my dad doesn’t believe in me, or really know anything about me.
he thinks i’m a failure, chutiah, etc.
If he doesn’t know anything about you, why would it matter what he thinks about you?
A part of becoming adult is realizing that your parents are just random people with no magical powers. Their opinions are just… their opinions. Could be right, could be wrong, could be anything. If someone who isn’t your parent said the same thing, would you care?
I’m still going to care because he’s my father and I love him and care about him. And also becase I don’t like ideas that are about discouraging caring.
I’m going to feel the pain that comes with caring, but that’s fine. And yes his opinion is wrong and is not going to stop me anymore.
There are plenty of others who care about and respect my work and unlike my dad’s disrespect, that can actually go into making me money and increasing what I can do.
Thank you for the support btw, I really appreciate it <3
Sometimes the solution is just not to talk about certain topics. (But this requires cooperation from the other side.) For example, I don’t discuss politics with my mother, because that would be predictably frustrating for both sides.
Maybe there is a good boundary for you, for example don’t discuss your job? (Or stick to technicalities, such as salary.)
