I am a 15-year-old vegan who is not going to grow much more. 5'2 is going to be my max height if anything.
My dad made tacos today and insisted that I eat the meat. I responded that I didn't want to then he proceeded to try to joke around with me once he had forced me to do so. I started crying because my mind always insists that I overreact, even whenever I'd rather not.
My dad, after 30 seconds of being dumb-founded and having a sad look on his face, said that,"I don't want anything special from you. I just want you to be my daughter." I feel so bad about not responding to that. What does he mean by that? Of course I'm his daughter.
It's probably another result to my mind overreacting, but what does he mean by "I just want you to be my daughter."? It didn't sound normal, it sounded more like a serious statement.
I need a quick and straightforward result. I hate making him upset, especially with how old he is and how much our mother is away. How do I make him feel better? I don't want to stop being vegan, I just want him to be happy.
