I pray that you and your father make it through this. He has a wonderful daughter, and I am sure he knows how much you love him.
As for the purse punishment...what could you have done to punish yourself so? That is cruel and unusual punishment. Don't say you won't buy and shoes either. That will be the death of you. My teen D used to tell me I didn't need anymore purses or shoes. I would say "one day you will realize you can never have too many purses or shoes." Now that she is a teen she has realized that. I guess I created a monster.
