Dear dad II
Once again I realize I am a leash's length away from you no matter how hard i try to move around and live my own life, I try to grin and bear it, now i have a steady job...

So once again I made the mistake of being honest with you, not only has it proven me right about you, but it has also showed me a very ugly side of that I desperately tried to pretend that it didn't exist. But this time I made the mistake of confiding into you one of my most important matters, I thought it would bring you relief that I can actually show you some trust, but I was wrong, you didn't deserve it, because like I feared, you ached to use it against me at the fist given opportunity just to flail and shout about how right you are.

Its only because it was in front of my mom and sister, well if you think I aimed to disrespect you, bear in mind that it was you who disrespected all three of us, and all I asked you is to refrain from talking ill about another woman, because YOU of all people experienced someone talking about your own women, you should know better.

You wouldn't listen to me, because I am a woman, and I am younger than you, well you may be my dad but that doesn't automatically make you all the more knowledgeable than I am, you won't accept that times are changing, you wont accept that someone younger is capable of excelling in their job and life where you failed.

I never denied your financial favor, but to be honest, isn't that what a dad is supposed to do?
Or is it because your father was never there that you think taking care of living costs for your own family is a privilege they have to earn?
We try and talk, yes, but all you aim at is point how wrong I am and how right you are, this is NOT what this is about, it's about discussing properly the different points of view that lead to this misunderstanding to begin with, please get out of the military mentality and start talking like a father.

NO ONE is out there to get you, though one moment you rave on and on about how everyone is waiting to ambush you, and the next you claim that "nobody cares".

You as usual panicked to have been shown that you're wrong, you don’t stick you hand into the hornet's nest and expect it to come out un-stung; moreover, you don't curse the hornets for doing what is only natural.

Paying money doesn't equal raising a child, anything we learned to confront life with we didn't learn from you, you only taught us to be defensive and expect only and only evil in everybody, now to the point where you suspect us yourself, I said it before, you deeply and sincerely wish that we commit something dreadful just to savor the satisfaction of being right. Do you really care about "us"? Or perhaps that term doesn't even exist, there is just "I" and "I do for you", "Obey me", "your rebellion", ".. your stab". Do you even know what you're saying before you accuse us of misusing words?
