Best thing that happened to you today?

😬
maybe it IS a good thing then
Why talk to people who despise you:kayneshrug:
Not even sure myself… the society I was raised in demands you to keep looking for your elders stamp of approval… yet I know for a fact that the choices I’m making for my life will always be met with Zero support by my family membersAnd it’s not because they actually all believe opposite of me.., it’s simply all of the others are pawns in my father’s hands.. they simply say whatever words he wants them to say…

So, even if they at start believed in something else… because they don’t want to get on the bad side of my father.. they simply do whatever he wants.. that includes going against my choices for my own life disregarding it’s my life.. my choices, my career, and I’m the one after 10 years will be with regrets if I didn’t go after the life I wanted…

For them… they will lie after 10 years and say “no one forced you to accept” and “we don’t remember… that was 10 years ago” and so on… no one will take responsibility except myself in future..

Your father is a narcissist andthe rest of your family are pathetic.
Don't try to gain their approval.
It won't make you happy.
People like your father are only happy when they can make othera miserable.

And don't accept the "iT's oUr CuLtUrE" excuse. Every society can and has to evolve.

I wish you the best for your future, follow your dreams! I know it’s hard because you can’t say: "I don’t care about my father."
It’s still sad that he doesn’t support you but I’m sure that you will be successful in your future job.

you can’t say: "I don’t care about my father."
Well, you can :kayneshrug: my dad used to be a light version of his dad. Good that he changed over the years. I can now have normal conversations with my dad from time to time, ~ 10 years ago this was not possible.

One has to show their parents that one is NOT ok with their demanding, elitist behavior. Maybe they are not fully aware how they are ruining their relationship with you, maybe they were raised like this and don't know how to do better.
Some parents can actually improve over the years when they understand that they were wrong in showing this kind of behavior towards their children.

But those who don't, just fuck them.

Yes you’re right but it’s always painful to do that. It’s the right thing to do but still sad

Yes it's sad. But if someone has a dad who is like Judge, there's no other way.
Another big problem is toxic masculinity in some cultures. Men who have toxic masculinity have a very hard time understanding that they are wrong with something or that they made a mistake.
That's why I said that "iT's oUr CuLtuRe" is not an acceptable excuse. Toxic masculinity is not limited to a specific culture, it can grow in any culture that allows it.

Lol.. dad like Judge

I already stated before in other thread that my story and Sanji’s story are pretty similar.. it’s one of the reasons why he’s my favorite character in the series and I feel the closest to him
