Estrangement

[amama_in_ga]

I am now officially estranged from my father. Remember when I said I'd give him another chance? Well that opportunity came sooner than I expected.

I was out to dinner with Sally this past Friday when lo and behold, in walks my dad and my step-mom. They walked right by my table and never saw me. Sally had excused herself from our table to go to

{{{{hugs}}}} I'm sorry. I know a little bit of the feelings that you had. Of course my parents are gone, and I did not have my dad past age 8, and my mom and I had our share of problems. But I know what kind of reception that you wanted, and didn't get. I have a full first cousin that lives 5 minutes from me, and he doesn't come see me, he email's me funny shit all the time. Never asks to see me. Our dad's were very close brothers, for God's sake. You'd think, us living so close, he'd want to see me

Thanks for your input Lisa. Just so you know, I have cousins and other relatives that did the very same thing. It's disappointing to say the least.

The good thing that came out of all of this is that I gained a new appreciation for my family and friends. I had to take a hard look at what was good instead of focusing on the negative. I found that I have so many other people in my life that are supportive and caring and that's what really matters.

I've already given you hugs via phone and I know we've talked about this...but I just wanted to tell you one more time that I love you and that you have made the right decision - nobody needs that in their life and especially someone as wonderful as you!!!

Yes, you have to do what is right for you. It sounds like he's insecure about his own life. You gave it a go. You did what you could. You decided to leave. It sounds like he did nothing.
