Yeah, I can agree with this. Mine died about 2 years ago. He didn’t even call to let his own children know he was sick. I had not talked to him for over 25 years and he chose not to reach out when I almost died in a car crash 13 years ago. I finally feel like I can visit my home state without the anxiety of running into him and the woman he cheated with and abandoned his family for.
I am happy for all the folks who have good dads though. Please give those good guys an extra hug from us ladies who had shitty dads.
The world became a slightly better place when my dad died.
Ooof what an epitaph
I never realised how ‘normal’ my family were until I met my bf and his horrendous mother and brothers
It takes a lot of pain for a person to finally go no contact, or be relieved when a family member finally dies
There are far too many shitty parents and siblings out there
I hope you’re still having a good day today, because he’s not here
Thank you, I am. I have two wonderful (now adult) children and can at least give my dad credit for teaching me what kind of father not to be.
Some people cause joy wherever they go; others, whenever they go.
I hear you mate. Ability to reproduce doesn’t make someone a good parent and the world is better off without some people. I’m sorry he was like that
thank you
