...See more No matter what I do my dad is convinced he’s the wisest man ever and always says I don’t try hard enough. He’s also pretty bigoted but that is aside the point right now. Just finished sophomore year of high school and got lots of congrats from basically everyone I know and also had fun with a friend today. Dad just says my grades aren’t good enough and that I need to try harder. Im gonna be real in that I have been waiting to turn 18 for ages now so I can go no contact. Or at least only when absolutely necessary contact. I mean he gaslights me and says that I’m brainwashed especially if im mad at him cuz he feeds me, houses me half the time (2 weeks on/off with mom), and gives me money and says I should be grateful for the bare minimum. Of course he’s just about the most emotionally abusive person ever I mean I could say more but idk too tired and trying to be considerate of y’all’s emotions as well. Anyways I totes crashed out at him like 10 mins ago which was messy but like I don’t even care I just want to be free of this absolute garbage. And my mom is so sweet and understanding idk why they ever liked each other. I’m just so grateful for her and all my friends and this app cuz I’m a year and a half fruit ninja free and I’d love to stay that way. But istg dads are so eughhfhjfhfhjfjfjf. Also advice tho should I appeal to the court for full custody to my mom cuz I wanna do that but also I use my tablet for work and he might shut it off plus it’s expensive to pay for and he’s gonna be paying for my phone soon most likely. It’s irritating how confident he is too like eughthgh. Oh and my tablet is for my work (I’m a poet in my town and I need all the online storage I can get lolz). Anyways I’m feeling very keyboard smash prone and conflicted and I can’t believe he says I don’t try hard enough when he’s a musician who can’t keep a band and also a freakin DoorDash driver and he’s talking about success smh. Anyways sorry goodnight tho.
