A good idea would be to readthese guides; they tell you exactly how to write something that informs people about who someone is and why they're funny. If you want an OP to be good and well received, just posting it up without any sort of review (Especially from a phone where you don't have the full set of tools to format your post properly) would be a bad way of doing it.
Also you name him Joseph in the middle of the post without establishing that as his name in the title or earlier, so that might be something to think about, just structure-wise.

Have you ever taken a look at the narcissistic entitlement that is the estranged parent community?
Here's an entire thread on one such forum where estranged parents fantasize about things like being able to drag their adult children to court to sue them for 'abandonment', where the adult child would be required to make a case for why they want nothing to do with their parent(s) in order to be given permission to associate or dis-associate with whomever they choose. Some highlights below:
What's particularly funny about that second-to-last screenshot is that the poster proudly proclaims that psychologists are studying that forum and others like it. This is true, but it's not at all for the reason they think it is.
What's the average poster on these forums like?
If you can get past the initial disgust, it's all kind of hilarious in a way. This might be a good candidate for a Community Watch thread but someone more experienced than I is welcome to take the reins on that.
Edit: adding some things in case someone does want to take this further, as it was moved out of General Discussion into this thread.
Here we have user Hootie, who is such a lovely person, that she reports how sad she was when her daughter-in-law became pregnant, because now the DIL would "always be a cancer on our family". She also displays many of the traits listed in the list of common abusive beliefs/traits I posted above toward her youngest son, who isn't estranged (yet).
And here we have Yellow Rose, who despite all of her children wanting nothing to do with her, still could not possibly be at fault for the estrangement.
Daughter makes [an allegedly "ugly and cruel"] social media post about how you decorate your house? Pull the college fund!
Notice these people seldom (if ever) provide anything concrete. It's always vague descriptions of supposedly horrible behavior directed at them, never any "receipts" so to speak or exact quotes of what was said, or transcripts if it was written in an e-mail or text message.
I stumbled upon some interesting drama from last month, apparently some guy in the Twitter NSFW art community named Rocki (formerly known as CockLobstarrrrr or nrm_draws, now going by PeebisArt - Archive) has been befriending a bunch of bigger artists and begging for free art of his shitty OCs. He appears to be incredibly emotionally manipulative and frequently posts long tirades in discord venting channels about how he's not getting enough free fan art.
Consider the following video a trailer to the bizarre world of Andrew “Andy” Ditch:
And now, the background:
Andy Ditch is a 34 year old man who lives at home with his mother, father, and brother. He is currently doing everything he can to convince the world that he has autism so that he can be placed in a group home. However, most of the medical professionals he has met with have agreed on other diagnoses. Videos on his youtube channel span from 2011 to 2020.
Andy's older videos (2011-2018 ) are not particularly interesting. His life seemed relatively ordinary during this period. He gets along with his family, he speaks relatively normal despite his learning disability. He also mentions being diagnosed with autism at age 32.
2019 was the year everything went absolutely insane.
February:
At some point in February 2019, Andy was arrested. I can't discern an exact reason for his arrest, but in other videos he references being in jail for some time and being evaluated by doctors while there.
June and July:
June 2019 finds Andy living in a hotel room. He's filled the room with junk he bought and there's visible shit stains on the bed linens (at 1:25 in above video). His language skills seem to have changed for the worse and he will hit himself in the head out of frustration. He blames his dad and APS for most of his problems.
September:
This seems to be the month that police begin to make regular visits to the Ditch household. They are often called there by Andy whenever he feels slighted by his family, whom he no longer gets along with.
Andy tries to place blame for his family being sick on other things (dirty house, stomach virus, etc). Andy also records himself digging through his bathroom trash and showing the viewer a number of diarrhea filled diapers to prove that he too was sick:
November:
Can things get worse? Andy tries to kill himself by taking 12 hydroxyzine tablets (an antihistamine, according to wikipedia). Other videos from November are repetitive and exhausting, with Andy hyperfixated on proving he has autism, arguing with his family, and stating that he wants to be put in a group home.
December:
December provides us with two very informative videos. The following is the most clear example of an argument between Andy and his father.
Some of the documents Andy shows include medical dictations and other related paperwork; which offer us the most objective assessment of what is actually wrong with Andy. The video is unfortunately recorded in vertical screen mode, but I have stitched together and highlighted some of the key diagnosis information at the end of the post. In the spoiler, I've typed up some of the things Andy's been diagnosed with according to those documents:
A speech- language evaluation report from July 2019 lists 'mixed receptive-expressive language disorder' and later 'auditory processing disorder, Tourette's syndrome, and sensory deficits' as Andy's diagnosis.
In November 2018, a doctor who had seen Andy multiple times diagnosed him with schizoaffective disorder, depressive type, and an absence of autism spectrum disorder. He states that ' Mr. Ditch seems bent on receiving a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Disorder. He seems to have read up on the condition and is familiar with some of the buzzword terminology and he appears to embrace some of the subjective criteria about which he has read or otherwise been informed.
Another doctor (Dr. Wolin) did diagnose Andy with autism as well as Tourette's in August 2018.
A dictation from February 2010 lists bipolar, impulse control disorder, and ADHD in Andy's history. The psychiatrists summation in this same document lists 'ODD, impulse control disorder, and bipolar'. as well as ''pervasive developmental disorder, something along the autistic spectrum disorder (although when one goes through the old record, there is no such axis I diagnosis)'.
January 2020:
Only one video so far and a couple Facebook posts. Andy's currently living in a shelter and seems to like it there.
more Kim and Matt goodness. They found a reddit thread about them (I'm having trouble finding it, link it if you can find it) and they're commenting on every post. it's an hour long. fuck.
The ED page only covers the deviantart fun- she was creating pedophillic content of the Powerpuff Girls and the Gangrene gang, apparently, among stealing other art, and writing shitty Jeff the Killer fanfiction. Pretty typical. So what makes her so special is that *everything* is an attack on her. She will flip her shit at anything and everything, then turn around and claim she's suicidal and too autistic to know better when called out.
So, since she was "forced" to delete her Deviant Art, where has she been? Why, reddit, of course! The best part is she deletes absolutely nothing. I'm going to link the accounts I've found thusfar, and I've been watching for awhile now. If anything, it's going to be a very entertaining read!
Basically, she's a fountain of untapped autistic crazy. I've been watching and have been blocked by all her accounts I've found because I keep trying to explain that she needs to find some fucking maturity. It is quite literally watching Chris Chan happen all over again. The similarities are staggering. So much so you'd think they were some kind of siblings or twins even.
DestinyMoon is past due for a thread. If you spend any time in the SJW Art and Extremes thread, you'll be familiar with her work. She is a trans-fetishist and insists on drawing fan art of every popular fandom in existence and turning them trans, gay, fat, and covered in stretchmarks.

She draws herself hairy, acne-riddled, and morbidly obese for tumblr clout when in reality she is a thin white girl with clear skin and moderately attractive features.
