My dad doesn't understand that I don't find this funny.

You know how some guys play-fight each other.

I spent my childhood actually getting hit and now when I react to him "playing", it's not a joke. It's out of genuine fear and adrenaline. But he never gets it. He interprets my reaction as playing.

And I can't talk to him about it because he'll just turn it into "your generation is too sensitive".

Yeah well maybe I wouldn't be so sensitive if you didn't terrify me as a child.

My life sucks. I spend every day just trudging through trauma issues and never being understood. It's exhausting.
