I don't know if my dad is dead or not.
He should be, he is pretty old.
But the last time I snooped around on line his one-man business was still going.

The baby sitter he married would maybe try to reach me to say he was dead, maybe, dunno.

A big sigh was had when he married her in the blazing sun outside in black leather, including a floppy leather hat.

You’re not required to forgive people, even if they really are sorry. You’re not required to endure some miserable ritual on a yearly basis, except for maybe certain medical procedures. Just remember that you can say no, next time, if you want to.

I had one of those I think extremely rare moments where a psychiatrist (during court ordered counseling after a run of the mill, didn't hurt anyone thank God, DUI) said something and a light bulb went off in my brain and I never had anymore angst, never looked back....

I was telling her about my father, I had filled out a questionnaire honestly, and maybe 5 minutes into the conversation she interrupted me and said, "Your father is a pedophile, a monster, you don't ever need to see him again."


I haven't, and I have no regrets or ? suffer anymore thinking about him.

This was like 25 years ago.
