Do you think my dad will always be disappointed in me for mistakes I made years ago that I've never repeated?

Seriously, he still brings up shit from when I was a child...

lol, aren't all parents like that to some extent?
I wouldn't say disappointment though, it's more like to prove their point than anything.

@HoeBag uh, for example mom be like: remember when you were a kid and I told you that dude was no good for you and you didn't listen? and what happened afterwards? and now you're not listening to me about this guy you're with rn is bad for you also...etc

@SW-User That is easy - just remind them of a time they were wrong :)
They will shut up.

@HoeBag lol basically. XDDDD everyone makes mistakes, it's just part of growth 🤷‍♀️as long as you've learned something from it, you're gucci.

You just have to keep taking the high road. You obviously hurt him badly, but when he sees you've grown up and are a responsible adult and a productive member of society, that will all change. Just keep doing good things!

Ignore it, as he probably takes delight in you responding; but take some comfort from knowing he was never perfect (no-one is) and probably made many mistakes in his life.

Well... Just say.... You do realize how old I am now.... Maybe he'll stop.

My step dad is like that. He brings up things that happened like 30 or more years ago. Like, "Yes, we know, 1969 was such a horrible year in your life, NO ONE CARES!
Of course I do not interact with him for that reason.

Whatever mistakes you made when you were a kid no longer matter. Kids do dumb things. We do not dwell on it.
