dads are terrible and family is complicated
About a month ago my dad cut all contact with me. I went through a phase of being upset and sad, then resigned, then I had a really hard few weeks because I couldn’t stop remembering all of the reasons that he was a terrible person.
Today I’m feeling melancholy because I listened to a song that reminded me of him in a roundabout way and now I’m thinking about all of the positive memories I do actually have.

@mawr Thank you for the hugs :-) most of my family is really wonderful, he’s just a bad guy

@smallesttiger I'm really sorry to hear you had to go through that with him. I've had my own really rough dealing with family. If you want to talk about it, I'm here to listen, but you've got my sympathies and understanding regardless. *offers hugs*

@literorrery I appreciate that buni :-) I think it would help me to talk about it sometime

@smallesttiger I'm here, or on Telegram. I've still got the Slack account, and there's always email. Whatever's convenient. =n.n=

@smallesttiger I’m sorry. That sounds really hard to deal with.

@Leucrotta thank you, but sometimes just talking about it a little is enough to make me feel better :)

This is probably also because @Fuego is away right now and since I am pretty much incapable of letting myself be sad when any other person is nearby, I tend to store it up so I can be mournful the whole time she’s gone.
