I am sorry that you are having these problems. Unfortunately, most parents are like this. The only thing I can say is to keep your head up & hope he will read it and listen to you.

I don’t know what the situation is or what happened, but I hope your dad will calm down a bit and not be so mad at you. It’s always tough when family members aren’t happy with you, especially when it’s not your fault and people are upset with you. I hope he reads the email and decides for himself what it was all about.

That sucks that they’ve misinterpreted things and gotten upset with you.
Hopefully they’ll come around though, once they’ve read the email/letter, but even if they don’t, at least you have a clear conscience and know you didn’t do anything wrong.

OMG. O.o

I read all those previous post just now.

I think what you did was right. That may just be a start. let her be mad at you. But try to explain if you got time or if she lets you to. Soon enough she’ll realize what you’ve done for her. And will be grateful for it.

Wtf, that’s so unfair, immature, dismissive and close-minded of him to not even READ it and THEN decide.

Wow. That’s definitely not fair to you at all, especially from you own father. What is it with parents thinking that they will FOREVER understand things better than their kids. Don’t they know that we’ll always experience things differently? Sure they may be able to relate via circumstance…but overall everything has its own unique mark.

I can’t believe your Nana is mad at you either. ARGH!!! What is it with family these days?! And that is completely unacceptable that your dad deleted your email. That seems childish in my opinion. You were just trying to help by explaining the TRUTH.

Let them deal with your cousin. Eventually she won’t be able to hide her “real self” and your family will realize that you were right to warn them and they were wrong to ignore you. People who don’t appreciate what they have (e.g. your cousin) can’t keep that sort of personality trait hidden forever, it will soon come to light.

Family members can be your worst enemies sometimes when they don’t even realize it. They think they know you better than anyone when really it is completely the opposite and all they can do is be in denial.

*hugs* I feel your frustrations…

I’m sorry your dad isn’t even considering your point of view. I have problems with my dad but at least he listens to what I have to say (even if he already has made up his mind). I really hope things work out!

Family is sooo damn complicated.

Oh yah and I forgot to ask…is your title related to the Austin Powers song?! You wanna know something silly…I bought the soundtrack CD for that song back in the day. XD I thought it was too clever!!

Daddy wasn’t there…to take me to the fair…

I’m sorry you’re dealing with all of this family drama :/. I hope your dad starts listening to ya and things work out soon!

Awe, sometimes life just isn’t right. I wish I had some good advice for you, but it looks like you’ve already tried everything I would have tried.
