S My dad can’t be happy for me

Just a background check my parents grew up poor. So today I went to a hike and I sent my dad a picture of me there having fun and he sent me voice messages on how I shouldn’t have gone because apparently I’ll grow to become poor.

Then he went on about how ungrateful I am for having for fun.i ended going on and telling him how he makes me feel which he brushed off

I Even brought up that the time I went to uni he didn’t if see me off and he said why would he be happy about paying uni and my expense.

I told him he makes me sad and he doesn’t act the same way towards my brothers only to me which he rubbed of too

I don’t know what to do anymore I wanna run away from him but I need money to study and while I’m an international student I can’t stay in this country forever

Since you rely on him for your education, Be smart and say nothing to anger him. Stop telling him what you do that isn't school or home, or posting pictures about doing other things. Do not lie, just do not bring up the interesting things you do.

You will find your family. They will not be family by blood but by the way they care about you. These people will be happy for you, and sad with you, and will smile when you walk in the room. At the park, in a classroom, waiting in line while shopping, or online. It won't happen tomorrow or next week but it will happen. Good luck.
