The book is right. There are no victims.
You create all your experiences, either consciously or unconsciously.
The outside world is a mirror of yourself.
What you see out there is denied inside.

Your father is reflecting back to you the part of you that is very critical of yourself. You may not even be aware of the self-criticism in your thoughts.
Are you wrong a lot? (throwing the pickle and tomato off the burger is probably wrong)

Is it a problem? No. Receive that you're playing with being wrong. "Oh, look, my dad is criticizing me again, there must be something in this moment I need to pay attention to about myself. I guess I'm choosing to make myself wrong right now and I'm not aware of it."

And then feel what's going on inside you emotionally. See what you find.
