i haven't spoke to my father in 20 years. i don't really care if i ever do or not. i lived a few miles away from him and didn't talk to him.
people who love to say things like "he's still your father" or "you need to have a relationship before its too late" etc etc etc... have absolutely no idea what its like growing up and being physically abused and beaten day in and day out while growing up.... or what its like growing up in a constant state of terror or having to endure any similar type of BS etc and having to look into that persons eyes, knowing that the one person who was supposed to protect you at any cost was the one person who made your life a living nightmare.
for all you people saying "you should, or you'll regret it one day" might want to stop and consider that you are most often spouting that shit to people who were molested or saw family members molested or who were beaten constantly or whatever. you have NO right to start telling people who relationship they should have with toxic, abusive and even dangerous personalities in their lives.
