My dad wasn’t a good man, spent some time in jail as a result of how he treated me.
That was almost 30 years ago
I’ve done a decade of counseling and have been in a place of forgiveness for years. I came to the decision to reach out to him in a letter, to state he was a good father for the first ten years as far as I remember and he’s getting old , I wanted to offer myself, his only relative , to be on his next of kin at the hospital in case he got sick. That I would take care of him.
He came to my work today, by accident and as he was getting in his car I called out to him and told him instead of writing him.
He told me he had it all covered, it’s all taken care of and went in his car.
Ouch
