Crying.

Your dad had an opportunity to build a bridge when he found out you lied. He could have asked you why you felt like you needed to lie about it, or if everything was ok.

Instead he decided to dig the moat deeper by making you feel like crap for coming clean, which your brain is just going to take as negative reinforcement for being honest with him.

Kids lie to their parents. Fact of life. Parents lie to their kids. Also a fact of life. It sounds like youโ€™re dad needs to man up, no offense. Iโ€™m kind of in an upset frame of mind myself.

As always i write this without reading all the replies. It sounds like you partched things
With your dad, which is good
