This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The boyfriend interpreted as a bonding moment.

The father meant his placing the gun as a threat and got "called" on his bluff and gets angry.

I mean I kinda understand the threat and bonding mismatch from what we have. The part where he gets angry is missing.

Dad doesn't like losing the illusion of power. He thinks it's perfectly fine to threaten someone but is a hypocrite the moment he met with equal force. So they tried gaslighting and getting defensive and blaming the person that they tried to threaten.
