I’m I don’t even know how to feel about my family. For example, most of the time I love my dad, but sometimes (like tonight) he’s so frustrating to deal with that I’m going to bed crying, and I wish we weren’t even related.

That’s somewhat normal, they’re people and people are frustrating. If you want to talk about it I’ll listen for a bit

Hiss birthday is on Sunday and his gift costed me $130 and I’m seriously considering returning it and telling him “maybe next year, if you know how to act like a grown up by then”

What did he do to you, that made you cry?

We disagreed about something small and he blows it out of proportion. He can NEVER admit that he’s wrong and when I say “you know what, this isn’t worth fighting over, let’s just be done with it” he can’t seem to move on. Literally 5 seconds goes by and he has to start again saying how wrong I am and how I’m trying to say that I’m an expert in his area of work. Which was not even kind of what I was saying. Then I wait 2 minutes for him to finish what he’s saying and then he won’t even let me

get 5 words out before he interrupts me. While he’s full on screaming the whole time and I’m just talking at a normal volume. Then my mom gets involved and tells him to stop, he says he won’t get past it until I do, and my mom says “she already has multiple times, but u just keep going”, and he just denies that I ever tried to end the fight and just kept escalating it while I sat there silently, until I literally just walked out and went to my room.

I’m sorry to hear that. That sound very hard to deal with and it most certainly feel like he don’t try to hear your point. So I get why you’re sad about it. Don’t return the gift since you already brought it but if you haven’t tried it, tell him how yesterday made you feel and see if you two can come to a mutual understanding

What is his area of work? Why did he feel so personally offended about it dang yeahh I can imagine. Do you feel comfortable saying? Is this like a regular thing or is this a special time that he felt particularly offended and blew up way harder

Uses a quality engineer at a large pharmaceutical company. We were talking about glasses. 👓. It’s pretty normal thing for him to have the inability to let things go, or say “let’s agree to disagree”. Even if I say that or just stay silent and let it go he just repeats himself and goes on and on until I leave.
