Dear Dad:
This is the only post as such where I will acknowledge your status.
You haven't been much of a Dad to me these last 10 years or so.
Mostly, I want to erase you from my memory. The good memories aren't good enough and the bad ones aren't good for blog fodder.
Mostly I just want you out of my life. You're an asshole and you make me feel bad about who I am, which I have no patience for.
Mostly...
Mostly I just want you to realize what a monumental disappointment you are and how much your awesome daughter has been hurt by this. You? Are a jerk and I don"t give a crap what happens to you anymore. You're not worth a second of my time.
It's too bad that you don't see who I really am.
For realsies.
My other blog- a.k.a. "The blog that put me on the FBI watch list"

Oy. I'm sorry.
I wise person once said (and I paraphrase): "Toxic people are toxic, regardless of who they are. Just because someone is related to you, doesn't mean you have to put up with their shit."
Looks like you've found clarity on the subject.
Onward.
Beverly's right.
I've been sticking with my dad through his assholery, only because I know his grief is behind his behavior and this isn't who he is.
And you're right, you are awesome.
You are wonderful, funny, awesome in every way. Don't let him tell you otherwise, or try and make you feel less than you are.
I'm going through the same sort of thing with my Mom. I haven't heard from her in about 3 years, and then it was only to ask me for money. I only wish I was brave enough to tell her how I feel like you did. You're a smart and beautiful woman. Don't let his drama ever make you forget that. Good luck to you, and keep the blog posts coming! =)
I decided to stop talking to my dad this summer. I'm 41 and it took me this long to realize he can't be the parent I need. It eats at me been though I know it's the right thing. Sometimes the right thing is the hardest thing.
