So sorry for your loss. It's never "just a pet' they are our worldsEvery day for the last few weeks as we lost our beautiful dog, he had heart failure and his last few hours are haunting me. My heart feels so empty and I know some will say it is just a dog but he was such a huge part of my life.
youre not stupid and uselessJust now because my dad called me stupid and useless. I should be used to it because he's always been so cruel but it hurts each time. Nothing I do is ever good enough.
Thank you, you're the best.youre not stupid and useless
As above, you are not stupid or useless and besides, what kind of a father says that to his daughter? (Mine is the same by the way ive been non contact for a year now) .Just now because my dad called me stupid and useless.

Thank you, I'm sorry to hear yours is the same, it's hard being around abusive, narcissistic parents. I hope the non contact is helping you. I've been saving to move out for a while now but I always end up staying because I feel sorry for my mum. He's nice when he wants help with something but otherwise I'm all the names under the sun.As above, you are not stupid or useless and besides, what kind of a father says that to his daughter?

it's not a pity party, i totally get you. i put so much effort into doing things for people on their special days and it hurts when they don't do it back. your feelings are valid! also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY of courseI know this will come across as a pity party, but just now. Today is my birthday and so far only 2 out of 3 kids have wished me a happy birthday plus my husband(kids are all over 10yrs old and everyone is home today). I've had a bottle of expensive liqueur from them all which wasn't even wrapped and is something I would never drink. No cards at all and 2 texts/WhatsApp messages from my relatives, who live within 15mins of me. I've done the food shopping, washed up, done 3 loads of washing/drying and put it all away and cleaned the toilet/bathroom.
I like to make others feel special on their birthdays and like to pick cards out which show I've thought of them. Oh and I bought a small bouquet of pink roses reduced to £1.60 earlier to cheer myself up.
You are neither of those things - and what he has said is more of a reflection on him as a person than it is of you. You're fab and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.Just now because my dad called me stupid and useless. I should be used to it because he's always been so cruel but it hurts each time.

It will always hurt but you are good enough. Give yourself a massive hug. And tell him to sod off xJust now because my dad called me stupid and useless. I should be used to it because he's always been so cruel but it hurts each time. Nothing I do is ever good enough.
Thank you for your lovely words! Telling him to sod off gives him more ammunition so I try to bite my tongue and walk away. xIt will always hurt but you are good enough. Give yourself a massive hug. And tell him to sod off x
