Do you really think my issues with my dad are just about that single thing? Your comment is kind of unfair, dude. I’m not here to gripe or whine, this post just genuinely struck a nerve for me about how I’m struggling with breaking away from my dad after decades of abuse, while still remaining cool with the rest of my family who aren’t ready to do that. My dad isn’t cancelled, if I end my relationship with him I’ll still have to deal with guilt for the rest of my life. He’ll be sad I refuse to talk to him anymore, and I feel guilty even though I know that deep down, he is just a bad person and I don’t like him but I feel bad hurting anybody that deeply.
