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.

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.
