Do I have a right to be angry at my dad?

just recently I found out I was named after one of my dads old girlfriends (before my mum) and I’m really pissed of that my dad would even think of doing that to the verge of hating him even more (personal reasons why I don’t really like him) Is it wrong for me to be pissed off for this reason or would you be pissed off too if you we’re in my shoes?? O.o

Answer #1

We all have the right to our feelings. Getting upset with our parents is something everyone goes through.

Remember though, your Dad loves you and you love him. He is the only Dad you will ever have. Try to understand from his point of view, it’s all down to love and compromise in the end.

I hope you resolve your issues with him soon. Life is too short to be at loggerheads with anyone.

he did it to get back at my mum because she didnt want my dad calling my brother bruce (aka bruce lee) so instead he called him Brandon. but I dont think its fair that he did that and its not just this that im pissed off at him about. I dont really want to talk over FA to why i dont really like him cause its my personal life. but I just wanted to get opinions on this though cause its not as bad

Answer #3

Wow! Yea! I’d be very pissed off, that my name wasn’t something meaningful to both my parents, it was for revenge, something that didn’t matter to him. & for him to be that immature to do that….!!!!!!!!!

Answer #4

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that would be cause as stupid as it may sound I still would have liked to get a name due to my parents both liking it and not over something like that. :/

Of course you have the right to be pissed off! I certainly would be. The fact that you were able to find out as well, is insensitive. However, I’m not sure what your Dad is like, but I’m assuming he regrets what he did and accepts that he made a mistake. A huge mistake. But I’d suggest: don’t be angry for long. Hopefully by your reaction you’ve let him know how great an effect what he did had on you. But you might as well cheer up, the longer you stay angry won’t add to his guilt. You can be the mature one and keep the family together. It’s not nice to be in an unhappy atmosphere =( Just chill out and watch some spoofs of your favourite shows. I know it’s going to be hard as your name is a huge part of your life, but try to forget about it as best you can. He’s the one who should feel bad, not you. =)

Answer #11

well he could have at least said sorry and he doesn’t know how it effects me, I have personal issues with him so me and him barely talk at all. and I don’t think he cares much about it really as bad as this may sound I can’t remember the last time I talked to him. Like and daughter and Father should. his always yelling so most of the time I stay in my room or go out as much as possible To get my mind off things. I rather at at school then home. and there really nothing I can do
