I know I am no nightmare story here and I guess that's why I wanted to start this. Father's day is tomorrow..... sure to trigger some people with heavy stories and experiences. Me personally, I don't have so much drama with my dad as much as my mom, (I told my mom about my sexual abuse as a 12 yr old and she ignored it, then told her again like, you HAVE to do something about this, didn't. Said it wasn't worth it. Started cutting myself and while that slept for a long time, I've been abusing alcohol since that day. My dad used to be the guy that would do anything for anyone in his family. He helped define my dedication to family I have had and I will take that to the grave. But something in him changed when I asked my mom to come to therapy and finally face what she did to me as a kid a year ago. He now chooses my mom over anyone, and even when she's Clearly wrong he will look at me and say, don't stress her out. Don't make a big deal over this. What the hell happened. I totally respect that he wants her happy, wants her safety and well mind, but he is turning away his own spawn to keep her in this world of I didn't do that much hurt. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am not looking forward to tomorrow and the call I'm supposed to give him, choosing a card for him I was like no I'm not choosing the you're a hero and you're my best friend bs card because we two kids have gotten the shaft the last year so that my mom can live in denial land. I never thought my dad would side with this.
