Where did I go wrong? My father crushed my dream and life changing money.

Storytime

I'm 24M, started with a FD of 16 lakh,i started frequenting r/indianstreetbets a lot in October and came across precious metals etf and discussion around them,I was always attracted by PM and i consider it superior to currency. I withdrew the 16 lakh(after maturity)

I Bought 3.25kg silver at 129-135 rate on average

10gm gold at 120000~

6lakh~ precious metals etfs and related stocks.

In nov my father found out I had taken the money out,he thought I got duped into a scheme or got into gambling and blew everything,he was furious and forced/treathen me to sell it all at 170 per gm and 125000 for the 10gm gold

Now it stings me so much because just 29 days after that event it's 250 per gram In total i have missed an opportunity of 9.5 lakh as of today, a life changing sum that would have given me a real portfolio. Now i don't know how many years it'll take for me to ever see something like this,my heart aches my dreams are smashed by stupid parents who'd happily get duped by outsiders but not trust someone who knew his intuitions.

Everything went well but i forgot to factor in human stupidity of others just a month before striking gold of lifetime.
