(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 ādonāt come running to me when you canāt get a boyfriendā and he referenced some movie saying heād have to start ārolling me to schoolā he would say this all the time, and take food off my plate saying āheās saving me.ā I didnāt eat a lot, I wasnāt really allowed pop or sweets, and looking at old pictures I wasnāt 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 āyour 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) thatās when I started to resent him. If I ever got mad at my dad heād 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. Heās got me 1 birthday gift all my life, tho heās bought 4-5 guitars, I play music too but heās never got time for me, Iām expected to nurture my relationship with my father, since I was a kid this was expected of me, I donāt bother, I canāt get past the resentment I have for him, I never felt loved by my dad, and my mom just follows his every will. Iām not no contact with them but have been distancing myself, mostly from my dad, it has always hurt me that my dad wasnāt close to me, I always felt like a dissapointment, like he wanted a better daughter who was prettier and skinnier and I wasnāt good enough. I was bullied in school but my dad was my biggest bully..
