ikr it’s so devastating when the people you love the most in the world and you know would do almost anything and everything to help/protect you do just the complete opposite of that and vote against you and your rights it’s such a confusing and conflicting feeling too such a mental battle
and when he told me i don’t get an inheritance unless i give him grandkids but my brother will get an inheritance either way. or when he told me that women belong at home, knowing that i want a career. or when he encouraged my eating disorder. or when he told me i looked great after i got sick and couldn’t eat for weeks. or when he grounded me for coming out as pansexual. or when he yelled at me for being a whore the first time i did my nails (i was in middle school).
it's so disheartening when i talk to my dad and remember that he genuinely views women as less than men. he will constantly reference stereotypes about women and claim that they are 100% true. the way he talks to my mom makes me pray that my boyfriend never switches up on me and speaks to me that way once we get married. like i want to look up to him but his values and his mindset are SO different from mine and its devastating
