AITJ for donating $25,000 to my foundation in my father's name as a birthday gift, knowing it would infuriate him?

¿Soy la mala por donarle veinticinco mil dólares a mi fundación a nombre de mi padre como regalo de cumpleaños, sabiendo que le iba a enfurecer?

OP has spent years enduring her father's quiet contempt for her career in environmental conservation—so for his 60th birthday, she handed him a donation certificate to her own foundation, made in his name, in front of the entire family. Now nobody's speaking to her.

Bueno, necesito algo de perspectiva externa porque mi familia lleva una semana sin dirigirme la palabra, y honestamente ya no sé si llegué demasiado lejos o si simplemente hice lo que alguien debía hacer hace mucho tiempo. Tengo 29 años. Vivo en San Juan y trabajo como coordinadora de proyectos en una fundación que protege ecosistemas costeros en Puerto Rico: manglares, arrecifes, playas.
