Being a father is not an easy task, especially when he’s taking care of a daughter. Sometimes, the interests of a father can conflict with those of his daughter. But in the end, fathers are known to be tough and protective.
Such is the case for the father in this viral Reddit post. The OP is a father of a 16-year-old girl who was about to attend a music festival. The problem is that he discovered some suspicious texts from his daughter’s inbox. So he did not let her go, using those messages as the basis. OP now asks the internet if he was in the wrong. Check his full story below so you can decide!
