I don't know if I'll ever be as close to my dad as he wants us to be.
I finally told my dad today that he scared me. That I was terrified of the thought of him yelling at me if I did something wrong. That I can't talk to an adult figure without my throat closing up and me crying. I think he understood me. We had a long talk, he reassured me. He said that he got wiser with age and now that he was older, his anger was less. He promised that he wouldn't do anything that would hurt me or make me sad. He also said that he wanted to be as close to me as friends are (Not as close as a father-child, but more of a friendship with respect). He said that I can share my secrets and talk to him anytime I want and that he'd do the same. But I'm afraid that I can never tell him all the things I did, all the things I faced and even how I identify. Even if he promised all those things, I'm scared that if I have an act that he doesn't agree with, he'll get mad again and I don't know how I'd be able to face him anymore. I'm sorry dad, I know you want to be closer to me but I don't think I could tell those secrets to anyone alive.
