Back when I was 19, I noticed my hairline maturing, which I mistook for balding, my father reassured me and told me that it was just my hairline maturing and he slicked his hair back to show me that he had more hair loss than me (not sure how that was supposed to reassure me but whatever). I'm 27 and my hairline is still exactly the same as it was when I was 19 with no further progression and my father genuinely believes I won't go bald because he's 50 with 95% of his hair but I know I am fucked. My maternal grandfather is bald and both my maternal uncles are bald/balding. Uncle 1 had visible balding at his hairline at 29 (he's now 44 and shaves his head) and uncle 2 has vertex thinning at 39. My father thinks I'm safe just because he has 95% of his hair and his brothers aren't bald either and his father (my grandfather) had his hair aside from some crown thinning at 74. I know I am fucked, if my maternal grandfather passed his dog shit bald genes to both of my uncles, then I must have his shit genes too and my father not being bald doesn't mean shit because males only need to get the bald gene from one side of the family to express it. I am beyond fucked. I have no hair loss at the moment but I know it's going to come soon. This is also why I'm not going to have kids, I am not passing this disease on, it dies with me. When I start balding I'm going to off myself and I'm going to leave a note blaming my parents for my death. I stopped speaking to my father several years ago for a few months and he broke down in tears on the phone to my mother saying he loves me so much and wishes that I would love him back and my mother also broke down in tears when I stopped talking to her before. If I blame them for my death this will ruin their lives. I will ensure they spend the rest of their lives in misery feeling responsible for my death.
