Does anyone feel sad when it's his/her birthday?

I always felt sad when it was my birthday. I just wanted to hide from my father. He always criticised me. When I was a teenager he said: You are 14 years old and you don't know to do anything. And when I was 15 years old the same thing happened. As a result I remained stuck. I couldn't do anything because he was never happy and all I did was wrong for him. If I learned a lot why do I learn? If I stay inside my house why don't I go out?

Have you tried talking to him about how you feel when he always would have something to say about you as if there' s no correct things you have done anymore?
Birthdays are supposedly a happy occasion. It is something to celebrate and be thankful of.
What about your mother, is she like your father too or supportive of you?

You have to be patient with your dad, I have the same problem here, and my father is 60 years old.

How old are you now? Your father's parenting skill may be lacking, and he has cause much of your childhood misfortune but eventually you will have to take responsibility for how you want your life to continue. Can't blame him forever. If you do then you "stuck" yourself through your own choice.

Your dad meant something when he said that. Don't get sad instead serve that as a challenge on your part. You know dad, they are not showy with their feelings.

You have to understand within and not only what is coming out of his mouth.

@ilocosboy And do you understand him within? For me he is a bad person. I think he is very mean.
