I have never been so hurt and disappointed in my Dad. I am such a Daddy's girl I just don't know how to deal with it.
I was talking on the phone with him last Sunday and he made a reference to my "Tramp Stamp" which just shocked me. I have 3 tattoos and the one to which he was making a reference I have had for a little over 10yrs. It is a lizard that is right on the small of my back. I immediately told him that I found the term "Tramp Stamp" very offensive and did not appreciate being indirectly called a tramp. I told him that not all of the phrases he picks up from the TV are appropriate and this counts as one of the more inappropriate ones. He told me that it was merely meant in jest and that I was being rather unhumorous and thin-skinned. I ended the phone call as quickly as possible.
Normally, Dad is a very funny, sweet, and caring guy. He has multiple college degrees and should really know better. I have spent all week being hurt and angry and disappointed. I just don't know what to do...
