The envelope had no return address (it hasn't for a long time) and he signed it with "I love you! -Daddy/Name"
What does that mean? I tried asking my sister (who has a different dad) and my mom, but they both scoffed and seemed to just find it pathetic and funny. Which it is, but I was hoping for guidance on how I should be feeling about that.
I keep remembering that time when I was around 18 and visiting him on a weekend, having to keep it secret from my abusive girlfriend. Bad situation. He admitted that he "didn't like having kids."
I wonder if he's being passive aggressive about how we've become acquaintances, or trying to acknowledge that he's not a father -- but, knowing how clueless he is, I'm guessing he had no idea that it was weird?
He spelled my twin brother's name wrong on both the envolope and the card. He doesn't say normal things like how he misses my brother, who hasn't talked to him in years.
He has forgotten my name before, and called me the wrong name. My card had the right name, though. Shrug.
What do you think?
For those who need basic context, without reading the whole story: my dad is a literal psychopath. Probably all I need to say.
