Did my dad get too angry or am I spoiled? (Full version)
The story
Well, the mall incident in Malaysia. I got too excited, so I went far away from my mom to a side of a mall’s store where she couldn’t see me, then my brother found me. My dad said I could’ve gotten kidnapped, trafficked, organs sold, & raped. I know, I just forgot for a moment because I got too excited, but I blame myself. My dad then, in the hotel, proceeded to hit me, yell at me, call me a bad word & then he said I didn’t care about the family, I went because I got selfish, he blamed my liking to art, & then he said he only cares for me because I’m his child, not because he loves me, even saying if I were a neighbor’s kid, I’d be a bad example to him. I know he was angry, but I think he was right. That I’m unempathetic, that I’m selfish, & I don’t care about the family. Well, I do love them, I felt bad from what I did, I felt dumb, but is he right? Afterwards, I got tired, scared to talk to him, scared of getting lost in a mall, & I always ask my mom how I can help her. Maybe it’s just teen stuff, maybe my hormones & my overreaction are making me sad & tired.

sounds like ur overthinking a bit 😅 adults get mad but they're not always spot on sometimes, just chill 🙌 like ur dad probs worried but that don't mean he's always right tbh u gotta stay real and not stress too hard... family probs sure, but who doesn't have them eh?! don't beat yourself up too much, you're just learning and growing like the rest of us!
ur story's a real kicker 🤦♂️
honestly i get it! parents freak out and u probs did mess up!!! when i was a kid i got lost too but hey didn't mean i was off my rocker😅 sounds like u were asking for trouble tho!!!! art makes ya selfish maybe? :p not sure but whatevs!!!! ur dad was mad yeah but maybe he's got a point kinda!!!!!! sometimes u gotta just deal with the drama and move on, ya know 🙄
I didn’t wanna harm him. But I do find it hard to move on, he was really angry & so mean.
Your dad was worried but I feel he could have said it in a different way. He shouldn't have hit you, I'm sorry he did :(. His worry doesn't give him the right to say he only loves you because you're his child. That's so messed up. I think he got too angry, you're not at fault at all. Kids wonder off sometimes and it scares their parents but it shouldn't have gone to this length. I hope you're doing well and don't blame yourself <3
