Why

[ausy94]

Today I went over to my dads to visit. I'm a senior in high school. So my dream is to go to college for nuclear engineering. I said hey dad what do you think about nuclear enginnerin for a career. He said well its alright but you won't ever make it. This from the guy who never asked to even see what my grade are like. I just smiled got up and now I'm about half way home to my moms pulled over crying. Why can't even he support me once!? Every time i say or do something he tells me how i suck at said thing. He keeps calling me but I'm not answering any more.

I'm sorry to hear that your dad treats you like that. Is it even worth trying to talk to him? There is no excuse why he can't support you, have you talked to your mom at how he acts?

[Lost in the Echo]

Wow man, i'm sorry that happened to you. If you believe you can make it in nuclear engineering then that's all that matters. Just use what he said for extra motivation, whenever somebody doubts you just turn that into motivation. Then when you accomplish your goal as a nuclear engineer then it will make all of those who doubted you look like an ass. If you believe in yourself then that's all that matters, fuck what anybody else has to say.

Move on. Don't let those who put you down succeed. You can do it.

I know it is hard to hear someone who you value the opinion of put you down, but, as you said he hadn't even seen your grades, so he doesn't know and it's not true... but I'm sensing that's not exactly your main issue? Are you more concerned about the fact that he doesn't support you in anything, not specifically what he said? And either way, you need to believe in yourself and stay strong, if only to prove him wrong, You owe it to yourself

[Zarakly]

Yeah, don't listen to him. If you try hard enough and have the grades, you'll become an engineer :) good luck and try talking to your mom or someone about that..

He sounds like a negative person. Unfortunately some people don't believe in others because they weren't able to believe in themselves. Lean on the other supporters i'm sure you have! Nothing is impossible!

He sucks! If you seriously wanna become that, do well in school and just try at it and if you do... You can become anything really. My dad doesnt really support me either, nor does my family. -_-

sounds like something my father would do. I told him i wanted to be a comedian he told me i can't because im not jewish. i laughed it off and even now its funny but i think it hurts me deep down. Hes an asshole so forget him lol. (that goes to both our dads)
