Sorry to hear that brother. Me and my father haven’t really been talking for a few years now...I know the feeling
I can’t say I relate because my Dad hasn’t passed. But he suffered an awful childhood that led to all kind of stress and he was diagnosed with skin cancer. They found it late. it f***ing sucks because he persevered through horrible abuse
RIP to your pops fam
my dad had pancreatic cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, he survived the cancer too. f*** cancer.
OP you’re speaking facts. My dad was not always involved in my life and I harbored resentment towards him for a long time. His memory started slipping due to PTSD and what I believe to be dementia and I’ve made a rigorous effort to be a part of his life again. I think as we get older we start to let the anger go and learn that even our own parents aren’t perfect. May your old man Rest In Peace fam
that’s the hard part, what was the right way to go about the situation? My grandma told me “Family is family, every family got problems.” Either don’t give up on the person, or create space from the toxicity until time heals the wounds and growth happens. I thought I had more time for the both of us to grow.
