Dad Told Me to Take Cold Showers with the Soap He Gave Me — When My Boyfriend Walked into My Bathroom, He Started Crying

When Amelia’s father handed her a bar of soap and insisted she take cold showers with it, she had no idea there was a sinister motive behind it. Her world came crashing down when her boyfriend uncovered the terrifying truth about the soap.

I used to be “Daddy’s little girl,” but now I can barely say those words without feeling sick. He isn’t the man I once idolized, and I’m not his little girl anymore. Here’s what happened.

Growing up, I was incredibly close to my father. I’m 23 now, but up until a month ago, I was still living with my parents because Dad never wanted me to move out. I had the entire second floor of the house to myself—my bedroom and bathroom were my sanctuary. Or so I thought.

Dad had always been strict, but he balanced it with moments of kindness. He’d often say, “Character is built in discomfort. You’ve got to go through tough times now to live a luxurious life later.” Yet, he’d still bring me chocolates and ice cream when I was feeling down.

My mother, on the other hand, was your typical loving mom—always ready with hugs, kisses, and my favorite home-cooked meals. But recently, something changed. My parents grew distant, the warmth in our home seemed to vanish, and everything became cold.

It wasn’t long before Dad’s complaints began. “You’re too loud with your friends,” “You’re staying out too late,” “You’re wasting money.” But the worst came when he said, “You smell horrible. Go take a cold shower and use the soap I gave you.”

I was shocked. I had never been self-conscious about my hygiene before, but Dad’s words made me question everything. He handed me a strange green soap bar I had never seen before, claiming it would get rid of the unpleasant odor.
