Can someone check the meaning of this sentence, please? Does it actually make sense? What does that "come home to me" mean?

No significaria "mandarme a casa"?

This one is mistranslated in a lot of the linked sentences. "Come home to me" is a figure of speech, not terribly different from something "hitting home" or making an impact. The sentence means the speaker finally understood their father's reproof.

It was then that my fathers reproof had come home to me.
