Re: What are your thoughts today here on Father's Day?

(Anonymous) 2022-06-20 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Now that my mother isn’t around to criticise my gifts, I love holidays when I can give my dad stuff. We talked today and are getting together in a couple days and I can’t wait to give him his gift, he’s going to love it. He will also be surprised because he thinks the smart lock we gave him recently is his Father’s Day gift and I love catching him off guard in a good way like that.
My mother was awful. And I thought once she died that things between me and my dad would be great. But he shares a lot more of her viewpoints than I knew. They’re both bad parents. But after she’d been gone a year, around the time I accepted I am a disappointment no matter what so made some major life changes to make me happier, dad started to change a tiny bit. It isn’t all perfect by any means but he at least seems aware sometimes that I am an adult, I have nerves of steel, I make sound judgments, and I am going to live life on my own terms. I was always gaslighted and guilted but then for a long time and I’d fade out of their lives and then come back for more of the same. Now that I’ve given up on him it’s just helped. He’s a touch more like the kind of parent I wish both of them had been.
