Actually not sure your comment was passive aggressive but it does assume maybe wrongly that your father actually saw you online & actually saw your messages. A lot of times our computers show us online when we aren't even sitting at the computer & wouldn't possibly even hear that we have received a message.....we come back to the computer & log off without even looking......so you were assuming that your father was sitting there at his computer at the time you sent the messages.

He might have felt that this message you are asking us about was trying to make him feel guilty for something he didn't even know was going on. That's NOT actually passive aggressive but you do need to be careful about assumptions & think of all the possibilities rather than narrow thinking that gives you only one option of what you think is actually happening.....that has more to do with lack of awareness.

I'm sure your Dad would have responded if he had actually seen your message. That's the difficulty with online communication....we REALLY don't know what the other person is doing at the time we are messaging them.
