Did my dad get too angry or am I spoiled?
The story
In Malaysia, I got too excited at a mall and wandered away from my mom, causing concern. My dad, fearing dangers like kidnapping, got angry, yelled, hit me, and said hurtful things, like blaming my love for art and claiming he only cares because I’m his child, not out of love. His words made me feel selfish and unempathetic, even though I regret what happened and love your family. Since then, I’ve been anxious, cautious, and focused on helping my mom, wondering if it's just teenage emotions or if there's truth to his criticism.

I get you're feeling anxious but I don't fully agree with your perspective; life's full of lessons and parents ain't perfect! People make mistakes and say stuff they don't mean... you know, actions speak louder than words! Right?
Your love and support for your mom is what really matters: think about it! Things ain't as bad as they seem and your dad loves you even if it doesn’t always shine through... just remember you're learning and growing, keep your head up and stay positive!
Well, I didn’t get mad at my dad, I got mad at myself. I know, I felt guilty for leaving her behind, but did my dad have to really go that far? Did he even go too far, or am I being a jerk? He called me unempathetic, a selfish spoiled girl, but I didn’t want to run away or scare him. I was excited, but then again, I may have done something very stupid which most folks won’t do.
Maybe I’m being like that phrase, “Kids these days”, being very overly emotional about this. But what he said really felt bad.
man i totally get yo story......parents can be really tough right.. i been there too!! feeling super anxious and alone (😞)... it's rough.. hearing harsh words they hit hard.... sometimes it feels like they don't understand what we're going thru. keeps you worrying, like all the time.... the strife is real, friend! i always thought my love for music was dismissed too... but hang in there, everyone’s fighting their own battles. we just gotta keep going...
Thank you, stranger. I get you, pal.
honestly, i don't buy the whole story, it sounds a bit dramatic 🤨 sure, getting lost can be scary, but making it a huge family drama feels off... people overreact all the time, and maybe your dad was just stressed; everyone has bad days and says stuff they don't mean. you probably need to chill out a little and not let things get to your head so much... sounds like you're letting this mess with your vibes way too much 😅 maybe just focus on moving forward and not dwell so much on the past, buddy!
