Resenting my African father
My dad keeps expressing how disappointed he is in me. Doesn’t want me to go to job interviews, keeps saying if I go to one why can’t I get the job (rejections exists mind u), complains when I go to the library, complains that I’m always on my phone, complains that I read too much. Complains that I’m always in my room (whenever we speak he uses it as an opportunity to put me down), keeps being obssessive asking about when I graduate etc. I already clean quite regularly and I don’t drink smoke or sleep around (no shame to those who do it’s a personal life choice) however he still dint pleased and I no longer care to please him. I find him extremely narcissistic and manipulative and feel like I am under a dictatorship. As soon as I have enough I want to pay for a lease behind his back and move out because I can no longer take it and plan on possibly cutting him off for the foreseeable future. I feel like I care about him but no longer like him as a person. Due to him being this way. He doesn’t let us wear makeup, trousers, nails, do lashes, eyebrows. Only skirts and dresses and he still isn’t happy with some of my outfits which I don’t care about anymore. Sorry this is long and thanks for readingggg
