girlfriend, which makes him a goddamned hypocrite for making fun of others.

3) Despite the above, his girlfriend is still with him after more than a year.

4) I have never mocked him for not having a girlfriend or for being in a relationship. Loser though he might be, I wish him happiness and have told him so. She's a sweet girl and will be nothing but good for him.

5) He's 100% right. I have never known companionship, connection, pleasant conversation, or any of the things that are supposed to make dating worthwhile. It was all rejection and ridicule, all the time. This bothers me very much. It is by far the single biggest desire of my life to know for just one moment that someone wanted to be with me. For a long time now, I have assumed rejection to be a foregone conclusion and simply left myself out of socializing. Call it cowardice or quitting if you like; I refer to it as advancing away from pain, shame, and humiliation. I do other things: photography, painting, reading, etc. Doesn't make me happy, but I don't see what can be done about it. A one-legged man can climb all the mountains he wants, and know pride and satisfaction for doing so, but at the end of the day, he still wishes for the leg he will never have. Some things just don't get better. Short version: he's making fun of me for something I am powerless to change.

My mom once started lecturing me because I don't have enough friends, apparently.

She also started a rumor a while ago that I was gay, although neither of those is really an insult.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

I'm lucky enough that most of the insults come from one of my siblings rather than my parents or grandparents, since that would probably hurt a lot more. Even then, the worst I get is a jab at me generally not having a relationship yet or something ("are you gay" and similar quips) from one of my brothers. I still love him, but also think that he's kind of a huge moron.

While not actually an insult, I recall a time when I wanted to tell my dad that I was basically an atheist (I live in Mississippi, so you can pretty much guarantee most people follow some Christian religion), and he would not wrap his head around the idea. I found it kind of annoying, and a bit hurtful, but not in a long-term sense. Luckily, my mom said she supports me making my own decisions, so I don't really feel any worse off for it.

Generally, my family is pretty light on any insults that get thrown my way. So I think I'm EXTREMELY lucky in comparison to a lot of people.

After being raised by a family that always taught me the importance of not listening to the local gossip and heresay, my boyfriend gets in trouble for something they heard other people say he said and my parents wanted him out of the house.



My parents have become fucking stupid in their old age.

 

[Caiphus]

I dunno, I can't really remember anything terrible.

I called my sister a c*nt a couple of weeks ago, so am now posting on her behalf.

 

[Strain42]

Dunno if this is the WORST, but there's a pretty sick burn my Dad got on me once.

I'm known for not having very many friends in real life. Like I'd imagine many of you, I'm not exactly a social butterfly.

Well one time my folks were going out of town for the weekend and asked me to house sit. So a few days before they left we were all at the dinner table and I was asking a few questions about when they were leaving, trying to get the details right. My Mom jokingly said "Why? You plan on throwing a party while we're gone?"

To which I sarcastically said "Oh yeah, while you're gone I'm just gonna invite over everyone I know and show off the whole house."

Then my Dad, without even looking up from his plate said "She's already seen it."

Touche, Dad...Touche...

My sister once told me she thought at one point during our teenage years that I'd grow up to be a "proper sociopath". She wasn't far off the mark there, given my tendencies towards misanthropy and rejection of social standards.

I'm a nice guy, honestly. Just don't offend my sensibilities.

 

[BakaSmurf]

Been told on multiple occasions by both parents that I was a mistake, they wish they had aborted me, that I'm a worthless lazy piece of shit, etc.

My parents are not good people, I could probably hit the forum's character cap if I were to attempt to list off all the terrible shit they've said/done to me, so long story short, basically everything they've done ever.

I guess the best one has to be them diagnosing me with autism because I played a lot of Videogames... They seemed so convinced i was some kind of severely socially handicapped person that when i started going out (when i was 16) with friends they would never put any kind of time limit (unlike for my br'os in the past) and would even push me to go out. I guess at the end of the day their ludicrously false belief ended up serving me well.
