Another Asshole Moment

Ok, last night I finished the story I've been writing, For My Melanie
I'm extremely happy because this is one of the most important stories to me <3
But also sad because its over now.
Anyway, I had just printed the whole thing out for Laura to read (her computer sucks so she can't read it on deviantart). It was 28 pages, a very large pile of paper, lol. Anyway, my dad was like "What are you printing out?!" and I told him it was a story. And he said "You wrote all that?" and of course I said yes,
and then, he said
"Too bad its not for school."
I could hardly even believe it.
For everyone wondering why I don't like my dad, now you know why.
It wasn't "Oh, congratulations on writing a story"
No, it was that it would only be GOOD, if I had done it for school. So my story means nothing, right dad?
Also, he didn't ask to read it.
He asked "How does it end?"
This is the reason I never tell him about my art or my writing.
Because I know he doesn't care about it at all.
And all he's gonna do is shoot it down.
I'm extremely pissed off about it...but, more sad. Because I guess I just expected him to ONCE, not be an asshole. But no, that didn't happen.
He wouldn't want to read it anyway.
He'd read it and he'd say something like "Why do gay people always write stories about other gay people?"
This story means so much to me, and now I'm almost ashamed of it, just thinking about what he said and what he would say if he read it.
I have to stay strong.
