      Definitely need more context on the existing relationship. If it’s very casual and sarcastic/joking back and forth all the time, this seems like a funny dad. If he just berates his son like this and isn’t being lighthearted, it’s verbally abusive. Hard to judge from just a text screenshot.

        TBF it’s a bit uncommon to berate someone for their sexuality and then insist that they and their partner join you for dinner.

          Absolutely. Though who knows. Maybe the son originally felt really uncomfortable coming out and shame around the word but the dad has no problem saying it, partially joking, partially to insist it’s not shameful and he accepts it. And loves him. Definitely isn’t the norm, just, like I said, needs more context to truly make an accurate judgement

        Me and my mother will totally just call each other gay for doing gay shit. To be fair she is gay and I’m flamboyant as hell but very asexual. I don’t think it would be physically possible for either of us to actually insult the other. The roasting IS the family bond.

        My dad on the other hand would get a brick to face for even trying to say anything.

        Family can be weird yo

          Yep either the most wholesome family who roasts the fuck out of each other and vibes.

          Or a abusive house hold that’s on the brink of turning into a bad horror film.

          Open the front door and find out!
