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.

@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*

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