Should I feel bad for distancing myself?
Post Body

(22F) Probably not nearly the worst one here, but all through elementary and middle school my dad would call me fat, I have vivid memories of him driving me to school telling me ā€œdonā€™t come running to me when you canā€™t get a boyfriendā€ and he referenced some movie saying heā€™d have to start ā€œrolling me to schoolā€ he would say this all the time, and take food off my plate saying ā€œheā€™s saving me.ā€ I didnā€™t eat a lot, I wasnā€™t really allowed pop or sweets, and looking at old pictures I wasnā€™t fat at all, I was healthy, growing up. In middle school I started cutting, he found out, called me into his room one morning while he was half sleep in bed, he asked to see, then just said ā€œyour fucked upā€ and went back to sleep, I cut again that night.. A couple years ago I was talking to my dad, and smoking a joint, I brought up the stuff he said about my weight as a kid, he denied it, gaslit me and tried to make himself the victim (by saying I was playing the victim and fabricated it) thatā€™s when I started to resent him. If I ever got mad at my dad heā€™d shut down and act like a child, my mom would have to tell me he thinks I hate him and to go say sorry to him, but usually it was my weight and I refused to apologize for getting upset about the mean stuff he said to child me. Because of this I grew up struggling with body image all my life. My dad never really hugged or said he loved me, unless I did, but even then it was always forced. Heā€™s got me 1 birthday gift all my life, tho heā€™s bought 4-5 guitars, I play music too but heā€™s never got time for me, Iā€™m expected to nurture my relationship with my father, since I was a kid this was expected of me, I donā€™t bother, I canā€™t get past the resentment I have for him, I never felt loved by my dad, and my mom just follows his every will. Iā€™m not no contact with them but have been distancing myself, mostly from my dad, it has always hurt me that my dad wasnā€™t close to me, I always felt like a dissapointment, like he wanted a better daughter who was prettier and skinnier and I wasnā€™t good enough. I was bullied in school but my dad was my biggest bully..
