How about the realization that my family was REALLY fucked up even though it felt normal to me at the time?

I was never physically abused, though my parents believed in spanking, but I don't remember any serious spankings and I was always really obedient so I hardly ever got any at all, anyway. My dad's a big intimidating guy but I always knew he loved me, even if he could be kinda severe sometimes.

So one day he is looking through this box he got at a yard sale, and takes out this little toy like, plastic retractable knife? I would have used it for like, a prop for a play or something. It's the kind that you push it and the plastic blade goes inside the handle so it looks like the blade is actually going into whatever/whoever you're "stabbing".

My dad wasn't expecting to find it and kinda laughed and turned to me and got this fake angry voice, "I told you to do your chores!" and fake-stabbed me in the side.

And I freaked the fuck out.

Like, panicky, sobbing, really believed for a second there my dad had fucking STABBED me.

He was horrified, I was upset, and it was really disturbing to me afterwards, like - what's WRONG with me and/or my family that I actually thought for a second he'd DO that?

I told this story to a friend at college who thought my dad was just terrible for doing it at all, even if he was joking. Thoughts? :/

*braces self*

idk, if my dad did that to me then I probably would have found it funny because that's the kind of dynamic that we have. That doesn't mean your feelings are invalid though (you do mention after all that you find your father to be an intimidating person and it makes sense that you would freak out if he'd never really played those kinds of jokes on you previously to the incident) and I hope that you and your father are able to eventually work through the underlying trust issues that you have with him.

Oops, sorry, anon, misfire :(

How old were you at the time?

Maybe 15?
