Thanks for sharing, OP
I always felt that my own dad felt that way -- that anything I did would fall short. But I don't think he fell short of my own expectations, just his own.

If you truly found yourself in a place where you were "good enough".....he'd tell you that you must have set the metrics too low.

Been there, done that, got the ass-chewings.
