In reply to the discussion: BREAKING NEWS: Trump "perceived Tiffany as overweight" 4 real! [View all]cabot
(724 posts)59. I understand what you are feeling
My dad fat-shamed me as a kid, constantly told me that I was ugly and stupid. He'd smack me around and, when I was 12, my mom admitted to me that he never wanted a child. I let it torment me for years, never allowing myself the "right" to feel happy. Somehow, I believed that I didn't deserve it. Now, I'm finally at a point in my life where I'm focusing on feeling better about myself and pursuing my dream career.
Don't do what I did and wait. Anything you want to do, allow yourself to do it. I'd hate to think of another person wasting the years that I did, feeling horrible about themselves. You are not your dad's definition of you (thank you to my therapist).
I hope you get to a happier place much sooner than I did.
