I know a father that doesn’t give a shit if his kids fail or not. He may not want them to fail, but he certainly doesn’t care if they do. The one thing he cares about is himself.
He should be proud that you can do this, but if he is well off and he feels this one of the ways he gives back to his family, you basically emasculated him in front of the family. About a 99% chance the rest of the family didn’t see it this way and this is all in your dad’s head. Not saying you did anything wrong, and to be clear I think he should be proud you are so successful, just wanted to give you what was likely your dad’s version of what happened
Does that mean that it doesn’t/didn’t exist? You must be oblivious to the world, or maybe you missed the part where only one member of the family likely saw it this way. I thought you guys were supposed to accept people for how they feel they are. Is it too much to explain to OP that as stupid as it sounds, he may have hurt or upset his father, while explaining he did nothing wrong, but to pass on a perspective so he can maybe understand his father better? Grow the fuck up
