You really really should reflect on your story. Maybe your parents are absolutely wonderful in other things. I don't know.
But this one situation you are telling about, is just awful. You are not having normal conversations with your father.
He is putting you down on every turn.
AND it had an effect on you. You've been arguing about pretty ridiculous thing to be annoyed about for hours.
You've been dismissive, even if you say you try not to be, about different experience than yours. Just to get this on "right".

(Anonymous) 2025-03-01 06:22 am (UTC)(link)I am not sure if you are going to see this comment. And English isn't my first language so there are almost to none chances that I will get through to you.
But your father in this exact examples is being abusive. It doesn't mean you should stop seeing your parents. It means, that it would be beneficial to you to recognise abuse for what it is and to have boundaries for that.
First of all, you write that you make "mistakes" when you are distracted or tired. So your father harps on you when you are tired. This is already not a great thing. You are human and you supposed to be in a safe place with your parents. But you aren't.
You are telling your father that your friend is going to a restaurant you visited. So instead of discussing this restaurant or future plans your father derails the plot to teach you a lesson. "No, you are wrong, it was in February". Why does it matter? Why does he want to tell his child that they are wrong instead of having normal conversation?
Second time - you are complimenting his choice of tea and his advice. But even that isn't enough for him. He needs to put you down to your place of being always wrong.
From this story he has a need to be always right, to be always in power. Maybe it's only this small things, but frankly you sound in this thread like it isn't.
