I recently found out that my Father is on his death bed. Most people would rush to their Fathers bedside but what if you haven't seen your father in 17 years, and another 20 years before that? My only memory of this man is his constant verbal, physical, and emotional abuse he made my siblings and I live with each and every day of our childhood. Is it really my responsibility to give this man the opportunity to make his peace with the way he treated all 4 of his children? Being raised by this man left my spirit broken. I have never trusted men after that experience. I needed him to make his peace with me a long time ago, and I just can't give it to him on his terms. What do you even say to someone after all this time?
I'm going to regret not going as much as I would regret going...
