I wish I have a real father. I do have a father but he is narcissistic and very mean to me. The way he treats me is very much like a brother picking on his sister. For example, whenever we go on walks together, my dad is always trying to make me feel bad by bringing up bad memories (I don’t like to be reminded how my sister and I got in a car accident with a Jeep, how I used to be scared of fireworks as a child, or how he and Mom put gates around the house because I liked to run a lot) or making me feel bad about myself (how I need to lose weight in order to fit in a wedding dress after passing a boutique wedding shop, or how I am not so good at tennis like the other tennis players at our local park). It is emotionally draining. I didn’t think to walk ahead of him or turn around because I didn’t expect him to be nasty, mean, and ruin our walk. He is a wild card, and totally unpredictable. He never does that to my sister because he is scared of her and he never does that to my brothers because one is smart and the other one is the golden child or something. I have complained about this to my other siblings and therapist and they were not much help. All they said was move out. But I do not like to move out because I have tried living on my own before (in a post-college intern program) and it wasn’t pleasant because the roommates were either dull or mean. And I never had enough money to buy groceries for myself or was allowed to cook my own meals. I wish I have someone who can act like a father to me. Someone who is like Mr. Walton or Pa Ingalls. Please send me a father mentor. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
