<p>Congrats on getting into JMU. It’s nothing to be ashamed at. You should be proud.</p>
<p>Your father’s behavior is indeed abusive. It’s his problem, not yours. </p>
<p>Get on with your life and do your best. </p>
<p>Live for yourself and most importantly, REMEMBER THIS DAY so that you never do this to your own kids. </p>
<p>This “tradition” of abusing your kids until they are perfect can end in your lineage with you. You can be especially proud of that.</p>
