So, for those of you who read my rant yesterday. My father decided to resort to verbal insults through Facebook Messenger this morning. How sad is that?
I’m not going to repeat his messages, but I’m fine. Honestly, he’s so ridiculous I actually laughed out loud when I got them. I was in the middle of texting my guitar teacher when the messages started coming through. Anyway, like I said, I’m fine. He’s been blocked now and I’m really hoping that he’s not going to continue to find ways to try to get to me. If he does, I’ll deal with them as they come. I know he’d never physically hurt me, so I’m not afraid of him. He also lives in Oklahoma and I’m in Connecticut. He has my address but no current email or phone info. Not that he couldn’t get some of that if he tried.
Anyway, it’s really sad when you have to grow up and learn that a parent is a really shitty person. I don’t understand it, his parents were amazing people. His parents were a huge part of my life growing up and they raised me to be a good person. The rest of my family are great people, including my dad’s sister, who has been a huge source of help and support through all of this shit with him. My dad is just a really, really bad apple.
That’s really just a shame, I’m sorry for you but good for you for rising above it!

Nothing wrong with a good, well-deserved blocking. Sorry you are having to go through this, but it sounds like you are handling it well.

I guess there’s not much to do in Oklahoma but hang out on Faceboot and harass people.
Maybe it’s like Nebraska. Somebody told me the state motto of Nebraska is, “I don’t know, what do YOU want to do?”

You did the right thing. Your father isn’t taking any responsibility on himself for his actions. He’s using you as his guilt trip. They feel so sh**ty about themselves, they want to bring you down to their level and so they play on your love and guilt. Don’t fall for it. It hurts to block someone you love out of your life but, you have always put yourself and your well being first. Losing your grandmother in such dreadful circumstances would be enough to make me never wish to hear from him (if he was my father) ever again. The heart can only take so much breaking, it seems yours has had enough and I along with these others say: Good for you.
