Im writing an essay for my school activity today. My dad came and asked me to get him coffee i immediately stood up and prepared it .
I went up to him and gave him the coffee but i accidentally tripped over and spilled it on the carpet, "STUPID!! KNEEL DOWN AND SAY SORRY!! " He angrily said, no scratch that he was livid , i kneeled down. " Sorry dad im so sorry i didnt mean to spill it on the carpet" i was crying heavily , *pak!!* He slapped me "Thats your punishment for being stupid!!!" Then he walked away .
After 3 weeks
Im mopping the floor when i accidentally hit the vase and it got broken "shit my dad would be mad" i sighed heavily , my eyes grew wider when i heard some footsteps coming down the stairs "WHAT THE HELL KIND OF STUPIDITY DID YOU DO??!!!" He grabbed the mop and hit me with it " Sorry dad im so sorry " i cried but he wont stop hitting me , my arm is now bleeding because of the impact , "STUPID!!" then he walked away , i run towards my room forcefully and locked my door .
"Dad can we talk? " I asked my dad when i saw him watching TV
" Why?" He answered
" Can i ask if ever i did something wrong again please dont hurt me? Im going to attend a pageant next next week and i have to be clean" i pleased him.
" YOU DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO OKAY??! I AM! YOUR FATHER!!!" there he slapped me again
" YOURE THE WORST FATHER EVER ,YOURE THE WORST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!!" I fought back and kicked him for he wont stop hitting me
" SO YOURE FIGHTING BACK NOW?!!! HOW DARE YOU!!" then he continued slamming me on the floor
My mom came rushing towards us when she came , shes working abroad and its a surprise shes here but she came seeing this
" WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR DAUGHTER RONALD!!!!!" she shouted. My dad stopped " She fought back i was just telling her that i know what to do but she keep screaming and telling me how to be a father"
I was shocked "w-what? No that wasnt what happened!" My mom looked at me " Ronald you never experienced any harm from your parents but look at what u did to your child , you tell me shes a bad child and yet this is not the right punishment for her" She picked me up carefully and helped me walk towards my room .
" What happened?" She asked
" M-mom i just asked him not to hit me whenever i did something bad cause ill be attending a pageant " i said while sobbing ,she hushed me and comforted me then let me sleep in her arms
*Fast forward*
Im walking pass the hallway of my own house ,yes i moved out since i finished college * Knock knock* . I stood up and walked towards the door and opened it just to be shocked ....."Why are u here?" I said in a cold voice
"Can we talk?" The person in front of me answered
"No , whatever youre gonna say its nonsense now" I'm gonna slam the door shut when that person's arm blocked it .
"Im sick" he answered
" I was too but did you pay attention? No you just stood there , you never cared ,you keep on telling people im just being lazy and slacker I'm just doing it for attention" i said in a cold voice
" Im dying " he said again
" Im dead inside ,if not because of my friends , my friend that you keep on dragging away from me i wont be here in front of you" i bursted out
" Im sorry" he said
"Too late ,years late im finally successful im not forgetting my obligations as a daughter like how you forgot your obligations as a father , i saved money in your bank acc ask mom about it ." I explained
"But i want you to forgive me before i die" he weakly said
"Forgiveness is something ive done since i left you ,i wont save for you if i havent done it yet what im doing rn is self respect and love so please leave peacefully"i said then turned my back at him....at my father who did all his shits to me because he feels entitled to do so.
Im not saying here that you should disobey your parents but have self respect for yourself ,do your obligations to them in a way that you can still take care of your mental health .
To parents please be aware that your obligations and responsibilities are not given for you to use it as an entitlement to treat your kids like "just" its a responsibility not a title its something you shouldnt be slamming on your children's faces everytime they are telling their opinions respectfully and its against yours.
Give and take
Respect and obey
Peace✌️
