Here’s some background: I’m a minor, my parents are divorced, and we have a 8-6 day split (I’m with my mom for 8 days, then my dad for 6). For awhile now, my dad and I have butted heads over me not calling or texting him for long periods of time (read: five days at most). Like, I’ll go over to his house and he’ll get mad at me and call me ungrateful and shit, and then he’ll start talking about how I don’t get out enough or talk enough. But that only happened like once every couple weeks, and since we’ve been talking a lot more now, it stopped happening.

But this week, I slipped up, and I didn’t contact him for 7 days. So, not wanting to get yelled at again, I pretended like nothing was wrong for a few hours. I kinda thought that it was water under the bridge - I was wrong.

Last night, he came into my room to talk, and I knew exactly what it was about. I just thought it would be the usual. But it turns out this was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

So, first he asked me why I didn’t call him, and I didn’t answer because everything explanation sounds like an excuse to him. So then he went on to tell me that I was never happy, and that my poker face was disrespecting him, and then he asked me how I would feel if he got rid of my room and made me sleep on a bunk bed with my brother, and I told him that I didn’t know how I would feel because it was hypothetical, and then he said he could make it happen tomorrow.

Then he said that I could talk for hours about stuff that no one gave a “rat’s ass” about, then called me shitty again, and left my room.

And then this morning on the way to school, he said a I was a selfish person who didn’t appreciate my family because I didn’t text or call them enough, and that I didn’t appreciate my friends because I hung up on them one night because they kept shouting at each other, and then told them to stop calling me back for the night. Then he got mad at me because I wasn’t talking, and I told him it was because I was trying to find something to say to explain myself other than “I was really busy with homework and testing and presentations”, and he told me to stop thinking.  Then he called me smug for not talking, and called me selfish because I didn’t take a picture of our Christmas tree and send it to my grandma because she bought me tinsel. The end.

TL;DR: I didn’t contact my dad for 8 days and he called me selfish and unappreciative.

not texting or calling my dad for 8 dayso
