"Here, have a piece."

"Okay, but just a little one. I'm not hungry."

He hands me a half of the pastry
I rip off a third of that
And eat it
Even though I don't want to
I just don't want to make him mad

I hand back the rest of it

"Finish it"
He pushes

"I can't, I'll feel sick"
I explain

"Please Liana
It's not that much"
He tries

"But it'll make me throw up"
I plead

"It won't. Eat it."
He says

I can feel the rubber band pulling
His anger stretching
I'm afraid he'll snap

I eat the rest of it
And feel sick the whole day

Didn't eat lunch or dinner
And never again
Will be willing to eat that pastry

Don't ask me
Why I don't want to go out to eat with you
You ruined it for yourself
My dad's favorite thing in the world is food, but I get stressed when I eat with him. He gets mad if I don't eat enough of it, eat too much of it, don't appreciate it enough, don't hate it if he hates it, and enjoys yelling at waiters, ect. When I get stressed I feel sick. When I feel sick I can't eat. He really likes to make me eat.
