Hi, I will start by saying one, this is my first time making any type of post on Reddit and I“m not very sure how to do it but I“ve seen people get great advice here so I“ve decided to give it a try, two, English isn“t my first language so I apologize for any grammar mistakes, I (13F) have an astranged relationship with my dad (56M) to say the least, we live in the same house but we never talk or interact other than saying a basic "Good morning", since I remember he“s never been there for me, we could only spend time on his terms which is doing something he likes, never something I like and the few times I tried it didn“t turn out well, the biggest memory I have of him is him forcing me to bike 5km straight at 6 a.m., not letting me eat beforehand, and he wouldn“t stop when I wanted to drink water and kept going which made me panicked that I would loose him in the crowd so I didn“t get any time to drink at all, I was 9 years old and then he forced me to go back to the car, which was another 5km, other than that and him forcing me to excercise myself he doesn“t really do anything with me, he constantly triggers my sensory issues just because he likes to see me annoyed, he didn“t belive I had autism for a while and would scream at me in the car when I cried to him that my old school wasn“t beingb accomodating because "I would stress mom out if she saw me crying", he isn“t violent he just screams a lot when he looses control and can“t accept he might be wrong, after years of feeling like there was something wrong with me and that if I just tried hard enought he would love me I gave up, so to stop myself from getting hurt I just stopped caring about him, it wasn“t easy but it worked, I don“t care about him anymore and I don“t feel the need to, we are strangers, this past few months is like he suddenly noticed it wasn“t just me being a rebelloius teen and that I actually spoke to my mom and not to him he started to complain to my mom (53F), I know this because she told me that he“s hurt but I just don“t feel any type of connection to him after years of not speaking, she“s been pressuring me to speak to him but is like talking to a stranger and I just don“t want a relationship with him after ignoring me for thirteen years, my mom has been becoming more insistant and I“m starting to feel like I“m in the wrong, AITA?
