I got my lip pierced. Now my dad won't even look at me, or hardly talk to me. It pisses me off so bad. My dad really isn't one of those asshole fathers, and none of my other piercings elicited that kind of reaction, but now is he not only acting like a complete asshole to me, but he told my mom that he wants to stop paying for my education. It's not like I can't pay for it by myself between student loans and what I have saved, but shit, that's such a drastic thing to do over a small piece of metal in my lip. And this is what really pisses me off-my dad was an outcast in high school/college. Granted, he expressed it in different ways (he was a practicing anarchist), but of all the people in my family, he should be the most understanding of my self-expression. I just feel really dejected, rejected, and unaccepted. It's not fair, I've never done anything to let down my father, I've always met and exceeded his expectations- I don't get why he's going to forsake me over something so insignificant....
