My dad.
I apologize if this seems a bit scattered and incoherent, I'll try my best to make it not.
Just as a bit of background context, my dad has a family and financial situations some would kill for. He has a very good job and position. He has multiple kids and a wife. He's abused us basically since the start of marrying my mom. This includes physical abuse, demeaning, insulting, etc... basically everything you can think of, except permanent physical damage and substance abuse.
There isn't one specific big MC story, so instead there's only a small interaction with a lot of context behind. I hope y'all don't mind <3
The one that I always remember first is about me participating in a school competition outside of the school.
Some more context, and my brother are both 'gifted' in English. We grew up on English by watching only English videos and talking to each other in almsot purely English growing up, so we were basically natively English compared to our peers. Because of this, the schools we were in always picked us for any sort of English related competition, spelling bees for example. Some of these competitions happened to be outside of the school. We also happen to be slightly competent with tech and not tech illiterate, so we had moderate tech skills while most people had none.
Late 2025, there was a nation wide cybsec competition involving all of the highschools in the nation. One of the guys in my class refused the offer, so it got passed to me. I had to get a paper signed for the school to take me to a college to listen to a lecture about cybsec to eventually go to a competition.
This is where the MC comes in. My dad has been like this our entire lives and we've missed out on all but 1 or 2 out of school competitions because of this. I asked him to sign the paper, which he eventually did, but until then, he was heavily debating it and on the verge of refusing outright. Every time this happened until now, he straight up refused outright with minimal explanation. The last few times, including this time, he offered an explanation.
The explanation was, I'm not even kidding, 0 exaggeration or hyperbole, he was battling corruption in his workplace, which made the corrupt people have it out for him. So he was afraid of them harming or straight up killing me, while I was on the bus to go there. He works as a mechanical engineer in the Ministry of Interior.
