My dad singled me out for not picking up the phone to answer him

Comments
I can hear how you feel your dad singled you out for the responsibility of answering the phone. It sounds like this feels unfair to you, especially as you have siblings who could answer the phone.
You mention you felt worried that your dad would shout at you. How often and when do you feel like this? No one has the right to do or say anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
I can also hear intrusive thoughts make this feel even tougher for you. Do you currently have the support you need to manage these intrusive thoughts?
