What are you doing (or not doing) for Father's Day?

@caroline_13 good work!

TY: I guess what other people think does not come above my well being. But how hard it can be to hold steady in this.

It is weird for those of us with complications. I'm getting my dad a gift (which is incredibly challenging and also late in the mail) and a card. I'll do the song and dance that I dread every year. We have a pretty ok relationship now that I am an adult, but that's been my choice and by virtue of my forgivenes. So an anti-celebration would be nice, if only for some balance.

I'm sending a card. I'm giving myself permission to not talk to him on the phone.

I really don't feel up to it; I also feel super guilty about it, and hoping that I will suddenly talk to him. I can't get rid of the guilt so I'll just try to accept it.
