Maybe their English isn’t the best but it read to me as op was “fucking with” or flirty themselves with their father’s coworkers to make their father be uncomfortable to show a double standard, that what the dad was doing was the same as one of his same aged coworkers attempting a relationship with his daughter of the current age of his young girlfriend. Granted if they actually did sleep with the coworkers that just makes the situation worse and toxic, completely making op a hypocrite if that’s the case. I don’t even mind age gaps. But the context can definitely play a role and in Joel and chase’s case it does, because Joel is a bad father and Chase is just manipulative.
Yup i can sleep around but my father don't. You don't know how it feel growing up with absent parent. He cheat on my mom with his student thats why my mom decided not to let him know about me. I only come to live with him after my mother dead,, and im not proud with how my mother sell herself to provide for my wellbeing but at least she's there. I fuck around a lot already before or after i live with my father. He comment on my lifestyle but never did anything to stop it because he doesn't have a clue on how to raise a kid. I was 14 when i come to live with him and he's in a steady relationship with his coworker. They planned to get married then i come. I don't know the timing, i got caught by the authorities. His supposed to be wife is fine with my existance and they're going to get married but my father suddenly said he want to spent more time with me so they broke up. Then he got into two other relationship. When he asked about them,I approved it. Its different case when its my friend. You don't know how jealous i am when they flirt in front of me when my father doesn't even know how to talk nicely with me. When he bought her so many thing, bring her to places, then gradually spent more and more time together while im being left behind. So what if im already an adult. He's never with me,, so now is the time for him to repay it. Not spoiling another girl who the same age as his own daughter while the one he supposedly love is me. I know im fucked up when i sleep with his best friend,, but he don't understand that what i want is attention. When my mom is still with me,,she still spent time with me even when she sleep with many guy. She simply make time. But when im living with my father he doesn't even try to get to know me. He doesn't ask about my birthday, he's absent when i got my report card. He's a terrible father and when i have to witness him being a loving lover.,its just not fair. I told him anyone fine as long as its not my own friend. Why cant he comply with the only thing i want when i never ask him for anything. When i sleep with his best friend, he was busy spending time celebrating his lover birthday. Second time is when they're on vacation. I sent a snapchat of me and his junior to my friend. And guess what he come back the very next day and broke up with his lover. If it take two fucked up for him to finally realize what dmage he's cause then what. He's my father before he's anybody else. I tried so hard for him to regard me as his daughter. He doesn't allow me to called him father. So i get myself some daddy then he finally allowed it. He won't think about me. I have to fucked up first for him to realize what he should do.
I know how jesse feel because i have experience dealing with the same thing. My father doesn't know my existance until im 14.at 17, i bring back my friends for study group,one of them flirt with my father. After few months they ask for my blessing. Hell ofc not i wont agree. My father is a mathematic and malay tracher, i fuck with his co workers. One his best friend for more than 10 years, another his junior who at that time was my practical sir. They're both single btw. I got my point across. They broke up, i change my friend circle and befriend boys instead. Its still a great trauma though. I cant invite them to my house without fearing that they wold make a move on my fathe (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸 (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸
