Why I'm not going to Civil War


Greetings everyone, I have unfortunate news for I'm not going to 2GGC Civil War. Everything was decided as of yesterday (which was my 16th birthday) for going to the event next month with my father. We were both excited to go to such an amazing tournament/crew battle, but things changed between me and my dad just this morning. To put it bluntly, he believes that what I love to do is useless and that the community is comprised of nothing but lowlife degenerates. He called me a worthless loser over and over again just because I wanted to go to a tournament. I don't know what caused him to turn so sourly, but he said things that will unfortunately stick with me for quite a while.

Now I must be an idiot for typing all of this and explaining in specific detail as of what happened, but I don't know who else to talk to. I might be going offline for a few days to recollect myself, but I'm hoping it doesn't have to come to that. I feel like crap; utterly repulsive even, due to what my father said to me.

I love the Smash 4 community, I love the friends I've made in the community and my love for Smash 4; even video games as a whole will never die out. However, as I'm typing this I feel incredibly sad and I'm not sure what to do next. I respect my father to a level in which words like these truly hurt me inside and out. Hopefully I can simply move on and forget about what my dad thinks of me and my passions.

Thank you all for reading and I'm sorry I posted this.
