That anon probably had good intentions, but it's just. It's not about the /money/, you've talked about how shitty your dad is before, and when you said he wasn't getting you a present my first thought wasn't "how ungrateful", it was "this is just another way her father is deliberately trying to make her feel bad." I mean, come on! And then to send you an ask that implies maybe ur not being considerate of HIM? Ugh. Sorry, I'm in a similar situation so that ask really hit a nerve.

yes exactly!! i remember when my mom asked if he got me a gift for my sweet 16 and i couldnt answer because he didnt. he got me a steven universe shirt for my 17th that i already had for a year at that point. he didn’t contribute anything to my sweet 16 either--just guilted me into inviting him last minute. then he has the nerve to say, and i quote, “dont forget how much i do for you that your mother doesnt. i would drop everything im doing for you” yeah k buddy how about at LEAST be in the same town as me on my 18th birthday but nah he just HAS to take this overtime (which pays more btw. $60/hr from 7am to 3pm. just found that out literally 20 minutes ago). good news is that i wont have to see his face most of the day cause i’ll be at the mall getting myself birthday gifts with some spending money my grandma sent me as a gift since she won’t see me saturday lol anyways

thank you, i hope your situation works out in the end for the better as well, if you ever want to drop by and talk then youre more than welcome to. ilu.
