But my father is a different story. He’s supposed to love and protect me, but it feels like all he cares about is how I fit into his agenda. It was like the final nail in the coffin for all of the things I had already been unhappy with. It just really hurts to realize your parents might not care about your own happiness because they’re too focused on how you can help theirs. So I guess now I’m just trying to take back my life, but it’s hard, you know? He’s still my dad.”
