We were so tired by this point in his route that we decided to skip Madarame’s h scene and here was the result, two minutes of madness. I may go back to read the dialogue but this man was pissed me off I couldn’t take it anymore 😭

Hi darling,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through a hard time! I definitely understand that this is bringing you down and that you find it hard to deal with his negativity. When you’re already struggling, negativity is the last thing you need or want and that’s completely understandable!

I’d definitely agree that you’re more progressive than him! I think this is something a lot of people from the younger generation experience, so you’re definitely not alone in these struggles <3 I think there are a couple things that could help to deal with his negativity. Most important, in my opinion, is that you have a safe space where you can vent about all of this; his negativity, how that’s affecting you, any thoughts or feelings you’re having, etc. Can you think of a place like this? It could be a journal, a blog, a friend you can call or text, a group on social media, anything!

You might also think about the way you respond to your dad about all of this. Before I get more into this, I want you to know that there’s no right or wrong way to respond! The only thing that matters when deciding how to respond, is what you think will be best for you. One way to respond would be to try and educate him on some topics, in the hope that he will eventually pick up some of it and you won’t have to deal with his negativity as much anymore. Important is that you only do this if it’s safe for you! Having said that, even if it is safe for you I can imagine it’s very frustrating as it might not have any effect on your dad. That’s why I’d also completely understand if you wouldn’t go for this option.

Another approach could be to try and avoid conversations like this as much as possible, and try to get out of the room as quickly as possible when a conversation on the topic does occur. A slight alteration to this approach would be to stay in the room, but instead put in headphones, or focus on something else entirely for example. Something that tunes out the conversation as much as humanly possible, so that it hopefully won’t affect you as much.

Since there will be times where you might not be able to use any of these approaches, it can also be good to remind yourself of some things. Your dad’s opinion doesn’t necessarily reflect the truth. Just because he thinks something doesn’t mean it’s true. Even though your dad will have these opinions, there are a lot of people who disagree with him. The younger generation generally is so much more progressive and this is already starting to have an impact, but will continue to do more and more!

You mention moving home due to having a hard time. Are you receiving any help for that lovely? This isn’t something you have to deal with all by yourself! I think you could benefit a lot from seeing a therapist, counsellor, or other mental health professional. Not only can they help you with the struggles that caused you to move back home, you can also speak to them about your dad’s negativity and how it influences you. You can visit your GP / local doctor and explain to them briefly what’s been going on. They’ll be able to refer you. You can read more about getting help here. I hope this helped at least a little bit!

Sometimes what seems impossible, is just hard.
