#Love the Oscar Wilde quote!!
and sorry to hear your dad enjoyed the same sport - put-downs and ridiculejust for amusement. I'm with you here: "But even knowing that, I could never stop myself taking it to heart." Because someone like Oscar Wilde also said "The truth is often spoken in jest," and we internalize the smallest shred of truth in whatever being ridiculed for. Hugs to you and here's hoping we stop taking to heart whatever criticism is dished out at us, however "in fun" it's supposed to be!
