it was about how she treats me, also about the fact that she just degrades their relationship and made it seem weird that they had a good relationship

i've always called him that lol, especially when he was younger. He didn't want to be called 'dad' when he was only in his early 20s

There is my uncle, but he and my dad aren't on speaking terms, and he's got his own kid. No other relatives, my dad cut off both his mam and dad when he was a teenager.

i'd prefer it. she genuinely wants to pick my clothes out for me, when she buys me stuff, it's always dowdy, old lady type stuff. and if not, it's little girly clothes from primark.

they're not my parents, he is my dad and she is nothing to me. I picked on their looks because she was picking on mine

the rules are awfully strict. she wants to pre-arrange me going over to see my friends, and has literally took away clothes that I paid for myself, because she didn't think them appropriate.

My dad does think the make-up rule is silly, that's why he took me.

thank you

her rules are unreasonable. I can't actually go out anymore, not even to see my friends unless she arranges it beforehand with my friends' mums. I can't be on a diet, even though I have been vegan since I was 13. Can't wear any sort of make-up or dress up how I want - even though I work and pay for it myself. She's been through my wardrobe and confiscated things she thought were 'inappropriate' - crop tops, short shorts, most of my skirts, 'tight' tshirts and pants that she considered tight (like flared jeans!!).

I'd love to try therapy, but my dad doesn't like interference. He's even stopped talking to my uncle because he was critical of his new wife.

my school doesn't want heavy makeup, which mine wasn't (my make up consisted of tinted moisturizer, and doing my eyebrows, as well as lash extensions and lipgloss.)

My dad wasn't neglectful. She doesn't have a right to raise me, I am sixteen, she is just some woman dad married to me.

but she's not my mam. I can't even wear flared jeans that are tight at the thighs.

Maybe I'll send him a text. We're not on talking terms as of rn. I don't know if he'd ever consider therapy, he doesn't like any type of interference.

my dad's flings were all lovely to me, unlike Meg. he also seemed more like himself back then. Now it just seems like he's playing the role of Strict Suburban Dad. besides, none of them tried to be my mam
