TIFU by deciding to take shrooms with my bf at his house while his parents was present.
Hi y’all, before I dive into what happened last night, Here is some context. My bf and I are in our early 20’s and on weekends we typically smoke weed and on occasion dabble in shrooms. We both work reg 9-5 jobs but with this economy, we are both still living with our parents. This weekend, we decided to take shrooms, and my boyfriend mentioned that he wanted to take more than usual.
Typically, we split between taking it at my house and his. I live with only my dad, and he’s often away during night for his work, and my bf suggested to take it at my house, but ultimately, I tell him that we should take it at his where his parents were present. His room is in the basement, fairly secluded and we usually go for hours uninterrupted. We have done shrooms before in this situation, and thought nothing would happen, or so I thought.
We decided to take some (with him taking a gram more than usual) at around 9:30 and binge watched shows, ate, you know the normal stuff. At this point it is around 1 am. His dad was still upstairs watching some shows and drinking, like he usually does on weekends. Eventually my boyfriend gets up, sweaty, saying “I gotta puke.” Oh no. “Are u okay?” I asked.
However at this point I was drifting in and out of consciousness as I was getting super tired. He runs upstairs where the washroom is.
Next thing I realize:
His dad is in the basement. I hear him utter the words, “what the fuck, man!?”. I thought to myself, what the hell. I am in bed at this point all snuggled up to his blanket. I see my boyfriend, taking his stash of shrooms from the closet and handing it over to him. Half asleep, all I did was his dad a blank stare of confusion.
They go back upstairs. Confused, I stay in the bed. My bf comes back downstairs, freaked out, saying how he thought he took poison and admitted to his dad of taking shrooms. He was having a bad trip, and went on a tangent about how him and his dad’s complicated relationship, tearing up. He told me he was having conversation with him that turned into him basically admitting of using shrooms. What the hell, sure why not.
After our conversation, his dad came downstairs. My bf decided to continue his tangent and told him to come to the room, still tearing up, trauma dumping (?) and admitting his complex relationship with his dad while I was in bed and his dad was by the door. I look at his dad confusingly and still tripping, saying “i am sorry, I think he’s having a bad dream.”, his dad just as confused, goes back upstairs.
Furthermore, he decided to call the ambulance as he explained to me, he believed he was going to die. Luckily, the operator was chill and obviously could tell he was on something. Later on they called back and asked if he still needed the ambulance, which he thankfully declined. This morning, he explained that he only admitted that he used it and from what I am aware of I am outside of the equation of this whole situation.
I just regret not taking at my house instead. This whole ordeal could’ve been avoided, if I made the right call.
Furthermore, though he has reassured me, I am worried that his parents will raise suspicion on me using shrooms. His parents and I get along and I am well liked by them, and I understand I am an adult, but I am worried this will somehow negatively impact my relationship with his parents, especially his dad.
TL;DR I told and decided to my bf that we take shrooms at his house with his parents present, though he had mentioned to me that he was going to take more than usual. My bf has a bad trip and admits to his dad of using shrooms, and decides to call an ambulance.
