"It was just a joke" "I wasn't laughing"

I don't know how many people run into this issue, but my father has a huge issue with 'joking' around, of course when its towards me I have an issue of taking it personal, so it usually ends up with me running up to my room crying. I know he doesn't mean to do it, and its way to "connect" with me and all, but there is only so much I can handle. Yesterday, for example, mom was leaving for work. Her email said that there was incoming emails and I checked, one of them were from someone at work. I knew she was in the garage getting ready to go, I looked at dad and asked him where mom was, and if she left again, he didn't say anything, so I started to run into the garage to catch her before she left, only to learn that she was getting her coffee. I told mom and started to go back into the dinning room, only to see dad laughing hysterically, because having his daughter freak out with a work email for her mom who was leaving right then, who was going on an hour and half drive to work, who would have no way to read this email, was just so funny. Needless to say I quickly turned around and ran up to my bedroom. I never get a "sorry" from dad when he 'jokes' around, when he doesn't realize that these 'jokes' aren't funny. Well once in a great while I do, only because I go to mom and she makes him.

Am I the only one who has this issue, because I have to say it gets really hard on Fridays and Saturdays (when mom's at work) are getting really hard on me, because not only dad does it, but then J my other brother, will join in and I can't tell him to stop, because then dad defends him. Not fun!

With Lots of Love,
Dear Daughter (aka C)
