well that's ok. you might make peace when you're 50 or maybe never or maybe a lot sooner than that. who knows? but what's important is how you value yourself, regardless of other people's opinions.

and yeah, stick to your good grades, and find some mentors, as i was saying. you don't need to hang around with people who want to tell you that you're not ok. sad but true. let them buy a dog or something.

but i have to say though (this in the back of my mind), if your dad had any idea of what he's doing to you, he might not do that. if he knows but he can't help himself, he's got issues of his own to deal with. if he doesn't know, however, you might want to let him know. he might say yes and do a dance and still condemn you, though. but if you think it's worth a try, you should tell him.

discussing these sort of "explosive" issues however is so very tricky. i for example go apeshit easily. but it's always worth a try.

anyway i need to sleep. best wishes man.
