Lately, however, my parents had grown distant and cold. My dad began criticizing everything I did, from staying out late to spending money. The final straw was when he handed me a strange green soap and told me I smelled bad. He insisted I use it and take cold showers. I followed his advice, taking multiple showers a day, but my skin became dry and irritated, and my father continued to complain. My mother, who had always been loving and supportive, remained silent during these humiliations. Her lack of support left me feeling even more isolated. The turning point came when my boyfriend, Henry, visited. Noticing my distress, he asked to use the bathroom and emerged holding the soap.
