How come nobody believes my dad said this horrible thing to me?
Okay so one time, we were all having a party for one of my cousins and my dad was trying to teach me to dance. He bluntly told me, "Baby girl I gotta be honest. You can't dance at all." I was like, "You don't think I know that?" When my younger cousin (then 11 at the time) was dancing, everyone was AMAZED about how good she is. My dad said, "Now SHE can dance! That girls got moves." Everyone was like "You go girl!"
And "Get it!" I got jealous when my dad said she's a fabulous dancer. How embarrassing a kid is better than me.
Later when he continued to help me which became unsuccessful. Shockingly my dad told me, "You know what? Why don't you go look at yourself in the mirror, see your dance and see how pathetic you are! You are pathetic!" I thought my dad was joking. Then he said, "You realized I just insulted you right? What are you going to do?" How cam my own father say that to me. I was shocked and heartbroken. Nobody was around to hear that. Some people were at another part of the year chatting. I bursted into tears. I wanted to run away and cry in my room or get my mom, but I didn't. I stayed where I was at. My dad said, "Don't cry. You can do it."
My older cousin said, "Oh come on! Dont cry. So what if you're not a good dancer? You can still have fun. People may look at you but who's stopping you! Just have fun. You don't have to be the best at everything."
My dad was like, "Thank you! That's what I've been trying to tell her! Who the hell cares whag people think!" Why is my family so blunt? My 11 year old cousin even said, "Look people tease me for my dance moves but I dont care what they think and you shouldn't either. Plus a grown up crying because she can't dance is pathetic." When my mom came out, I ran to her crying. My dad was like, "Dont be cuddling up to her! She isn't going to save you. You're a grown ass woman." My mom said I need to stand up for my damn self and quit letting people insult me, even my own family members, call them out. This was two years ago. I told some others but they thought I was making it up and said my dad loves me and stop making up stories.
