I hate that. My parents do it too. They were very hands off parents and let an alcoholic and drug addict raise me and then tried to step in and act like they care once I was an adult. Funny how they rewrite history to make them look better too.

As a parent i know the mistakes that i made and hope that your father will wake the fuck up before it is entirely too late and realise that the damage that he’s done isn’t going to be fixed in a short period of time but that he’s going to have to put some actual work into trying to repair it over the long term, and if he’s already missed his chance then he has to fucking live with that.

I cut contact during my first semester and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m in trauma therapy now and it’s rough but I’m improving and realizing how bad things really were.
