feel a mix of frustration, betrayal, and disappointment in my relationship with my father, whose attitude seems inconsistent and self-serving. His respect and pride appear to depend on my success and potential benefits he might gain, rather than on genuine support or love. This shift from dismissive to boastful behavior has led me to question the authenticity of our connection. Recognizing these patterns, I’m considering establishing boundaries to protect my well-being and focusing on staying grounded in my own values and sense of self.
