Hi! I f15, I'm currently injured due to volleyball and i have a bruised bone and strained muscle and a tore muscle in my foot and ankle. My dad M49 however, sees this as an excuse for me to 'not do anything' around the house even though I'm in a cast and it's hard for me to move around in crutches around two young kids. My parents are divorced due to my dad, neglecting me and my sisters along with my F 43 mother.

I currently have five yorkies that I personally take care of whom are my mothers pets. I recently haven't caught up on giving them baths and changing their areas, since it is very hard for me to do so and I don't get any help while doing it.

I've told my dad that I can't do it since my foot hurts like really bad and it is currently turning light purple. My dad however does not care and he still wants me to do it and he keeps saying I'm using that as and excuse.

I want to tell him, yes I have an excuse cause I physically cannot move around as I did in the past. But, he does not have an excuse for neglecting me and my sisters and mother cause he was 'going through' things which is untrue he hasn't gone through anything. My mom has lost her last parent her father, she doesn't see her siblings since my two uncles are autistic and my aunt lives in another state and my mother has no contact with other family since they are dead.

Even if he was going through things, my father has people to talk to he just chooses not too, he has two parents who are alive and well. He has his female best friend and he has me to talk to and my mother, but he doesn't.

And yes, I'm very mad at what my father has done cause there is no excuse to neglect your family.

So I came on here to ask, would I be the AH if I told my father I have an excuse and he didn't have one to be neglectful towards his family?

Ps: I've been taking care of the dogs alone for at least five years and over those years we've had more dogs but they passed away and they were sold.

Edit: I've had 19 dogs in total!
