I am SO sorry............. for many years, I got the same reaction from my Dad for everything I ever did. I KNOW how it hurts, when you try so hard to do something you think they will like.
One year, I had made my Dad a lovely soft tailored woolen flannel shirt, and had even hand monogrammed it for him.
When he opened my present, and asked " What the %@)) am I supposed to do with THIS?" Instead of being hurt, that one time, I finally told him..........."You're supposed to wear it, and if you make ONE more ugly hurtful comment to me, I WILL tell you WHERE you can wear it!".
That ended it, and he has been decent to me ever since. For the first 45 years of my life, I can't recall ONE thing I ever did that suited him, though.
Here's ((((HUGS))))((((HUGS))))((((HUGS)))) for you, and just don't feel so alone.
You did a beautiful job on this, and you put your heart into it for him.
