Try and clarify why you feel the need to do this. I was abused my entire life by my father. I am in my 30s now, live away from him, am fully no contact, but I feel the impact of the abuse every day. It’s like a weight I can never fully throw off.

I’d like nothing more than to confront him and yell at him. But I know that I have so much rage built up that I will likely end up trying to beat the shit out of him. And who will get arrested? Me.

I avoid confronting him because I know he will never acknowledge what he has done. And if he does? So what? It won’t erase the past. It won’t cure my depression. I realized that there is no true justice in situations like this.

I won’t tell you what you should or shouldn’t do. But consider what your goal is and if confronting him will truly achieve that goal.
