My Dad started screaming and abusing me on Day 1 of my competitive exam prep.
I’m 18, just finished my 12th boards, and today was supposed to be my first day of serious prep for competitive exams. I had everything planned out—my study blocks, my diet for gym/bulking, everything.
I woke up at 7 AM, got straight to my books, and was mid-session around 10 AM. My dad walks in and starts losing it because I didn’t go to the park to "sweat and run" this morning. I told him I’m skinny and I have my workout scheduled for the evening so I can focus on studying now, but he didn't care.
He started shouting that I’m "barbad," calling me "behen***d," and threatened to break my laptop and stop my studies entirely. All because I wasn't physically running in the sun at the exact moment he wanted to see it.
I ended up leaving the house and just broke down crying at a nearby plot. My grandma eventually saw me and brought me back inside, but my mood is completely trashed. I’m trying to be disciplined and fix my future, but I’m being treated like a failure for actually sitting down to study.
