Giving and recieving gifts

Kenny_1622

I have a problem giving and recieving gifts, it just doesnt feel like a normal thing to do. I feel like i have to act or be a certain way or im obligated to do something. Its difficult to process it, anyone else have similiar issue 

Parents

  • When I was little I would love getting gifts and I still love getting them now! But I feel awful now because i literally can’t afford to buy anything nice in return, plus I’m worried what I’d get won’t be good enough. My mum seems to be very understanding about this but my dad doesn’t and calls me cheap, lazy scrounger. I mean he never buys me anything, it’s my mum who buys my presents and according to my dad that makes me a spoilt brat so why should I buy for him? Sorry for my rant

    Wow, he's really toxic isn't he.

    Ugh tell me about it! I try and avoid contact with him the best I can now. I’m now getting to the point that the thought of seeing him and knowing I’m related to him freaks me out.

    Thank you! Say he can be very controlling and then guilt trips me and does things to annoy me until I give in to his demands. Like it’s his way or no way. I’m so sorry your dad was also unpleasant with you as well. My dad can’t accept he’s been a bad parent and won’t accept the truth. I even suggested if he had autism and he lost it with me and said I shouldn’t just assume but I was only asking a question. I mean not all autistic people are nice and it’s worse when they use that or any mental illness as their excuse to bullying others
