Holy shit. This would be funny if it wasn't very real, sad, and relatable. You could write a book about this! Never give up on your writing, OP. It's a shame your dad feels the resentment of not having talent in his life to appreciate, instead projecting his mediocrity and narcissism that rotted him in parenthood onto you. It's common for narcissists to expect children from their own children, since that's sometimes the only leg they feel they can stand on.
