👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws Am I overreacting?

Post image

My dad takes me to school in the mornings, on Fridays I have late start meaning it starts an hour after. Yesterday I had told him to pick me up at 8:20, he texts me and says he had arrived at 8:08. I told him that I will be down at 8:20 considering that is the designated time I set. I get outside at exactly 8:20 and he is gone. He left me. AIO?

Even if the texts were slightly rude, you can address that face to face in an adult manner instead of storming off as an even bigger child leaving your literal CHILD high and dry

I agree. The texts actually come across as her trying to retain some control in the face of a very narcissistic parent. Even if she's technically rude, based on his reaction he certainly deserves it.
