For background, I’m 28 now. My parents got married the year I was born and are still together, meaning their wedding anniversary falls the same year of my birthday. 

I was on a video the call the other night with my parents. We spoke briefly about my sisters upcoming birthday. My dad then said, almost flippantly, the he didn’t know how old I was. 

I was a little taken aback. I mean, it’s not hard to work out - they got married the same year. But there was such a lack of even pretending to care there. He did mentioned he knew when his sport team won a certain trophy though. 

I didn’t realise I felt hurt by this until today in therapy. My therapist pointed out that actually what he said was hurtful. I thought it was sort of normal and didn’t really question it.

I just wondered what you guys think?
