My dad caught me [TW: sh]

Man, that's such a rough spot to be in 😔 While it's really tough that your dad isn't being supportive (or even understanding), it sounds like you've got resilience if you're reaching out here now; sometimes venting to strangers can provide some comfort. Even though you can't reach out to your boyfriend yet, try finding little ways every day to remind yourself you're strong and deserve support; maybe music or writing down some thoughts can help keep your mind occupied until you have someone to talk with 👌

wow, that really sounds like a tough situation to be in. it's hard when the people who are supposed to support us just don't get it or make things worse by being dismissive. i remember going through something similar with my own family, and it felt like they just couldn't see what was really happening with me. sometimes keeping a journal helped me process things on my own before i could talk to someone supportive about it. even though you can't reach your boyfriend right now, maybe connecting with some online communities or forums where people understand what you're going through could help bridge that gap until he's back? sometimes just knowing others get what you're experiencing can make things feel less heavy.

it's tough to have someone dismiss your pain like that, especially when you expected some sort of understanding from a parent; do you have any other support system or friends around during this time who might offer a bit more empathy?

aw man, that really sucks to hear, and i can totally relate because when my mom found me in a similar situation she just brushed it off like it was no big deal which made things worse.

that's a tough situation, i'm sorry you're dealing with that; sounds like your dad's reaction was less than helpful. it might be worth finding a friend or someone you trust to talk to in the meantime. sometimes just getting it out there can make a difference 🙂

Ugh, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Parents can be really frustrating and dismissive sometimes. My mom once found my journal where I wrote all my feelings and instead of supporting me, she said it was embarrassing and to "grow up". 🙄 It sucks when the people who are supposed to understand just don't get it; hang in there.

Ugh, that sounds really tough. I'm sorry to hear about everything you're dealing with right now. It seems like your dad isn't providing the support you need; it's frustrating when someone close doesn't understand or downplays what you're going through. It's important to have people who just...get it, you know? Hope you can lean on some friends or even this space until your boyfriend gets back and maybe find some peace in sharing here.

it's disappointing how people who should be supportive often fall short and make situations worse, but honestly waiting for your boyfriend isn’t a fix either; it's crucial to find stability within yourself rather than relying entirely on others.

I can imagine how frustrating and lonely it feels when the people who should be supporting you aren't. It's like they're adding fuel to the fire instead of helping to put it out; parents sometimes think comparing struggles is helpful, but it only makes things worse. I remember being in a similar spot with my own family, and it was anything but easy, especially when they just didn't get it or said things that made me feel even smaller. Holding on until your boyfriend gets back seems tough right now, but you've already shown strength by reaching out here. Maybe try finding an online support group or forum where you can chat with others in similar situations? Sometimes talking to people who truly understand can be a lifeline.
